“Hiring Heidi as a coach is exactly what I needed at this point in my career. I had successes but also acquired baggage and felt lost about my way forward. Heidi analyzed my brain dump of concerns, gave us set focal points, and knocked them out. Heidi is empathetic, kind, and encouraging and I walked away with tools I’m still using in my work. ”
I want you to feel energized and hopeful about your work—and I know it’s possible!
“This is all terrific, Heidi. I love it! Thanks for taking the time to wrap your head around where I’m at.”
“Thank you for your encouragement and feedback! Two months ago this was a very hazy idea that I had absolutely no confidence I could really achieve, and now I am truly so excited and anxious to make this story a real book!”
Coaching Includes
Generous emails
Expert guidance based on my 20 years of experience in publishing
A chance to work together one on one
Advice that’s customized to you and your career
The accountability you need
Total confidentiality
A cheerleader on your team for life
Why Email?
I write insightful, honest emails. The kind you want to save forever.
It’s a bit like journaling and actually getting helpful answers.
We won’t waste time on anything you don’t need.
The pace is perfect for reflection on my end and yours.
I know it can be easier to share your heart when you’re writing.
More personal than an MFA and more strategic than therapy, this experience combines creative growth, career planning, and personal development in a unique and powerful way.
Write a book that readers adore.
