Work With Me
I work with writers and creators at meaningful crossroads — moments when something important is being weighed, responsibilities are real, and clarity feels more supportive than urgency.
Often, the people who come to me aren’t looking to be pushed forward or talked into a decision. They’re looking for a thoughtful, honest conversation about what a particular path may ask of them — creatively, emotionally, and financially — so they can choose with care rather than pressure.
Who This Is For
This work may be a good fit if you are:
Weighing whether to continue, revise, publish, or pause a specific project
Considering independent publishing and unsure whether it aligns with your life, energy, or finances
Carrying real responsibilities and wanting to avoid costly trial and error
Seeking clarity and perspective rather than validation
If what you’re looking for right now is motivation, reassurance, or someone to make the decision for you, this likely isn’t the right space — and that’s said with care, not judgment.
How I Work
My role isn’t to tell you what to do or to persuade you toward a particular outcome. Instead, I help surface the trade-offs that are often difficult to see when you’re close to the work — the costs, the risks, the timing, and the emotional weight that can accompany creative decisions.
Our conversations are contained and respectful of your time and energy. There is no expectation to move forward in any direction once a session ends.
Ways We Can Work Together
Story & Project Consultation
A one-time clarity conversation
A private, focused conversation centered on a specific story or creative project when you’re unsure how — or whether — to move forward.
Format:
60–90 minute private consultation
Brief pre-read of agreed-upon material (shared after booking)
Verbal reflection and discussion
Fee: $350
Payment confirms the appointment and preparation time.
Publishing & Creative Strategy Consultation
Costs, risks, timing, and alignment
A big-picture conversation about publishing paths and creative choices, with particular attention to financial reality, opportunity cost, and long-term sustainability.
This is not a launch plan or a publishing blueprint. It’s a grounded conversation designed to help you assess whether a particular approach truly supports the life you’re living.
Format:
60–90 minute private consultation
No manuscript review required
Fee: $400
Payment confirms the appointment and preparation time.
Retreats & Immersions
Occasional small-group gatherings
From time to time, I offer small retreats or immersive gatherings for writers who need space to think clearly — away from deadlines, algorithms, and constant output.
Details and pricing are shared when offerings are available.
What This Work Is Not
This work is not coaching, developmental editing, ghostwriting, or ongoing mentorship. I don’t offer guarantees, formulas, or promised outcomes.
What I do offer is clarity — before more time, money, or energy is spent.
How to Inquire
If you’d like to inquire, please share a brief description of where you are and what decision you’re hoping to gain clarity around. This helps me understand whether a conversation would be supportive and appropriate.
If you’re inquiring about a consultation, you’re welcome to note which one you’re considering.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will you read my full manuscript?
I review a limited amount of material only when it supports the conversation. This work is about perspective and decision-making, not manuscript evaluation or editing.
Is this coaching or ongoing support?
No. Consultations are one-time, contained conversations. There is no ongoing support unless a new session is intentionally booked.
Will you tell me what to do?
No. My role is to help you see your options clearly, not to make decisions on your behalf.
Can you help me decide whether to publish?
Yes. Many conversations focus on whether publishing — and which path — aligns with a person’s responsibilities, resources, and long-term goals.
Do you guarantee outcomes or success?
No. I don’t offer guarantees or predictions. I offer clarity before further investment is made.
How do I know if this is a fit?
If you value honest perspective, gentle clarity, and space to decide without pressure, this work may be a good fit.
