before working together

you might feel uncertain about your idea
you want to give writing a chance
but something is holding you back

after working together

you’ve moved from idea to finished first draft
of the story you want to tell
novel | memoir | essay | story

WRITING MENTOR + WRITING WORKSHOPS

Story Catching

FROM IDEA TO FINISHED FIRST DRAFT

You don’t need to be the same kind of writer as your writing mentor.

As a writing coach, I am your lighthouse, a safe harbor and a guide through your creative process – before you go “back out to sea.”

Here’s just a glimpse at how we work together and what to expect along the way:

I

let’s rough it out

this isn’t book coaching or
manuscript critique, this is learning
how to get really comfortable
with a very raw draft:

this is our starting point

we set the stage & let it play out

II

reflect

where do you have great flow? 
or are getting bogged down? 
this is how to see what’s working
(or not working) in your story:

this is how we keep moving

see your patterns + try new things

III

refine

now what? how do you get past
the first draft? we learn to see what’s
authentic, under the surface, & couldn’t
be written by anyone else but you:

we only keep the truest kernel

the truest story & expand only from here!
