“[nancy’s] guidance aligns with…the intention of my work and my goals. She’s candid, kind, and truly roots for you.

She’s absolutely someone you want to have in your corner.”

—Monika Gupta, Reeses’s Book Club LitUp Fellow

book coach — developmental editing + marketing

Writing can be lonely but finding and creating relationships with your audience does not have to be accomplished alone.

I collaborate with writers at all stages.

I’m available for developmental editing and coaching via zoom or email. I can help move your novel or non-fiction from the privacy of your laptop into the hands and hearts of readers. I work with you to identify and think through your plot, structure, and character problems. I love helping people get “unstuck” and excited about their writing again.

Do you have a publisher already? I can develop creative and original ideas to market your book via events and merch, nurturing a long-term vision for your storytelling career.

I teach creative writing at the University of San Francisco and St. Mary’s College in California and mentor in the Reese’s Book Club LitUp program. I am also working on my third and fourth books.

My approach is encouraging, intuitive yet specific and practical. Let me know about your project via the contact form if you’re interested.
