I help romance novelists write unputdownable books
I believe…
Romance is given a bad rap
Writing romance is thought by many to be easy, but in fact, it is the hardest of genres to write.
Not only do you have to have engaging characters and a plot that pulls the right readers in, you have to master the delicate dance between the internal arc of your protagonist and the external conflicts that pull your story forward.
Book coaching allows you to dive into these nuances so you can finish your unputdownable novel.
an unputdownable book begins and ends with your character arcs
No matter if you are writing a small-town romance or an intricate romantasy, your story is ultimately about the specific struggles of your characters.
Refining your protagonist’s goals and conflicts to reflect both their internal and external struggles will fortify your story—and make your novel stand out among the masses.
book coaching turns a good book into a great one
With record number of books being published, what separates a good premise from a great story is the ability to pull your readers in and have them devour your novel.
Practicing these skills one-on-one with an editor is a priceless experience in gaining the expertise it takes to stand out in a crowded market.
book Coaching is more than editing. it’s guiding you to the finish line.

What I love in Romance
I love a good romance. That’s my only requirement when I read. I want it to grip me from the first page and steal me away from my crazy life to live an even crazier one.
My goal as a book coach is to help romance novelists write gripping books that keep their readers up all night.
I love to work on and read nearly all subgenres of romance. I love thrillers and cozies. I love a workplace alpha boss as much as a blue alien, or even better, an alien alpha boss who’s running from their omega mate.xI have worked on MM, MF, and MFM books and have read beyond.
I am not a very sensitive reader and can handle most triggers. And happy to talk through this with you!
My only focus is to get your characters to shine on the page and tell their stories in a way that will pull your readers in.
If you have any questions for me, I’m happy to answer them!
