Work With Me

Craft your story. Honor your intuition.

Hey there, Magical Friend -

Writing a novel is more than just putting words on a page—it’s a journey of self-discovery, creativity, and transformation. As someone who has walked both the literary and spiritual paths, I understand the courage it takes to share your story with the world.

With an MFA in Creative Writing from Southern New Hampshire University and a Certificate in Copyediting from Emerson College, I’ve spent decades in the publishing industry, including time with Simon & Schuster, helping writers bring their visions to life.

But my journey doesn’t stop there. I’ve served in alternative ministry for over thirty years and hold a Doctorate in Metaphysical Science from the University of Sedona. This spiritual path has taught me the importance of intuition, inner wisdom, and the sacredness of storytelling.

As a Transformation Academy Certified Master Life Coach, I blend these experiences to offer a holistic approach to writing. Whether you’re just starting or refining your manuscript, I’m here to support you with personalized coaching, expert editing, and intuitive guidance.

Let’s embark on this creative journey and bring your story to life.

Not Sure What You Need?

Let’s talk. I offer a free 15-minute call to help you determine the right path forward.

What Are Story Rituals?

Story rituals are intentional practices that help writers connect with their intuition, quiet the noise, and approach their work with clarity and purpose. From tarot pulls and meditative journaling to intentional writing ceremonies, these small, sacred moments transform the creative process into something meaningful, grounded, and deeply personal.

My Intiutive Writing Life blog offers ideas and inspiration for story rituals, but when we collaborate, I’ll create rituals tailored to you and your project.

“Kendra's eye for detail and thorough critique with suggestions on improving my craft have been game-changers for my writing! Look no further if you're looking for sincere feedback with plenty of positive encouragement on your next writing project. She's now on my speed dial!”
— William Sirls, best-selling author of The Reason (adapted into a motion picture)

What My Clients Are Saying

“I owe an enormous debt of gratitude to Kendra! I have recently completed a manuscript for a memoir that's been 26 years in the making. I tend to procrastinate! Kendra threw down the gauntlet about a year ago when she declared  "If you don't write your story, I will!" As I expressed my profound lack of self-confidence, she lovingly and enthusiastically encouraged me, expressing her absolute belief that I have what it takes to pull it off. And thanks to Kendra, pull it off, I did! Her deeply appreciated nudge filled me with a feeling of power, possibility, and promise! I will be forever thankful!!”
— Jodi Tolman, author/keynote speaker/podcast host/blogger

“Kendra is thorough in her analysis of your work. Her critical eye for detail and tone within a story is stellar and really pushes you to do better with your writing. She also goes beyond in her critique and offers suggestions about what doesn’t work and why and does so in a way that supports your vision as a writer. Her feedback is blunt and honest, but she offers encouragement along the way and points out what works. If you’re stuck on a direction or vision for a part in your story, her feedback will definitely offer clarity and help you move forward.”
— Cassie Brooks, award-winning children’s author of I See the Moon and the Moon Sees Me

“As a first-time author, I was overwhelmed by the indie publishing process, but Kendra helped me with all my questions. I now have an indie-published book that I’m incredibly proud of. If you’re looking for someone to take the stress out of publishing and make your book shine, Kendra is the one!”
— Kristy Whilden, author of The Music I Remember

“I have hired Kendra on numerous occasions. She has helped me by demonstrating her expertise in writing skills and creativity. She is extremely professional and delightful to work with and always listens to what I need. I would recommend her services to anyone, and I plan to use her again!”
— Cheryl Phelan, realtor

“Taking the plunge and asking Kendra to mentor me was the right move to kick my writing into high gear. It was like doing a google search and always getting the best answer! I feel like I just gained ten years of writing knowledge in such a short time.”
— Dana Bower, writer of contemporary fiction
