Lost your creative spark? Not sure what to do?
Let me help you find greener pastures.
Are you feeling burned out?
Tired of working to keep up with impossible standards?
Today’s publishing paradigm is broken! And it’s hurting authors.
I help authors communicate easier by connecting their creative spirit with practical action. To do this, I use my over two decades as a published author to create services designed to reduce overwhelm and keep authors focused on what matters to them in order to cultivate creative wellness, prevent and overcome burnout, and create their own publishing career so they can thrive as authors.
Discover your strengths and what’s working for you.
Get help with technical things like your website and newsletter to take more OFF your plate.
Learn to love writing again and jump over any obstacles in your way.
The truth is
The current publishing paradigm treats books like “widgets” produced in a factory and authors like assembly line workers.
That’s a recipe designed to create chronic stress and burnout!
And for authors chronic stress causes
Loss of joy and diminished creativity
Feeling like you have to do more with less resources
Imposter syndrome
Health issues
(and yes, burnout!)
You could stay stuck on the write – publish – promote treadmill and get (or remain) burned out OR YOU COULD
craft the publishing path that works for you and keeps you telling the stories you were meant to tell.
Let’s start this transformation by
Take A Publishing Inventory

Discover Your Publishing Profile
As part of the inventory process, we’ll take a publishing profile to see which publishing path will unlock your creative genius. This is your key to success along this journey and a can’t miss step.
Create A Journey
Now that we have the key to your creative genius, we’ll craft a journey toward creative wellness. This is no turn-by-turn boring GPS; it’s filled with landmarks and sights you’ll want to see.
Your quest to find greener pastures begins by booking a free call.

Removing Stress From Writing Is About Balance
I don't think I'm alone in saying that if I could just write and the stories would magically release and promote themselves then that would be an idea way to go. I've talked about how I made writing my "happy place", the self-care I do when life gets rough. All the...
Is Your Technology Giving You More Time To Write?
Today I'm doing a long-form dive into a topic that's been on my mind lately. If there's one thing that's changed in the world of publishing, and especially self-publishing, over the past several years it's that there are more ways for authors to share their work and...
Why Writing Needs To Be Your Happy Place
I wrote for close to twenty years before making writing my happy place. Instead it was "my business", "my focus", "what I wanted to do." And sure, I enjoyed crafting and releasing the stories. Loved hearing from readers with feedback on them. Loved cashing the royalty...
It’s Not Just Google Drive Locking Authors Out of Files
In recent days there's been several reports of authors who use Google Drive to share stories with beta readers receiving notice that their files have been removed for violations of terms of service. The commonality appears to be that the stories in question contained...
Writing with a Spiritual Purpose
If you read a lot of blogs about writing or follow a lot of writing related podcasts, very few are talking about the spiritual dimension of writing. A few discuss finding work-life balance with writing and being an author since we do so much more than simply write...
Writing at the Intersection of Story and Creativity
