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.

Michaela's clear, insightful, and thoughtful feedback brought me back to the core of why I was writing my story and helped me clarify the heart of what I wanted to convey to the reader.

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?

Michaela’s astute feedback on the query pitch package for my novel helped me to drastically revise it, resulting in a much stronger and more interesting query. She also found great agents for me to query that had not been on my radar. I wholeheartedly recommend Michaela as a book coach for authors looking to take their work to another level.

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. 

Mit ihrer Neugierde und ihrer Begeisterung für Geschichten spinnt Michaela seit über zwanzig Jahren ihr Garn. Jetzt bietet sie ihr Kenntnisse und Erfahrungen Autoren an, die ihren Schreibstil verfeinern und ihre Geschichten vorantreiben möchten.

Michaela worked with me at the planning stages for a new novel, showing a thorough understanding and genuine care for the direction my narrative was taking. Her thoughtful comments and insightful questions led me to develop a much stronger plan. As a kind and supportive book coach, she sees to the heart of the story. I highly recommend Michaela’s book coaching services.
