1:1 Creative Writing Strategy · 60 minutes on Zoom
Bring me the story idea, the messy outline, the character that refuses to cooperate, or the writing routine you cannot seem to stick to. We’ll spend one focused hour turning the noise in your head into decisions, direction, and a practical action plan.
The problem isn’t a lack of information
Writing advice is everywhere. So are templates, podcasts, craft books, AI answers and other people’s opinions.
But when it’s your story, generic advice only gets you so far. At some point you need someone who can listen to the actual problem, ask the right question, and help you make a decision.
Meet your writing coach
I’m a Creative Writing Coach, writer and actress, trained in screenwriting, playwriting and storytelling across UCLA, La Sorbonne, CUNY and a Master’s in Cinema & Television.
I’ve second-guessed characters, scenes, ideas and entire projects too. Which is exactly why our call isn’t about giving you a motivational speech and sending you back to the same confusion.
We use the hour to get specific. We identify the real block, make choices, test solutions, and turn the conversation into a next-step plan you can actually follow.
Nothing has to be perfectly formed before you book
The Power Call is intentionally flexible. We can spend the full hour going deep on one problem, or work through a short list of connected questions.

What you get
A private Zoom call dedicated entirely to your writing questions and goals.
Your pre-call questionnaire gives me context before we meet, so we can use the hour well.
Personalized notes after the session, with the next steps we identified together.
Revisit the conversation later instead of trying to remember every useful thing we said.
