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 This One Thing Can Help You Beat Writer’s Block
When authors talk about writer's block they discuss it as a fait accompli...something that they're just destined to experience. It's part of being an author, or is it? While there are many reasons why a story or character may not flow onto the page as easily as we...
Thinking About Ergonomics
As writers we often spent a lot of time at our desks. If we spent that time with our body out of alignment (I know I find myself leaning forward and propping up my head on my elbow to read long articles), or typing with bad posture, that's going to reflect itself in...
Numinous Writing
In this episode I'm going to get a little esoteric, and maybe a little spiritual, and talk about "numinous writing". Otto coined the term numinous to refer to something sacred with otherworldly qualities, and I'm a firm believer that an author's act of creating...
Thoughts on Marketing
In this episode I finally give in and tell you what I really think about marketing. As a neurodivergent person, marketing can be incredibly difficult, and I'm not alone on this. It's something I hear from other neurodivergent people too. But marketing isn't just tough...
Who are you letting into your online “living room”?
Recently I heard an excellent analogy that our online social media profiles are like an online "living room". You wouldn't open the door and let just anyone into your physical living space, so why would you do it online? It made sense to me and reinforces what I've...
Mastodon for Authors
With the spectacular and foreseen implosion of Twitter over the past year or more, and corporate-owned social media making it more difficult for smaller creators to gain traction, not to mention followers, and engagement, where is an author to go in search of readers?...
