We can work by phone or in person!

Learn To Write Like Your Characters Really Exist
I created my Ten-Hour Personalized Program for students who want to learn the fiction writing techniques that will unleash their imagination and set free those characters we know are living inside us. These characters are just waiting to have their stories put down on the page, and doing this successfully is one of the greatest joys a fiction writer can have. This program shows you how.

How This Personalized Fiction Writing Program Works
You can use your ten one-hour sessions with me however you like. You may go a few weeks without a session, or we may talk every week, or we may talk on four consecutive days. Whichever way, this program weaves the techniques of fiction writing into a process that supports and inspires you throughout your daily life.
Successful writing happens not only when you're sitting down at your computer, but also when you're thinking about your characters and plot at any time during the day, even when you’re not actually writing.
The foundation of this program is that writing should be fun! The only time it isn’t is when you’re staring at the Blank Screen and nothing appears. This is likely to happen when you don’t know where to go next with your plot. One of my techniques, which I call "What If”, will almost always cure this dilemma.
But on a particular day, if it doesn’t, then don’t write. Go for a walk. Garden. Do yoga. Do whatever else you enjoy, and just think about your plot while you're doing it. Ideas will come to you !

This Is A Fiction Writing Program That Fits Your Lifestyle
Many of my students come to me because they once loved writing but haven’t written for years, or they’ve always dreamed of writing and are ready to start now.
Something they all have in common is the desire to weave writing into their lifestyle. This is something I’m very good at; you don’t have to write three hours a day to follow your passion or to make great strides in your writing.
Many of my students have just the idea for a story. Others have only a beginning. If this sounds like you, I’ve come up with a program that allows my students to fit their writing into their daily activities, whatever their schedule may be. Some write once a week, some write a few times a week, others write occasionally, but all are thinking about their story frequently. And when we work together, simply thinking about your story becomes a successful technique.

One Scene is All It Takes To Get Started On the Fiction Writer's Journey
The most common question new students ask is: How much do they need to have written before they call me?
One scene is all it takes; it can be as short as a page or as long as ten! See two great examples here!
