Your plot isn’t the problem.

Your character just hasn’t told you the truth… yet.


I help writers uncover the emotional engines behind their characters, so the story finally moves.

This isn't writing coaching. It's Coaching the Character™.

I don’t edit your sentences or fix your plot.

I coach your characters like real people, uncovering the emotions, motivations, and beliefs that drive them (and sometimes derail them).

When your character makes emotional sense, the story starts moving forward, naturally.
