Answers To Your Questions
How do I know if I’m ready to invest in myself and my writing?
In truth, there’s no perfect answer to this question as it will depend on your circumstances. Whenever the time is right for you I will be right here and so honoured to have the opportunity to support you in your writing journey. You can book a discovery call with me to help you decide if you would like to move your book project forward with intention together.
What is expected of me in our connection?
I’m all in with the writers that I work with, so I ask that you’re all in, too.
You will be expected to show up for yourself by showing up in our connection together. You will be expected to dive deep, be present in our connection, accept feedback on your writing, and move forward at a pace that suits you and your circumstances. (We will explore this in our first meeting together.)
What type of writers do you work with?
I work with writers working on memoir, lyric essays, fiction, poetry, and hybrid projects. What all of the writers who work with me share in common is they write to reach out to the world with luminous words. I can help you shape and hone your work into the form and genre it wants to be in.
What if I need a more customized plan?
If you have unique needs, let’s create a personalized plan together. Choose from:
- Manuscript Support: Receive detailed editorial feedback to develop your manuscript with my guidance.
- Platform Development: Enhance your website, marketing strategies, and build a plan to take your platform to the next level.
- Mix It Up: Combine multiple areas into a custom plan that fits your needs.
