Write a story that moves people.
Are you a nice human who dreams of writing and publishing stories that enact wider change? I’m a nice human who loves supporting people and nonprofits on that storytelling journey.
I give each client my all. I know we’re really grooving when each person feels motivated and nourished by a clear, exciting vision, ample feedback, and a shared belief that the stories we tell–and the stories we amplify–shape the world.

1. The Editor’s Garden: A 6-week editing journey with a dedicated cohort
Edit with confidence and grow your writing community–at the same time.
Everyone has a different editing style that works for them. Dedicate six weeks to discovering and implementing your unique approach, gaining fresh perspectives, and connecting with other writers.
Each week, you will:
Learn a new, fundamental principle of developmental editing (think “big picture” changes to your manuscript).
Witness a “live editing” session led by me.
Apply your fresh insight to your latest draft.
Ask each other and myself urgent editing questions during open Q&A time.
Commit to turning in a draft for at least one of the editing deadlines.
Join my newsletter to be the first to know when enrollment opens in January.
Note: I am capping this experience at six people so that each writer gets abundant care, feedback, and space to share.
You’ll benefit from:
Six, 90-minute group sessions to air questions, watch me edit “live,” devote time each week to your story, and get those big-picture questions answered.
Two, external deadlines (in the middle at the end) to increase motivation and implement feedback.
Detailed suggestions on what to prioritize, including:
Weekly group feedback (if desired) during class and Q&A time.
A 500-word editing letter (sometimes called editorial summary) for one of your writing submissions that reviews elements like plot, character development, stakes, and pacing.
A deeper understanding of your unique skills and struggles as a lifelong learner of the craft.
Improved confidence and tools for how to move forward with your draft.
Package 1: $650 per person.
2. StoryBloom: Private, tailored sessions for visionary authors
A great fit for writers ready to elevate their craft and commit to writing their best stories yet.
Dedicate the next two-four months to finishing that thing you’ve been putting off. Writers of all stages use this deluxe, private editing package to finish their outline, grow their story gardens, launch essay collections, edit their drafts, finish their books, and more.
I love watching writers grow their stories and confidence during our time together.
Each month, you will:
Grow your personalized library of story excerpts, craft talks, and podcast recommendations, and more, as you nurture and challenge your ideas about “good” writing.
Commit to one external deadline specifically aligned with your #1 goal of our time together.
Expand your editing toolkit via intensive, live editing sessions that nourish your work.
Feel more confident as your story and big project takes root.
You’ll benefit from:
Multiple guidance calls each month. These 75-minute sessions include craft lessons, time for implementing feedback, and time for pertinent questions.
Ample, relevant feedback and encouragement from an editor who cares about your vision and can help you articulate it confidently.
Ongoing support to craft and revise a strong author bio and sample cover letter to prepare for your submission journey.
Motivation to finish your essays (or book) via external deadlines and weekly accountability.
Optional add-ons:
Specialty lessons from genre experts (for graphic novels, thrillers, historical fiction, speculative fiction, essays, and memoirs).
Private sessions with publishing and marketing experts.
Increased word count for monthly submissions.
Package 2: Begins at $1,950/month
3. Canopy Partner: Strategic communications for mission-driven nonprofits
Expand your reach. Transform your impact.
This is a communications package designed specifically for nonprofits who want to maximize their impact without getting bogged down in marketing minutia.
As a writer and communications specialist, I’ll use your organization's unique brand identity to design and publish strategic communications across multiple channels, helping you connect more authentically with donors, volunteers, and the communities you serve.
I require a minimum commitment of two months for this package.
You’ll benefit from:
Compelling communications that can include email campaigns, press releases, newsletters, social media posts, impact-focused blogs, and more.
Increased fundraising capacity because you built a communications strategy that aligns with the needs and wishes of your target audience.
A strong online presence that clearly communicates your nonprofit's mission, impact, and programs, and wins.
Weekly collaboration that includes ongoing feedback, brainstorming sessions, discussions with your leadership team, and celebrating recent organizational wins.
