I believe it’s important to have a purpose. To be good at something. To use that something to help others.

Hi! I’m Nita.
I’ve always written, and even though I knew I’d write novels someday, it wasn’t until I was approaching retirement that “someday” finally arrived. I started taking creative writing courses, buying craft books, and reading all the writing blogs. Before I knew it, I was mired up to my eyebrows in baffling rules and contradictory advice. Talk about frustrating!
All I wanted was someone who could show me how all those craft concepts and terms actually work on the page.
Someone who wouldn’t just point out where I was going wrong and why, but who would celebrate my strengths as a writer, too. It would have been such a relief.
Can you relate?
As an Author Accelerator certified book coach, I have the training to help make that difference for you. I love helping writers get their stories out of their heads and onto the page in a way that grabs the reader and doesn’t let go.
Interested? Drop me a line and tell me what you need. I’d love to talk.
In both my personal and work life, I believe:
… in balance.
… in clarity, communication, creativity, compassion, curiosity, and kindness.
… in the scientific method.
… that hope is passive.
… that results require action.
… in the intrinsic right of all beings to love and be loved without question.
… in the intrinsic right of all beings to be treated with respect.
… that the climate crisis is real.
… that as a species, humans must make hard decisions, and that we won’t like it, we must accept the sacrifices and inconveniences required of those decisions in order to save our ecosystem and ourselves.
I am or have been:
…a light house keeper, knitter, quilter, musician, performing artist, administrative assistant, bellydance instructor, dance company leader, choreographer, band manager, child care worker, writer, novelist, and certified book coach.
