I approach my coaching from a place of deep understanding and empathy. In 2021, I decided to shift gears and use my knowledge to help writers like you. I was able to reclaim my power as a writer. But with help from others and with a writing coach, I was finally able to write again. I dealt with overwhelming perfectionism which just made me procrastinate for years. You see, I've struggled massively with writer resistance for years. My procrastination tendencies, my struggle to “fit in” and the difficulties around creating my own art. I was the Director’s Assistant at Write On Con, an online children’s writers’ conference, and collaborated with hundreds of authors. I’ve worked with authors like Laini Taylor, Alex Aster, and Emily Suveda. I’ve seen hundreds of queries and know what a good one looks like. I worked at Bradford Literary Agency, where I assisted Laura Bradford with her query pile. I often like to call myself a “recovering academic.” I have a Master’s in Publishing and a Bachelor’s in English Literature from UC Berkeley.
