What is your story?

 

 

Like a sports or business coach, a writing coach will help you discover your authentic voice and tell your story.  Do you have a book in you?  As your coach I will help you birth your book and get it out into the world.

Welcome, I look forward to hearing your story!

The Sierra Poetry Festival

book cover for Take Up Space 
Take Up Space is a spirited guide to living creatively — not later, but now. Whether you paint, sing, sculpt, write, design, or dance, your artistic expression is how you stay vibrant, connected, and alive.
Make this decade yours. Pick up a brush, a pen, or a red hat — and take up space.
 

Poetry Crawl in Nevada City. March 28th

No logo yet, but watch for an afternoon of connecting with poets and their work in small intimate settings!
