I coach because writers kept asking me for it.
For years, people would see or read my work.
“Can I work with you?”
Finally, I started saying yes.

I’m primarily known for my stage plays and opera libretti, but have also been paid to write video game stories, science blogs, celebrity news, song lyrics, humor, essays, literary and genre fiction, screenplays, ESL lessons, fundraising speeches, poker strategy guides, musicals for children, new material for stand-up comedians, long and short-form poems, video trailers, and once a puzzlemaker even hired me to write rhymed riddles like some kind of weird freelance bridge troll. In my writing life I’ve won awards and fellowships and residencies and grants, but more impressively: after decades of writing, I still LOVE it. In the first three months of 2023, my creative writing word count is higher than in any quarter of any previous year. I am the opposite of burned out. That’s why I coach; I want everyone to get to feel this creatively engaged, this artistically curious, this durably committed, this absolutely lucky when they write. I have limited coaching spots (most of my time goes to writing!) but I love working 1-on-1 to support writers who are ready to grow.

If economy tier is still beyond your financial reach, you may qualify for free coaching with a community scholarship.
As someone who has personally benefited from similar scholarships in the past, I will treat you with respect for your privacy and gratitude for your time.
If this sounds right for you, email me to start a conversation. Let me know you’re interested and I’ll share more specifics about how to qualify and get on my roster.

Sliding scale pricing is vital to cultivating a diverse community of creative voices.

Thank you for being part of it.
