What is your dream and then what is your need? Wanting something published doesn’t always mean you have to write it yourself. But, if that is part of your dream, writing process coaching is available along with ghostwriting.

“You forgot to mention that you are an AMAZING editor. I love that I trusted my manuscript to you and you polished it beautifully. Every Writer’s Retreat I’ve attended that you hosted has given me a boost in creativity and new perspectives. Thank you for being you. ~ Cheryl K.
“This is really just about the most beautifully done piece for CW Journal we’ve ever received. It is so beautifully, expertly, compassionately, intelligently, and brilliantly woven…you’ve taken her lifelong journey and woven it into her work, her purpose. What could have been a still fascinating ‘interview’ has been turned into a wonderful and exceptional narrative/interview. it is just remarkable. I had to write this to you right after reading it, while it still is shining brightly in my consciousness. Thank you!!! ~Bill Z.
