author + editor + teacher
I believe that writing is an act of bravery.
I've been helping novelists finish their books since co-founding the Madison Writer's Studio and leading my first Book in a Year workshop in 2013. Since then, I’ve supported hundreds of writers through the drafting process.
My online course and community, Write Your Novel, is the culmination of everything I’ve learned about starting, getting through, and finishing a novel.

work with me
An intense, high-level workshop for writers of all experience levels and genres. High-level feedback and focused attention. Meant for writers who can commit to reading as well as writing. Meets monthly live on Zoom.
This self-paced support program includes all of the mechanics and mindset advice for a stellar first draft, plus community forums, office hours with me, writing exercises, accountability check-ins, and more.
One-on-one feedback as you write or rewrite your novel or memoir, 30-40 pages at a time. Meant for writers who want personalized feedback and support but can’t commit to the requirements of the BIAY workshop.
