General Coaching

Looking for guidance, brainstorming, or ongoing support? General Coaching gives you a dedicated space to think through your next steps with an experienced author and editor.

Is this service right for you?

At its core, General Coaching answers one simple question: Who do I talk to when I need guidance?

Whether you're navigating publishing decisions, brainstorming ideas, working through creative blocks, or simply want an experienced sounding board, these sessions are designed to provide guidance wherever you are in your writing journey.

Note: This is an open, client-led session—if you’re looking for focused, in-depth story analysis, the Story Strategy Session may be a better fit.

What authors say about us

“No problem slips through the cracks”

“Alexa goes by the title of editor, but I refer to her by something more apt: Magician. I send her a beta read draft with demographic info and a blurb, and she polishes it to a shiny gem and gives me the advice to form it into a precious product. Along with experience, she has the perspective of a reader, writer, editor, and socially aware person. When all of those are applied, no problem slips through the cracks. When she edits, she tries every possibility for you and not just whichever one she likes so you can make a choice. To top it all off, she types a 4000+ word critique and gives you an hour of video call to discuss the good, the bad, and the ugly. Since Alexa is also a fan of great work, you leave every interaction feeling like a quality writer with a clear set of paths to showing that in your writing—you need only to pick the trails you like most.”

Jared Griffin

Author of The Perpetual Circadian Rhythm drama and the Nightmare Judicator fantasy series
