Where stories and story ideas are nurtured

Ready to revise but not sure where to start?
Your first draft is done–all 100,000 words. Hurray! But now what? What’s the most effective, efficient approach for the revision?
Got an idea but can’t get it onto the page?
You have a great idea for a book, but no matter how many times you try, you can’t seem to get beyond the first chapter.

Who I am
I serve new writers of paranormal, horror, speculative fiction, and memoir because these genres can help us see the world/our lives through a special lens, throwing light on universal problems via unconventional approaches to storytelling. I help writers tell their stories—whether deeply imagined or based on their own truths (especially for memoir)—with compassion and guiding strategies, so that their voices can work to change the world for the better, one by one.
