‘Who am I
to think
I can write?’

 

I can’t spell
I have no time
I’m not creative
I’ve never done this
I’m not well educated
I have a litigious family
I have ADHD/CPTSD/Dyslexia

You can write. Your story is worth sharing.

I’ve worked with tens of storytellers in support groups, in one-on-one mentoring situations, in long edits, in workshops, as a ghostwriter and as a translator. I am a published writer myself. I know the many ways in which we doubt ourselves.

Yet books are published weekly by people who thought they couldn’t do it. The secret is not starting. The secret is finishing.

I’ll help you get your project to completion.
