For Writers
Our coaching team is made up of 28 bestselling and award-winning authors, supported by an editorial department with top-tier publishing experience. Our in-house editors have all worked at the world’s most influential publishers—Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, Hachette, Macmillan, and Simon & Schuster—guiding books that have gone on to win prizes and top charts. Our sole focus? Giving your manuscript the best possible path to publication.
We produce New York Times and Sunday Times bestsellers at The Novelry
From your first spark of an idea to the final polish before submission, I’m part of the team that supports writers every step of the way.
As the author of fifteen published books, I take the responsibility of guiding writers to publication seriously. I coach with one goal in mind: helping you move from idea to finished book with confidence, calm, and creative joy.
What I Specialize In…
Memoir & Autofiction
Shaping lived experience into story with honesty, structure, and emotional depth.
Children’s & Young Adult Fiction
Crafting stories that meet younger readers right where they are, with a voice and energy they’ll love.
Flow & Creative Practice
Building writing habits that feel sustainable, rhythmic, and full of delight.
Writing has always been my place of stillness in a noisy world, and I want every writer I work with to experience that same sense of clarity and flow. I believe creativity flourishes when we slow down, listen inwardly, and trust the work. My teaching is grounded in the science of the Flow State—that moment when time drops away and writing becomes effortless play. I mentor writers to create from clarity, not chaos, helping them reconnect with their creative instincts while building sustainable, joy-filled writing lives.
What Coaching Looks Like at the Novelry
