Books are what started it.

But over the years, I’ve discovered that I love talking about books, writing, creativity, publishing, and all the strange and wonderful things that happen when we decide to actually do something with the ideas in our heads.

So, yes—I write books.

But I also speak, teach, and help other people bring their ideas to life.

Bring Me In to Speak

I speak to writers, organizations, conferences, community groups, and anyone who enjoys a good conversation about creativity, storytelling, books, and the wonderfully messy business of being human.

My talks can be funny, practical, thought-provoking—or some combination of all three.

Depending on the audience and the occasion, I speak about topics such as:

Writing & Creativity — getting the ideas out of your head and onto the page
From Idea to Book — what actually happens between “I should write a book” and a finished manuscript
The Messy Middle — staying motivated when the initial excitement wears off
Writing Your Story — finding the story that only you can tell
Women, Friendship & Community — why accepting our individuality can actually bring us closer together
Finding Joy in the Chaos — because sometimes laughing is the only reasonable response to life

I also offer workshops and interactive sessions for groups who want to do more than sit and listen.

Interested in having me speak to your group or organization?

From Idea to Page

You’ve got a book idea.

Maybe you’ve had it for years. Maybe you have 47 pages of notes, three different opening chapters, and absolutely no idea what comes next.

Or maybe you simply don’t know where to begin.

I’ve been helping people figure out the book-writing process for years, and I’ve developed courses and group coaching experiences designed to give writers something they desperately need: a method and a plan.

My programs help writers clarify their ideas, understand their readers, structure their books, develop a workable writing process, and keep moving toward a finished manuscript.

From Idea to Page: Book Writing Accelerator

An 8-week group coaching experience designed to help writers move from idea to a clear, structured plan for writing their book.

We’ll work on the things that tend to stop writers before they ever get to “The End”:

Clarifying the book’s core premise and ideal reader
Figuring out what belongs in the book—and what doesn’t
Building the overall book and chapter structure
Developing a writing process that works for you
Creating a realistic writing calendar
Understanding where AI can—and shouldn’t—fit into the process
Exploring your publishing options

Need More Hands-On Help?

Sometimes you don’t need a course.

You need someone to sit down with you and help you make the damn book happen.

I also work professionally as a ghostwriter, editor, and publishing consultant.

That work has its own home at TASFIL, where I work with authors, organizations, and companies on books and storytelling projects.

Not Sure Where You Belong?

That’s okay.

If you’re wondering whether I’m the right speaker for your group, whether one of my courses is right for you, or whether you need professional help with a book project, send me a note.

Tell me what you’re trying to accomplish.

We’ll figure out the next step from there.
