I work with neurodivergent writers from all over the world. And they're brilliant. They are novelists, journalists, scholars, and poets. They may be in the process of rediscovering their creative identities after taking time off to become parents. Or they may be working to take down half-trillion-dollar industries.
​
I have a special passion for helping my fellow autistic writers, and many of my clients fit that description – although by no means all.
It's a joy to see these writers doing what they have known for so long they needed to do.
​
Before I became a coach, I was a Certified Ghostwriter (a master's-level credential). That's where I learned to help writers convert that oh-so-slippery inspiration into marketable literary properties.
​
But even before that, I had years of experience as a freelancer and fiction writer, including a prestigious mentorship through AWP. My paid projects included blog posts, a superhero comic, and over 120 short stories for advanced English language learners – including one about a kid who finds an octopus at the beach and smuggles it home in a pickle jar.
​
I still spend every morning on my own writing projects. Currently, I'm hard at work on a novel, equipped with a grant from StoryStudio Chicago.
But after a year as a working book ghostwriter, I discovered that in addition to my own writing, I have another love: empowering other writers to create their best work.
At that point, there wasn't any stopping me. I developed a number of services designed for writers with widely varying creative methods:
​
-
Via my Signature Book Coaching Package, I provide intensive guidance as you follow your unique creative intelligence through to the completion of your manuscript;
-
"Lite" Coaching is a scaled-down service for independent writers, who may be working on book-length projects or simply exploring who they are creatively;
-
The Breakthrough Writers Workshop is a 5-week group coaching program designed to help autistic writers overcome their personal challenges (and it's so well-loved that the writers have requested a Level 2!);
-
Autistic Ink is a FREE community that welcomes all autistic writers, involving an ongoing WhatsApp chat and real-time virtual hangouts;
-
and I continue to offer a variety of editorial services.
​
As a member of the dis/ability community, I am committed to accommodating the needs of any and all writers, particularly those who need various forms of assistance to make communication effective.
​
It's time you made your dreams a reality.
​
Not sure yet? Set up a free meeting to find out if you're a good fit. If I can't help, I probably know someone who can.

I'm excited to hear about your writing!
