Welcome to BookCoachMagick Literary Coaching Services! 

     As an experienced memoirist, short story writer, poet, essayist, journalist and former English professor, I am equipped to jump in and address your writing project with an eagle eye and an open heart. Whatever stage you are at-- from a simple idea to a fully developed manuscript-- I am prepared  to offer gentle and encouraging, one-on-one coaching services, with suggestions, annotated manuscript commentary, editorial letters, discussions, and a personalized touch... from a one-time assessment to bi-weekly or monthly meetings-- your call. 

 

Whether you are working to establish voice, build

story structures, create  believable characters or set-

tings or strengthen a story arc, I will guide and

support you all the way. My client testimonies speak

to my skill in getting to the heart of whatever you are

struggling with, at any stage of the game.
