COACHING
Whether you are currently working on a project, want to start one, or simply crave time to explore your writing, I can help you structure your time, prioritize your ideas, and get your words onto the page. Together, we will create a plan with specific and realistic goals that work for you in your crazy life. I will support and encourage you and make sure you meet the goals you have set for yourself. Wouldn’t it feel great to know you are doing everything necessary to accomplish your dream? It’s possible! Let me hear from you.
A coaching session with Kathryn brought my writing to a level I thought I'd never acheive! She creates a safe space, asks focused questions, and actively listens to your response. She gave me a concrete way to move forward. Kathryn is very gifted and worth your time and investment.

EDITING
You’ve written and re-written, added and deleted, and have polished your words to the best of your ability…now, it’s time for another set of eyes. I can help you hone your ideas, organize your structure, tighten your writing, and sculpt your characters through the editing process. If your project would benefit from another perspective, I'm here to help you.
Working with Kathryn was the best investment I made this year. She was able to identify what was holding me back and guide me forward. Her gentle coaching and insightful editing elevated my work to another level. She's just what I was looking for!

MANUSCRIPT ASSESSMENT
If you are working on a longer project and need feedback, I offer a full manuscript analysis for writers who have completed the first draft of a book. Each manuscript analysis includes:
• A close reading of the manuscript.
• A written report with chapter-by-chapter notations, comments, and suggestions.
• A summary of the manuscript’s strengths and weaknesses, with suggested solutions for issues.
• 2 Private consultations.
Kathryn is a deft, gentle writing coach. I now read and listen differently with a much broader repertoire of writing techniques.
