Ways to Move Your Memoir or Nonfiction Book Forward

Strategic guidance, steady support, and shared momentum—at every stage.

Thoughtful Support for Complex Stories

There’s more than one way to move a book forward. The right support depends on where you are now—and what decisions you need help making.

All of my services are grounded in the same approach: strategic guidance that helps you make smart decisions about your book, so your time, energy, and effort are well spent.

Every client begins with a free Discovery Call. This call helps us get oriented, clarify what you need most right now, and decide which next step will be most useful.

Not Sure Where to Start?

Most writers begin with a Strategic Guidance Session to clarify direction and decide what matters most now.

From there, some choose a Book Blueprint Intensive to set a strong foundation before writing further. Others move into Momentum-Building Coaching or The Author Studio for ongoing support as the book evolves.

The Discovery Call helps us choose the right path—so you’re not guessing or choosing blind.

Choose the Support That Fits Your Book

Strategic Guidance Session

A Strategic Guidance Session is a high-level, focused working session centered on the book as a whole.

This session is for you if:
• You have big questions about direction, focus, or structure
• You’re unsure what matters most right now
• You want to stop circling and start moving forward with confidence

In this session, we’ll:
• Talk through your biggest questions—no question is too small
• Clarify what this book is really about at this stage
• Identify what belongs in this book (and what can wait)
• Decide on the next right step

You’ll leave with clarity you can act on and a direction you can trust.

This session is a focused, high-value strategic working session. Pricing reflects the preparation and depth of insight you’ll receive. It’s an ideal first step for writers who want clarity before investing further time or energy.

The Author Studio

The Author Studio is a small-group space for steady progress, shared perspective, and group coaching.

This option is for writers who:
• Value community without losing individual focus
• Want accountability that’s thoughtful, not pressuring
• Benefit from hearing how others are navigating similar decisions

Individual work is strengthened through group conversation, guided reflection, and shared momentum.

The Author Studio is a curated group for women who value clarity, direction, and real progress in their writing. Together, we create momentum through shared perspective and guided discussion—supporting each other in doing the work, thoughtfully and consistently. It is available to current and past clients by invitation only.
