Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach
Michaela helps writers of fiction, nonfiction, and memoir bring their stories to life. With compassion and clarity, she guides writers from idea to completion—refining voice, structure, and purpose so they can finish their books and share them with confidence and authenticity.
You need guidance to craft the story you want to tell? Together we dig deeper and find what matters to you. We’ll use the tools that are right for you to captivate the reader you want to reach.
From Idea to Publishing
From idea to published story, the writing life takes you on an adventure like no other. On such a mysterious journey full of surprises, challenges, and rewards, you sometimes need a joyful companion to get you through. Someone like Donkey in Shrek.
Women are itching to reclaim their story as they overcome suppressive circumstances in their upbringing or as they raise their own families. More and more women show us how they’ve changed their lives through their process of writing. Are you one of them?
From Structure to Scene
From Revision to Finding an Agent
We need stories that aim for social and environmental justice. Stories that deepen our understanding of current structures of injustice. Do you have a story that offers a solution on a personal level? A story that inspires a way out of suppression?
Are you ready to tell your story?
Have you written for years and wonder when it’ll ever be finished? Don’t allow others to stifle your voice. The most powerful stories are the ones we’re cautioned not to tell. What’s that story you’re hiding deep in your desk that is itching to come out into the world? Michaela will help you write your story.
With her curious mind and zest for story Michaela has been spinning her yarn for over twenty years. Now she offers her expertise to writers who want to move forward with their story.
