Online Courses

My passion is inspiring and motivating writers to follow their own unique path.

 

I love to help writers elevate themselves in their writing craft, embrace promotion, boost confidence, and learn how to set themselves up for lifelong author success.

​

I've taught hundreds of writers since 2013 at conferences, workshops, retreats, seminars, and school visits about writing craft and marketing -- and now reaching even more students with online courses.

“Expertly mixes genres, combining sci-fi with mystery, thriller and romance…a pulse-pounding read.”
—Allan Leverone, New York Times bestselling author 

In addition, I've written work-for-hire novels under fast deadlines and love to collaborate on revisions to make a project the best it can be. Prior to the pandemic, I regularly appeared as a guest author in-person at schools, and then with virtual visits. I've presented at multiple writer conferences and served as a traveling author presenter with the Chester County, PA, Young Writer's Monthly Program. I also I teach writers through my online Udemy courses.
