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.
