I'm a Chicago-based book coach helping great women write great nonfiction & memoir. My writers are dynamic, confident women with a story to tell. I work with clients tackling all types of nonfiction and memoir from concept to completion. You have a right to your story. I can help you own it!

When I'm not coaching amazing writers, I put my PhD to good use as a Resident Historian with Viking Ocean.

In Chicago, you can find me with my two mutts, Emma and Boo, and my better half of 27 years (married 21), Steve, at our favorite restaurants and farmers markets.
