Writing Coaching
You have a specific writing problem. You need targeted help, not a long-term engagement. Book one, two, or four hours, and we work on exactly what you need.
How It Works
You book one, two, or four hours and pay in advance. We use that time on whatever writing problem you bring. Structure that is not working. A chapter that stalls. Dialogue that reads flat. A story that lost its momentum. Point of view that keeps drifting. An opening that buries the hook. You tell me the problem. We fix it.
If you need more time, we schedule additional hours at the end of the session. No discovery call. No intake process. You book, you show up, we work.

What Writers Bring to These Sessions
Structure Problems
The manuscript has chapters but no momentum. Scenes exist in the wrong order. The middle sags. The ending does not land. We restructure what you have into something that works.
Character Issues
Characters feel flat or inconsistent. Motivations are unclear. The protagonist is reactive instead of driven. We work through the wound-adaptation-pattern and give your characters psychological depth.
Dialogue
Characters all sound the same. Conversations deliver information but lack tension. Dialogue tags are clunky. We fix the speech patterns, subtext, and rhythm that make dialogue sound like real people talking.
Point of View
Head-hopping. Inconsistent distance. The wrong POV character for the scene. We sort out which perspective serves the story and how to stay in it cleanly.
Pacing and Tension
The story drags in places. Action scenes feel rushed. Quiet moments feel empty. We identify where the rhythm breaks and how to control the reader’s experience of time.
Getting Unstuck
You have hit a wall and do not know what happens next. The story has stalled. We diagnose whether it is a plot problem, a character problem, or a motivation problem, and we get you moving again.
Writing Coaching vs. Book Coaching
Writing Coaching (this page) is for targeted sessions on specific craft problems. You book hours, show up with a problem, and we solve it. $200/hour. No ongoing commitment.
Book Coaching is for writers who want guided support through an entire book project, from concept to completed manuscript. Sold in 10-hour blocks at $200–$300 per hour ($2,000–$3,000 per block), with a lower per-hour rate on subsequent blocks.
Not sure which you need? If you have a finished draft with specific problems, writing coaching. If you are starting a book or in the middle of one and need someone alongside you for the whole project, book coaching.
