Resources for writers
on the spiritual path
Welcome to a world of writing resources designed to support your inspiration and make your dream project a reality.
Every writer hits roadblocks—whether it's lack of time, a story that seems to be going nowhere, or fear of the blank page. When we add in balancing a spiritual practice, ethical conduct, and an intention to benefit others, things may seem quite complicated. That’s where I can step in to help you transform your project from a frustrating mess into a clear, compelling manuscript.
As a coach, I provide guidance that’s tailored to your goals, helping you sharpen your ideas and maintain consistent progress. I will hold you accountable, provide expert feedback, and push your creativity while keeping your vision front and center. I will also help you avoid costly mistakes, speed up your timeline, and increase your confidence.
As a longtime Buddhist practitioner, I know the tension that can arise between our artistic vision and our spiritual ideals. You don’t have to navigate the creative journey alone; a coach is a valuable partner in bringing your ideas to fruition.

Choose your path
Find and refine your voice
Wake up to your world, your obsessions,
and your message with a mindful writing practice inspired by Zen teacher Natalie Goldberg and her classic writing manual Writing Down the Bones. Join a community
of writers with free weekly write-ins and meditations.
Intro to Writing Practice | $50
This 45-minute, 1-on-1 introduction is required to attend the free sessions.
Includes an explanation of the practice,
a short practice session, and time for questions.
Writing Practice Sessions | Free
Sessions are 2 hours. They begin with a
30-minute writing practice. The rest of the time is spent working on our own projects
in quiet community. Times and days are determined by the community as much as possible, usually twice a week, with one early weekday and one weeknight. Members also have access to the writing practice group’s Google group.
Plan your dream book
Step into the heart of storytelling with Author Accelerator’s flagship book-planning tool Blueprint for a Book. You can choose to do the full blueprint or the mini-blueprint. While there are many ways to write a book, the method of inquiry offered by Author Accelerator’s Blueprint for a Book is my favorite.
Mini-Blueprint | $300
Ideal for new book ideas, this service includes an in-depth analysis of your 1-page mini-blueprint, a method of inquiry that helps you articulate your story’s core elements. An editorial letter with recommended next steps and a 1-hour coaching call to talk about it all is also included.
Mini-Blueprint + 50 First Pages | $500
This service is designed for the writer with
a finished or almost finished manuscript who would like a professional editor to evaluate what’s working and what still needs work in their story and writing. Includes an in-depth analysis of both the mini-blueprint and their manuscript’s 50 first pages, an editorial letter with recommended next steps, and a 1-hour coaching call to talk about it all.
Blueprint | $800 or $200/month
for 4 months
We break down the 17-step Blueprint for
a Book into 4 sections and complete it over the course of 4 months. You may choose
to have weekly or monthly deadlines. Whichever you choose, you will receive
an analysis of each step and 1 coaching
call each month. At the end, you’ll have
a map of your entire book, a deeper understanding of how story works,
and the confidence to write to book of
your dreams.
Write a happy ending
Settle into the writer’s life with ongoing
1-on-1 coaching tailored to your unique manuscript and writing goals. Together
we will refine your book’s message, structure, pacing, and style. This support accelerates your progress, turning your book from a rough draft into a polished, publishable work while building your confidence as a writer.
1-on-1 Coaching | $500/month
Stay on track with your choice of biweekly (every other week) or monthly deadlines. Receive comments on 40 pages (12,000 words) a month, plus a 1-hour coaching
call each month and unlimited emails and texts for mindset coaching and questions. Receive a $500 credit for a mini-blueprint or full blueprint with a 3-month commitment.
My Story
I was frustrated by both my own experience writing a paranormal romance and by seeing many self-published books fail to meet their potential because the authors rushed to publish without any support to make their work market-ready. When I heard Jennie Nash from Author Accelerator talk about book coaching on a writing podcast, I knew she had hit on exactly what authors need to succeed in the modern publishing landscape.
By combining a Buddhist-inspired writing practice with Author Accelerator’s wise insights into story structure and the book market, my coaching provides a path for people who seek a joyful and sustainable writing life.
I’ve worked in publishing for more than 20 years. I’ve been an editor for a computer magazine publisher, a sporting goods company, a daily newspaper, a state university, and a twelve-step program. I also taught high school journalism and started a student newspaper and a novel-writing club with National Novel Writing Month.
In addition to books and Buddhism, I also love bicycles! I was selected to be a member of the 2026 All Bodies on Bikes Gravel Team and can be found riding around the Pacific Northwest rain or shine.
