Writing Coach
Stories Worth Telling
A writing coach helps you stay focused and inspired as you move through the ups and downs of the creative process. Like dating, finding the right coach to help you with your project is vital.
I hired a story editor/coach.
I ended up with a life friend and a published novel.

Nurturing Your Creative Voice
Individual Sessions designed with you in mind. Do you want to learn the craft of writing? Is it important to be accountable to someone else to complete a project? Do you have a dream to write a book? Would you like feedback from a writing professional on a completed book-length project?
If any of these questions fit your need, then let’s work together. Tell me your story and we can design a package that best suits you work, life, and budget. We can meet as often as you would like, designed around your schedule.
Writing Sessions

Six in Six
Designed for the writer who needs the motivation to start. We meet once a week for six weeks and jump start your writing.
Book Coaching
Designed with the individual with a start to a book. You drive the conversation, and I offer questions and suggestions to bring the issues into focus and cut a path forward. We discuss craft issues, story development, outline to written text.
Packages
Book-length manuscript assessments and developmental editing packages. Assessments entail a close read of the first 50 pages of a manuscript with generalized feedback on premise and possibilities. Developmental editing entails a close read of the entire manuscript with detailed discussion of strengths and challenges within the work.
Thanks to Tina, I learned to trust the truth revealed in my composition, and to objectively self-edit to improve its quality.
- Paul, poet in Washington State
“ Tina's guidance was crucial in clarifying my goals and developing a plan grounded in realistic aspirations.
I acquired vital writing and organizational skills that were previously absent from my skill set. This learning journey culminated in the successful completion of a project that exceeded all my expectations in a mere 18 months. Collaborating with Tina has been a transformative experience, and I look forward to continuing this journey with her on future projects. The caliber of mentorship she provides as a writing coach is outstanding.”
- Kelly Richey, musician, nonfiction writer
“ Writing about a horrific marriage of seventeen years required thoughtful, non-judgmental feedback that only another experienced writer like Tina offers. I never thought, it possible to write it all down and yet with her suggestions and encouragement I’ve completed a rough draft!”
- Patricia Miller, memoirist
