Whether you are a first-time writer or an experienced author who wants to reach a new audience or do a different kind of book than you have written before, I can help you meet your goals and complete your project. As a book creation coach, I specialize in non-fiction books and have worked on projects in such areas as (auto)biography, business, gender issues, history, literature, nutrition, personal growth, psychology, sexuality, social issues, and spirituality. I enjoy working in new fields. |

We work in stages. A strong book proposal, with a few sample chapters, can elicit a publishing contract together with an advance on future royalties. The next stage is fulfilling the promise of the book proposal and producing a publishable manuscript. |
| An introductory meeting or phone call is an opportunity for us to get acquainted and explore the kind of coaching that will benefit your project. If we want to work together, I will make a simple proposal saying what I will do and what it will cost. All of our work together can be accomplished by e-mail, fax, and phone. |
| When convenient, I enjoy meeting clients in person near the start of a project. My home base is now Ashland, in southern Oregon. I often travel to the San Francisco Bay Area, where I lived and worked for many years. Further afield, I've had clients in Seattle, Los Angeles, Santa Fe, Minneapolis, Boston, and London. |
