As an author and journalist for over thirty years, I’ve learned valuable lessons on the writer’s path that have proven helpful to others. Among other things, I can help writers:
Find their own rhythms and habits of writing.
Identify a connecting “golden thread” that runs through their work, and that helps to guide their writing process.
Work with their imagination, dreams, and fantasies as a source of nourishing inspiration.
Become comfortable with the chaos of anxiety, uncertainty, and loneliness that can attend the beginning - and duration - of any work.
Find spiritual practices and rituals that can help aid concentration, and provide support in moments of despair.
Formulate and hone in on an idea, shape an article query or book proposal, and help counsel writers through the arduous – and often humbling – submission process.
Learn the art of working with editors.
Provide editorial guidance on projects that are underway or completed.
Provide assistance on writing personal memoirs and family histories - which may, or may not, be for publication.
Creativity Consultant
My services as a writing consultant are also applicable to those in other fields or professions where connecting to creativity is a vital ingredient in providing a sense of personal fulfillment, meaning, and success.
