I have spent years writing and publishing my own books as well as learning everything I can about the industry. Let me put that knowledge and experience to work for you. My goal for this newsletter is to offer writers encouragement and tips for achieving your writing goals, and ways for you to "sharpen the saw" as writers and publishers.
It takes a lot of courage to write a book, and you're taking the steps to do it. That, in itself, is a victory. If you haven’t started your writing journey yet, then I hope this can inspire you to take those first steps.
But you don't have to do it alone. I hope that this newsletter will help you feel supported on your writing journey, and give you resources to make it a bit less daunting. In each issue, I’ll be including an article on a topic relevant to your writing journey. There will also be a recommendation for a book on writing craft or publishing, some links to articles on trending topics in the book world, author life tips, and referrals to other resources for authors.
A book coach is part consultant, part mentor, and part project manager. I’ve done all three of these things as a corporate trainer and instructional designer, and as an author.

A professional beta reader can help you find your plot holes, character problems, and areas where your world building might need some work from the perspective of a reader.

I’ve gathered some great resources for writers and authors From online courses, to marketing help to advertising. You can find them on my Resources page.
