Working Together
Every project begins with a conversation. The services below are designed to meet writers at different stages of their memoir—whether you’re still shaping an idea, deep in the drafting process, or looking for clear-eyed editorial guidance on a finished manuscript.
All work begins with a discovery call to ensure we’re a good fit and that the support you receive matches your goals, timeline, and experience.
Guidance through drafting, deep revision, or opening new paths when you feel stuck.
Monthly Coaching
Monthly coaching offers ongoing, collaborative support for writers who want to build steady progress and real momentum at any stage—whether you’re developing ideas, drafting pages, or revising your manuscript. Together, we focus on craft, clarity, and intention, strengthening your writing while keeping the larger vision of your book in view.
What’s Included
Two 1-hour coaching calls per month
Submission of 15–25 pages every two weeks
Written editorial feedback on each submission
Support with drafting, revision, or generative work
Minimum three-month commitment
Ideal for:
Writers at any stage—developing an idea, drafting, or revising—who are looking for consistent feedback, accountability, and guidance through the process.
Memoir Generation
Memoir Generation is designed for writers who know they have a story to tell but feel unsure where to begin. This structured, three-month process helps you move from idea to a detailed, workable outline that you can confidently draft from.
Grounded in the Author Accelerator Blueprint method and supported by guided materials and in-depth coaching conversations, we move through an iterative process to explore your story’s core questions, shape its structure, and clarify what you most want to communicate to readers.

Blueprint for Memoir guidebook and workbook
Two 1-hour coaching calls per month over three months
Deep exploration of story, theme, and structure to create a detailed outline from which you will draft your memoir.
Email support between sessions
Ideal for
Writers at the beginning stage who want clarity, direction, and a strong foundation before drafting.
Manuscript Evaluation
A manuscript evaluation offers comprehensive, professional feedback on a completed draft. This service is designed to help you understand what’s working, what isn’t yet, and how to move forward with clarity and confidence.
Rather than line-by-line editing alone, this process looks at the manuscript as a whole—structure, pacing, voice, and intention—so you can see the book you’re actually writing.
What’s Included
Full read-trough and assessment of manuscripts up to 75,000 words
In-line comments throughout the manuscript
A detailed editorial letter including next steps.
One 1-hour strategy call to discuss feedback
Option to add on further coaching or revision support at a reduced rate
Note: Manuscripts over 75,000 words may incurr an additional fee, to be discussed in advance.
Ideal for:
Writers with a finished draft, looking for direction or support as they head into revisions.
Experienced writers seeking a professional assessment before they take the next steps in their publication journey.
Discovery Call
It All Starts with a Conversation
If you’re not sure which service fits your project, that’s completely normal. The discovery call is a chance to talk through your ideas, your experience, and what you’re hoping to accomplish—without pressure or obligation.
Questions You Might Be Holding
1. Do I need to have my memoir fully written before reaching out?
Not at all. Some writers come with a draft, others with notes, memories, or simply a desire to begin. What matters most is your willingness to explore your story thoughtfully—we can shape the process from wherever you are starting.
2. What happens after I submit the contact form?
Once you share a brief description of your project, I’ll personally review it and email you a private scheduling link for a discovery call. This helps ensure our conversation is focused and meaningful from the start.
3. Is the discovery call a sales conversation?
No. It’s a space to talk about your project, your questions, and what kind of support might feel right for you. There’s no pressure to decide anything during the call.
4. What kind of writers do you typically work with?
I tend to work with writers who feel a strong pull toward reflection—people who want to understand the deeper meaning behind their experiences, not just document events. Many are beginning their first memoir or returning to a story they’ve carried for years.
5. How do I know if memoir coaching is right for me?
If you’re looking for structure, thoughtful feedback, and a collaborative process that respects your voice, coaching can be a powerful fit. The discovery call is the best place to explore whether this approach aligns with your goals.
