I help creative writers learn to improve your sentences, scenes and stories so you can build better books and publish with confidence.

Writing is an art and a craft—which means you can become an artisan.

Create With Care

As an artisan, you take the care, time and attention to create the best possible story.

Take Pride in Your Work

True success for an artisan writer is crafting a story you’re proud of, through and through.

A proud writing craft geek, I’ve taught writing craft online and in person since 2009. My online classes have served groups of over four hundred members, and I’ve taught at conferences from the United Authors Association to the Writing Gals to Storymakers and more. My classes are known for their actionable takeaways and deep knowledge and application of writing craft.

I’m the author of 1.6 MILLION published words in four nonfiction books on writing craft and more than thirty novels about love, lies, secrets and (sometimes) spies, writing under four names. I hold a Master of Fine Arts in writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts.

I started Craft Your Fiction to help other writers steer the sea of contradictory and confusing writing advice to find the route to level up your prose and storytelling skills—and your confidence.
