Story Development & Writing Coaching

One-on-one writing consultations for pre-teens, teens, and young adults at every stage of the writing journey. As an award-winning novelist, screenwriter, and college creative writing professor, I offer personalized coaching in storytelling, character development, dialogue, plot, revision, essays, novels, and screenplays. Whether you're building confidence, preparing for school or competitions, or finishing a manuscript for publication, you'll receive practical feedback and guidance tailored to your goals. Virtual sessions are available and designed to help you grow as a writer—one page, one story, and one breakthrough at a time.

Experience subject

Writing consultations are available for fiction—covering short stories, novel chapters, and full-length novels—and for screenwriting, including television, short films, feature films, and TV pilots. Sessions can be customized for any stage of the writing process, from pre-writing and brainstorming to concept development, character creation, world-building, narrative structure, scene development, dialogue, pacing, revision, and editing. I also offer advice on query letters, synopsis writing, manuscript preparation, the publishing process, and industry questions, whether you aim for traditional or independent publishing. Whether you're beginning with an idea or refining a finished manuscript or script, each session aims to help advance your project through clear, constructive feedback.
