Work With Sarah!
I believe that you have what it takes to complete your next writing project!
Writing a book can feel like a daunting challenge. You might not know where to begin. Perhaps you feel overwhelmed by the entire process.
I am here to help.
As a Hope*Writers Certified Coach, I help aspiring authors go from overwhelmed to ready to write through one-on-one coaching.
As my client, I will teach you…
#1: How to overcome writing obstacles
#2: How to set realistic and obtainable goals
#3: How to balance writing with real-world obligations
#4: How to determine your own values and stick to them
#5: How to establish a writing routine that serves both you and your family
Sarah has such a calming presence, she really helped me to slow down and look at what was holding me back, and how I could make improvements to my daily schedule (not just for writing).

You are the expert. I am the guide.
I am not the sage on the stage. I am your guide at your side. Through coaching, we work together to determine an actionable plan that will help you get unstuck and overcome any obstacles that are getting in the way of your writing.
I was so happy with the progress I made in the weeks that I worked with Sarah. I took a break at the end of the year, but I’m planning to hire her again so I can get back to working on my book.

My Personal Writing Journey
Hiring a writing coach made a difference for me.
I wanted to write a book since I was in elementary school.
Yet, despite holding onto that dream for years, I never seemed to be able to get from dream to done.
As a stay-at-home mom of four kids (one with special needs), my days were jam-packed and it was really challenging to make time for writing.
I struggled with mom-guilt. I wrestled with feelings of overwhelm.
I felt like God had gifted me with a passion and talent for writing, but I just couldn’t figure out how to make it work.
After meeting with a writing coach, I was able to work out a routine and system that worked for my unique situation and the accountability helped to keep me on track.
Within twelve months, my children’s book was finished and available for purchase.
What made the difference?
Taking the time to sit down with another author who understood the unique challenges that writers face.
She was willing to ask me the hard questions that got me thinking about my goals and priorities.
I left those sessions with a plan in place that felt achievable.
That’s the difference that coaching can make.
I want to do the same for you!
Sarah did a great job listening to my writing challenges and untangling the many thoughts that I had been laboring over. Her patient ear and well-aimed questions helped me gain clarity and make forward progress on my project.

My coaching follows a simple six-step process where I’ll help you establish clarity on your problem and develop an actionable plan to help you accomplish your writing goals.
As a certified hope*writers coach, I have the training and experience to help you on your writing journey.
I’m looking forward to working alongside you to get your words out into the world!
What Coaching is NOT:
- Editing: Rather than focusing on the words you’ve already written, in our sessions together, we will work to develop an actionable plan that enables you to make progress on your writing goals. While I do not currently offer editing services, I am happy to refer you to vetted professionals if that would be helpful to you.
- Consulting: There are hundreds of experts on the internet willing to tell you what to do. What I offer is a partnership in developing a customized plan that empowers you to tap into your own inner wisdom and resources as you create an action plan that will work best for your unique situation.
- Teaching: You may find that you are the one doing a lot of talking during a coaching session. My job as a coach is to listen and ask the important questions in order to get you thinking through the obstacles currently holding you back from the progress you deeply desire. While I may point you toward helpful resources, my ultimate goal is to empower you to find the answers you need so that even after our time together is finished, you have developed skills that will continue to serve you in your creative life.
