SBG Coaching Services
Ever since I was young, I’ve had the ability to see the best in people and their potential. This combined with years of experience as a professional writer and editor, always looking for new opportunities to nourish the writers I work with, has inspired me to become a writing coach.
This may be for you if:
You want to start your book
You’re having trouble finishing your book
You want to write in your authentic voice while pitching to media outlets or literary journals
You’re working on a creative project, but you need industry perspective and accountability.
I specialize in working with:
Individuals who write to heal themselves and others, that can be though talking about health and wellness or writing about your own journey mentally, physically & spiritually.
Everyone has their own unique voice. My aim is not to change my clients or their style, but to help them reach their potential with the support and guidance all writers deserve.
