Book titles are HARD. You have to find a handful of words that will pique a reader's interest AND encapsulate what your book is about. This FREE guide will show you how to create a strong title that grabs readers’ attention and resonates with your book.
Your title is the first thing that hooks readers. So yeah, it’s a big deal.
Writing is difficult under the best of circumstances. Writing while juggling all the things makes things even more challenging. In this free guide, you’ll learn how to create a writing plan that will help you achieve your writing goals while still honoring the reality of your life’s circumstances.
There’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all writing plan. Write YOUR way.
Learn how to generate compelling story ideas by combining three key elements: Core, Concept, and Character. In my signature 12-page guide for novelists, I provide you with a system that helps you turn your ideas into stories readers can’t put down. This guide is also helpful during the editing stage: If your story isn’t working, there’s a good chance your Core, Concept, and Character are not in alignment.
Say goodbye to ho-hum stories.
Readers want to get lost in a story, but they don’t want to BE lost while reading your story. This free guide helps you strengthen your story logic. Here you’ll find an iterative method and reusable worksheets to help you avoid plot holes, inconsistencies and other illogical pitfalls.
Strong logic builds strong stories!
Your parenting life and your writer life do NOT have to be in conflict with each other. In my free guide for parent writers, you get age-appropriate tips on how to include your children in your writing life.

I host free one-hour writing accountability sessions on Zoom. The schedule rotates, but there are 2-3 sessions per week. We show up, spend the first couple minutes sharing our goal for the session, write for about 50 minutes, then close out with a check-in. You are welcome to come late and leave early. Sign up to receive links!
Show up. Do the work. Repeat.
Reading widely is one of the best things we can do to improve our writing. Use the following BOOK BINGO card to help you expand your reading selections. It’s also a fun activity to do as a yearly challenge with a book club or writing group.
Read to write!
