Coaching and Mentoring

What would it be like to have an editor on tap?

 

In our one-to-one coaching sessions, I provide weekly, personalized editorial guidance to empower you tell the stories you love. Together, we set goals and deadlines. I support you and cheer you on as you polish and shape your work for publication!

 

What you get:

 

•  an hour-long phone/Skype consultation at a pre-arranged, mutually agreed time and day each week

• weekly (or bi-weekly), personalized, editorial reviews of new or revised materials by email

 

What clients say . . .

 

Frustrated by rejections?

 

Have you written a bunch of stories, but can't figure out which are the most commercial?

 

Do you find it challenging to find time to write or illustrate and actually finish or revise your work for submission?  

 

Are you a picture book illustrator who would like storyshaping expertise to help you write your own picture books?

 

I can help! I have over 25 years' experience and am passionate about picture books and young fiction.
