As a writing consultant,
my goal is to enter your fictional world, help you rearrange that world, and
then slip out, with your world still intact and very much yours—yet more compelling,
more intriguing, and more surprising to the reader.
I find it invigorating
when I immerse myself into the middle of your creative process while, at the
same time, remaining detached and objective, and yet engaging the writer's
vision, as do you. Just as a writer must corral these two sides of the self—so must
I when I work with you.
A multi-published,
award-winning writer myself, the work I do with writers is a natural extension
of that love. Many writers intend to publish their work, and we focus on this
goal, while others want to develop their voice, the craft of writing, and discover
their potential as such.
If you work with me, my
goal is that you go away with a better understanding of the complicated and
complex art of writing, develop new insight about what questions to ask as your
work advances. Plus, I want you to feel like I've understood your inherent desire
of the project, and that I have helped you develop it to its fullest potential.
Most of all, I want you to feel excited about your writing and encouraged to
continue. For after all, the writing world is indeed magical.
