Story Consultant • Editor • Writing & Publishing Coach

WHY WORK WITH ME?

 

Story matters. But in today’s landscape, story alone isn’t enough.

​

Over the past twenty years, I’ve worked at every level of the storytelling ecosystem—as a development executive, studio reader, creative executive, writing coach, and now as an independently published author building and launching my own books.

​

I’ve analyzed thousands of scripts and manuscripts. I’ve written coverage for studio heads, crafted film treatments for directors, provided draft notes to screenwriters, and served as Creative Executive at Walden Media on a slate of $10M–$50M films. I’ve shaped novels from early concept through final draft. I understand what earns a PASS, what earns a CONSIDER, and what earns a RECOMMEND.

​

But I also understand what happens after the draft.

​

Designing covers. Hiring illustrators. Formatting interiors. Building author platforms. Producing audiobooks. Running giveaways. Structuring launches. Modeling pricing. Navigating distribution. Testing ads. Learning what works—and what quietly drains time and money.

​

I bring both lenses: the creative rigor of studio development and the strategic execution of independent publishing.

​

Many consultants offer notes. Many coaches offer encouragement. I offer clarity, craft, and commercial strategy—tailored to where you are and where you want to go. Whether you’re strengthening a manuscript or preparing to launch a book into the world, my goal is the same: to help you work smarter, move intentionally, and build something that lasts.

​

Good writers work hard.
Great writers build intelligently.

Which are you ready to be?
