You Have a Story. Let's Find It.

I'm a book coach, developmental editor, and host of the Writer Unleashed podcast.

I've spent years working with first-time novelists and memoir writers who are sitting on a story they can't quite get onto the page. I know what it feels like to have something real to say and not be able to find the way in.

That's why everything I create for writers is practical, specific, and built for where you actually are — not where you think you should be.

This worksheet is the starting point I wish every writer had before they doubted their ability to write their story.

• The Core 7 — seven questions that show you exactly what your story needs and where the gaps are, with examples from published novels and memoirs so you can see what a strong answer looks like

​

• What's Stalling Your Story — a diagnostic that helps you identify whether you're stuck in the story, stuck in your own way, overwhelmed by the material, or just lost the thread

​

• What To Do Next — a specific, counterintuitive action for each category so you're not just diagnosed, you're moving
