Let's make writing a team sport.
It's not just you, friend...
We all feel the burn (or the nudge, or the tickle) of the book coming through us...
We cram some pages in that previously untouched notebook with ideas, lists, brilliant sentences and vivid memories...
We find some writing time at the coffee shop, on a bench by the river, and feel the flow of words, like we turned on a faucet ...
By the end of week one, (or fifty-one) you think, Look at me I'm writing a book this year. (You even tell some people "I'm writing a book.")
You tromp along okay like this until you think about how to go from scrawled pages to printed book, from your desk to a bookstore shelf, and then...
"How the heck do I turn this into a book?"
You aren't the only one who ever said writing a book is freaking difficult – it's the toughest thing in the world (next to being a mother).
Let me tell you the good news....
you have to do this alone
60% of published authors don't write their book by themselves?
(so give yourself permission to get help, will ya?) Between getting light-starved in an attic garret to painstakingly write your magnum opus and hiring a ghostwriter do the whole manuscript for you exists a broad range of support tools. How about a course, coach, group, or manuscript review? How about a mastermind, writing partner or editor? It's all helpful and getting help doesn't mean the book isn't yours...if you been believing that this had to been done only with your eyes on it until the day it hits the bookstore shelves...there are likely alot more delusions, lies and flow-stopping thoughts in your head. Come on into WRITERS ROOM, listen and share with others in exactly the same situation. Reaching out is the surest way to writing joy I know.
IS THIS GOOD ENOUGH FOR A BOOK?
AM I A GOOD ENOUGH WRITER? BUT WHERE DO I START?
HOW DO I TURN ALL MY CONTENT INTO A BOOK?
HOW CAN I GET A BOOK OUT INTO THE WORLD. ON AMAZON OR IN CHAPTERS?
I CAN'T DO THIS. I'M GONNA GIVE THE ADVANCE BACK.
I bet these sound familiar, and if they don't... well send me a message and tell me what yours say.
All of my clients have gotten stuck and stucker, as the noise of the inner doubt demons got louder and louder.
You don't have to go at it alone. When you need a writing boost, I'm the coach that becomes your collaborator. Whether you've done the first draft, or need to tell your story from scratch, we can craft your book, and get your agent and publisher what they are looking for.
I'm unique among writers and book coaches...

We are in this together, ping-ponging pages back and forth from draft to polish.
Whether I'm your coach or collaborator, project manager or polisher, it's all what I do. And I've got your back.
Beyond my work as a book coach, I'm a published author and collaborator, and experienced ghostwriter. I've written proposals that land agents and publishing deals.

Why collaborating works
If you don't feel like your writing is strong enough, or you've maxed out your energy, time or bandwidth trying to bring your book into the world, I can get involved in a collaboration or co-authorship role.
Our work together is completely customized to your book.
You lay the track and we develop the manuscript in tandem.
Simply put, you and I work together on a story that is told in your voice. You’re the author and I’m the writer — collaborators like me often remain unseen, unless we decide that you want to include my name on the cover or thank me in the opening acknowledgements of your book. (I love that too!)
Having a collaborator is for you if:
- you have no professional writing experience.
- you really want to see your story in a traditionally published format.
- your time is limited, and your writing bandwidth isn't expanding as you'd like.
- you just can't nail the quality your publisher is asking for.
- you want your book and your story in the world.
If your dream involves seeing your name on the spine of a book at Barnes and Noble (US) or Chapters/Indigo (Canada) then a collaborator will help you get your book on shelves selling to the masses.
