Support for Deciding, Starting, and Shaping the Right Book

Thoughtful support for women who are deciding what this book is, how to begin, and what kind of help will move it forward.

Thoughtful Support for Complex Stories

Not every woman who comes to me is ready to write a book on day one. Some already have pages. Some have notes, voice memos, or a strong sense that there is something here. Others are still deciding what the story is, whether it belongs in a book, and what kind of support would help most.

My work combines professional training as a Certified Memoir Book Coach through Author Accelerator with years of experience helping people clarify complex material, shape meaningful stories, and make strong decisions about what comes next.

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

There are two ways to begin: a Discovery Call for women who want tailored support, or the workshop for women who want a lower-risk place to think it through first.

Not ready to commit to a book yet? Start here.

Before You Write a Single Word Workshop

The Before You Write a Single Word Workshop is a small-group experience for the woman who feels pulled to write her story, but wants to think it through before she begins.

This is a lower-risk first step for exploring the real questions before you commit more deeply: what the story is really about, why it matters, what belongs in it, and what would make it feel possible to begin.

You do not need a draft, a title, or a fully formed concept. You need space to look at the material with honesty, discernment, and care.

If you would rather do that work one-on-one, we can also explore those same questions in a Strategic Guidance Session.

This is for you if:

  • You feel pulled to write your story, but are not ready to dive in yet

  • You want to think through the emotional and practical questions before you begin

  • You want clarity before spending months on the wrong version

  • You want a lower-risk, thoughtful first step

You’ll leave with:

  • Greater clarity on what this story is really asking of you

  • A better sense of what belongs and what does not

  • A more grounded understanding of your next step

Support for every stage of your story

If you’re looking for more tailored support, we’ll start with a Discovery Call to identify the right next step.

Strategic Guidance Session

A Strategic Guidance Session is a focused one-on-one working session designed to help you gain clarity on one key decision or set of related questions about your book.

This can be the right fit if you already know you want private support, or if you want to work through early “before you write” questions in a more personal setting. It is also a strong next step if you have already started writing and need perspective, direction, and a clear path forward.

In our 60 minutes together, we’ll clarify what matters most at this stage, identify the decision you're facing, and determine the next right move.

What’s included:

  • One 60-minute recorded working session

  • A strategic conversation centered on your biggest questions

  • A short written recap of key insights and next steps within 48 hours

Book Blueprint Intensive

Book Blueprint Intensive is a short, focused process designed to help you shape the foundation of your book before you write further. It's based on Jennie Nash's Blueprint for a Book.

This is ideal if you are ready to clarify your focus, define your reader, and make the key structural decisions that will guide the rest of the work. Over three sessions across three weeks, we establish the core elements that shape the book: what it is really about, who it is for, how it is organized, and what comes next.

You’ll leave with a clearer foundation, so drafting no longer feels like guesswork.

What’s included:

  • Three 60-minute recorded sessions over three weeks
  • Between-session email support to keep the work moving
  • A one-page Next Steps Roadmap (written) with your priorities and sequence, so you know exactly what to do after we finish.

By the end, you’ll have:

  • A clarified book focus and organizing thread
  • An ideal reader profile
  • Clear next steps

This foundational work helps you build the right book before investing months in the wrong version.

Momentum-Building Coaching

Momentum-Building Coaching is a longer-term strategic partnership for women who want steady progress, thoughtful feedback, and high-level support as the book evolves.

This is for you if you do not just want a single moment of clarity, but continued thought partnership as you build, revise, and strengthen the book over time. Whether you are shaping the early structure, working through the murky middle, or making later-stage decisions about revision or publishing, this work meets you where you are.

What’s included:

  • Eight 60-minute coaching sessions across four months
  • Ongoing strategic thought partnership as the book evolves
  • Developmental feedback on up to 20 pages per month, when useful
  • Between-session email support for questions, decisions, and stuck points
  • Guidance on structure, theme, chapter alignment, and revision planning
  • Publishing strategy support as needed

This package is designed to help you make smart decisions and keep moving forward with confidence.

When our four months wrap up, you won’t be left wondering what’s next. You’ll have a clear sense of your direction, the work ahead, and the confidence to keep going, whether with me, with a group, or on your own.

More information available upon request.

You do not have to sort this out by yourself.

If you want clarity on what this story is, what belongs in the book, or what kind of support would help, start with a Discovery Call.
