Good writing is good writing.

For the most part, good writing comes from understanding the fundamentals. Once you know the basics, it’s just a matter of tailoring your writing for your purpose and audience.

I create customized courses that help transform you and your team into the writers you want to be.

Whether you need to hone your rhetorical skills through one-to-one feedback, teach content writers the basics of storytelling, or train a team of copywriters to create snappy, persuasive content, I’ll deliver a comprehensive, lively training that engages participants. I use my enthusiasm and deep subject-matter expertise to make sure the information learned sticks with them after the course has finished.

I’m passionate about teaching people how to write. With a background in teaching secondary education, directing writing centers, coaching C-suite professionals, and delivering business trainings, I’ll design a customized course that meets your specific needs—no matter what those needs are.
