Hi, I’m Erin.
I’m a writer, developmental editor and book coach. I help writers dig deep into the emotional heart of their stories to solve the problems that are stopping them for getting to The End. I love stories for young people of all genres, characters on “who am I?” journeys, and stories that end on a note of hope.
Speaking of hope …
You have every reason to hope a finished manuscript that you are proud of is something you can accomplish,
Maybe it doesn’t feel that way right now.
Maybe you’ve written a handful of chapters but aren’t sure what happens next. Maybe you’re lost in the messy middle, tangled in plot lines and character arcs. Maybe you have a complete first draft but something doesn’t feel right.
I hear you.
What you need is perspective and a plan.
I can help.
Bringing a deep understanding of how stories are built. Providing the support and accountability to make those stories happen. Charting the path forward … that’s what book coaching is all about.
What I’m all about.
Remember - I’m a writer, too! I’ve been where you are. Writing a book is a long, lonely, scary road.
You don’t have to walk it alone.
“Erin’s ability to communicate complex ideas in simple way is among the many skills she brings to the table. She understood my book and what I wanted to do with it. She helped me zoom out and see my story objectively, cut away the excess, and let the best parts shine. Thanks to her, my manuscript is now ready to query.”
Where Are You In Your Writing Journey?
I’ve written some chapters but I don’t know where to go next.
I’m lost in the messy middle.
I’m worried the elements of my story aren’t adding up.
I’ve finished my manuscript but I know it still
needs a lot of work and I don’t know where to start.
I’ve been in revising mode for a while now but I feel like
I’m spinning in circles and not getting anywhere.
Something’s not working but I don’t know what or how to fix it.
I want someone to hold me accountable to, and on track with, my writing goals.
I want someone to help guide me through the process of drafting/revising my book.
I want someone to help me develop a solid writing practice
that leads to finished stories.
A finished manuscript doesn’t have to be a dream.
Turn it into reality.
