Interested in working with me?

My coaching practice focuses on novel planning, full manuscript evaluations, and revision coaching (which includes Inside Outline coaching) for thriller, mystery and suspense (of all kinds, including romantic suspense), as well as pitching preparation when the manuscript is ready.
