[et_pb_section][et_pb_row][et_pb_column type=”4_4″][et_pb_text]I’m passionate about helping people share their art with the world. In fact, I’m counting on you to make the world a better place. Do you write heart-centered stories? Does using your authentic voice require a little risk? Does your enthusiasm border on intense? Do you find humor in the insanity that we call life? Well, I love you already! Fiction Coaching Nothing makes me happier than encouraging other writers. My skills are best suited to those with a complete first draft. Fugly is fine. Untold revisions that have destroyed your confidence? I can work with that. But you’re not really in it unless you’ve made to The End at least once. My personal taste is a mix of commercial and literary. I’m openly YA, and also adore a revitalized take on chick lit. LGBTQ+, you’re home. Three ways for me to help you: Holy Crap! I’m in the Weeds This is for the person who says, “I’ve finished my first draft, or revision 12, and I don’t know what to do next. Help!” Do you need more editing? Beta readers? A complete structural edit? Or should you submit to agents? Together, we will look at your synopsis, and first and last chapters, to get clarity on your next steps. Amazon or NYC? Small Press or Hybrid? Maybe you’ve dreamed of a traditional publishing deal, queried agents with meh results, and you’re about to give up on that dream. Or perhaps you have six books ready to upload to Amazon, but you’re not convinced that’s the right path. Together we will investigate your first three chapters and your goals, and unlock the best strategies for publishing success. Dialogue Editing Dialogue must pop. I can help. Non-Fiction Are you an expert in your field and somewhere on the road to publication? Are you unsure about writing your blog, book proposal or sample chapters? Did an agent tell you your platform isn’t strong enough? Let’s chat to see if I’m a good fit for your project and platform building. Author Marketing Before you can sell a lot of books you must: 1. Write a great book that readers can’t help sharing with all of their friends. (First, and foremost, craft.) 2. Make it easy for the press and readers to fall in love with you. (Yes, you’re totally lovable.) Branding gets to the essence of who you are as your most authentic self. Branding amplifies that authentic self throughout all of your marketing channels, from your website to your social media. Branding is a gross marketing term. Let’s call branding by another name: your voice. Own it and use it. Not sure about marketing and art? Please don’t spend thousands of hours writing a wonderful book and signing a great publishing contract, or indie publishing with high hopes, only to not find your readers. Avoid that nasty predicament by understanding and developing your brand. As the founder of an international PR and marketing agency, I had the miraculous good fortune of working with Olympic athletes, authors, designers and many others who’ve made their passion their paycheck. My clients have been covered in the media worldwide. Whether you are traditionally published, self-published or pre-published, I’d love to help the world fall in love with you.
