Whether you are writing short stories, writing a novel, memoir or just beginning to write fiction, my dual pronged method of teaching will support you on your writing journey. I am a novelist with a passion for teaching others how unleash their stories and put them down on the often unfriendly page. I've been writing fiction all my life and have been coaching others in private sessions and writing workshops for the past thirty years.

My two pronged method of coaching is simple: I teach you all the techniques necessary for writing fiction while supporting you in unleashing your creative passion. Creative passion is the magic ingredient and cannot be taught. You are born with it. For most of us, however, that deep passion which leads us to our true voices has been buried by life experiences. Reclaiming your creative passion is the most powerful part of the work we do together. For once you have claimed it fully, technique become easy.

I teach through private coaching and an array of writing workshops and TeleSeminars on writing fiction and the creative process. In addition to the offerings on The Fiction Writer’s Journey, visit Creative Soul Works, (see link above) which explores creativity as an inner journey.
