. . . Yet laying down language in clear, sensible nouns and verbs can be frustrating. It may unearth emotions that leave you feeling raw, vulnerable, exposed. This can lead to apprehensions, mental blocks or feeling alone in the process.
I feel your struggle, and I’m here for you—much like having an artistic hand to hold and emotional support as you clarify your message.
Because I’ve had the benefit of working across a kaleidoscope of writing styles, genres and platforms, I’m able to offer a highly personalized approach based on your writing and publishing goals. Nothing I do is cookie-cutter, because you and your project are not.
Think of me, if you will, as a muse-ologist. I mix concepts and phraseology, stir in cerebral and intuitive insight, shake it up, infuse a dash of whimsy, and serve it up neat or fancy, depending on your taste. The goal is to lift and enliven what’s already there, amplifying the language with an appropriate dose of sparkle while never dulling the author-client’s true voice.
Sprinkled throughout all of my skill sets is another dose of magic: As a trained intuitionist, my connection to Creator and creation energy is finely attuned. I glean your essence as an author and humbly open to divine inspiration on behalf of your project. The guidance is very specific to you and can elevate your project in delightfully unexpected ways.
Instructions for living a life: Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.
What wondrous expressions could you accomplish if you had a trusted muse to ignite your creative spark, and deftly mentor you through every aspect of concepting, writing, editing, publishing and promoting?
With 40+ years in the literary and publishing worlds—as a writer, author, journalist, editor, talent/acquisitions pro, consultant, event curator and communications strategist—I’ve served as the quiet, clever catalyst behind bold literary breakthroughs, helping visionaries (like you!) bring their missives into the world with power and polish.
With my expert guidance and taking full advantage of my deep experience, my clients have gone on to secure top-tier literary agents, ink book and film deals, achieve bestselling status, win prestigious book/design awards, build standout brands, be invited to deliver TEDx talks and distinguished keynote addresses, uplevel their companies, and carve out thriving freelance careers.
At the core of it all is a passion for story. Storytelling is ingrained in our DNA and in everything we do. Through it, we comprehend the full spectrum of life’s meaning, be it beatific or tragic. Language has the latitude to collapse the distance between us, and the weaving of our collective narrative can change the trajectory of our humanity. Your voice has a sacred thread in that tapestry. I’m honored to help you speak it.
If the urge to turn your story into something exquisite is stirring in you, let’s chat. I’m here to help you make it undeniable and unforgettable.
Here are the three main casks through which you may join with me to incite and effervesce your creative elixir into a book, screenplay, speech, blog or various other written forms. Across and throughout these three main project phases, I offer everything from full-on, continuous support (like a coach) to a touch-in-when-you-need-me array of services aimed at keeping your creative momentum strong, clear and forward-moving.
Get intimate with your inner urge to blossom creatively. Let me help you unblock, imagine, unfurl and clarify your words into forms and forums that accurately reflect who you are and what you wish to share with others. Choose from à la carte consulting when you need it … to my ongoing, high-touch Write of Passage signature offering.
This middle cauldron is all about structure, story architecture, pure articulation of your central themes and flow of the narrative. It covers anything from premise conception and evaluation of your work through to revisions and final editing. This is where we finely polish your gem to its maximum luminescence.
It’s time to share the word and broadcast your message. Where and how should you publish your work? What happens once you’ve obtained author status? This phase is where I call on left-brain analysis and strategy, addressing everything about the business of book production, promotion and authordom.
Let’s jump on a call to talk about what you need, be it singular or comprehensive. I suggest a meet-and-greet to begin so I can get to know you personally and hear you directly speak about your project. I gain a lot from this discussion, intellectually and intuitively. We will touch on many potentials for your project’s emergence and eventual publication.
