I'm just getting started and I have no idea what I'm doing. I need to speak to someone. HELP!
Story Stroll
Free | 30 Minutes
A relaxed 30-minute conversation to talk about your story, your goals, and what might be possible.
This is a safe space and a low-stakes convo. You can ask me anything—because I'm an open book and the truth matters—and I'll do my best to meet you where you are and share the ways I may be able to support you (or point you in the direction of someone else who can.)
CLARIFY
I know I've got something, but I have so many questions. I don't know what I don't know.
Consultations
$295 | 60 Minutes
One focused session. One specific outcome. One call to get you on your way.
Story Starter
Perfect if you're exploring writing, publishing or next steps.
This is a 60-minute one-to-one Zoom consultation designed to help you gain clarity, confidence, and momentum on your book project.
Whether you're just starting out, stuck in the middle of a draft, or trying to understand the publishing process, this session gives you:
- expert insight,
- practical guidance, and
- actionable next steps
on whatever block or barrier you come to the call with, so you can move forward with momentum instead of spinning your wheels.
Memoir Compass Calibration
The Memoir Compass Calibration is a private, 60-minute 1:1 clarity conversation for first-time memoirists who know they have a story but aren’t yet sure how to hold it.
If you’re overwhelmed, second-guessing, or afraid of wasting time drafting the wrong thing, this session helps you get oriented.
Together, we clarify your:
-
Motivation (why this story matters to you),
-
Mission (what it’s meant to do in the world), and
-
Message (what a reader is meant to take with them)
so you can move forward with confidence, clarity, and intention.
REFINE
I've written a draft, but I can't determine whether it's finished or needs more work. (I'm pretty sure it needs more work.)
