BOOK COACH   

Hi, I’m Anne—an Author Accelerator certified book coach (fiction) and author—here to help aspiring novelists bring their stories to life.

I believe storytelling isn’t just for the chosen few—it’s for anyone willing to explore their creativity and commit to the process.

As a certified fiction book coach, I can help you go from an uncertain dreamer to a confident writer with a story readers will love.

Through personalized coaching, deep feedback, and a process tailored to you, I’ll guide you through every stage—brainstorming, plotting, writing, and revising.

Your story matters. Let’s bring it to life.

While I write women’s fiction (mysteries and soon fantasy), I coach writers across a variety of fiction genres, including mystery, thriller, romance, fantasy, and more.
