As a top-level magazine editor, successful freelance writer, and best-selling author who loves mentoring and sharing knowledge, I’m in a unique position to help you reach your goals.
Interested in learning, one-on-one, what it takes to start or finish a manuscript, blast through writer’s block, find an agent, or sell your manuscript? As a New York Times-bestselling novelist with five six-figure book deals under my belt, I’m here to help you navigate traditional publishing and crush your writing goals. I’ll share everything I know about writing a novel that sells and making smart decisions about your career. (Please note that I don’t offer developmental editing, and I’m not a great resource for non-fiction or self-publishing.)
If you’d like to jumpstart a career as a freelance writer or learn how to sell your ideas to major outlets, I also offer consulting on pitching and working with the media. As a senior editor at Glamour, Fit Pregnancy, Psychology Today, and more, I fielded hundreds of pitches and know what catches the media’s eye. And as a freelance writer, I’ve placed lifestyle articles in Cosmopolitan, USA Today, The Cut, Vogue, Marie Claire, Harpers Bazaar, The Wall Street Journal, Travel + Leisure, and more. I love coaching PR firms, brands, and individuals on how to tie in essays/op-eds to whatever they’re selling. If you’d like to learn directly from an established journalist, I’m here to help.
Merging the two, I offer personalized help for authors looking to forge their own PR strategy and successfully pitch book-related essays and op-eds to the media. I also lead seminars for book publicists and work with small groups of debut authors; if you can dream it, we can probably do it!
