A steady partner in your publishing life
For seasoned storytellers and creative entrepreneurs, publishing isn’t just about consistency — it’s about resonance. You know you have more to say, but pressing “send” doesn’t feel like it used to.
Maybe you’re holding back your fullest voice because you worry about alienating readers. Maybe your newsletter feels stalled, or you’re at a business or creative pivot point and don’t know how to move forward without losing yourself.
This is where I come in.
Each month I work as a publishing companion to help you trust your voice again, expand your creative horizons and grow an audience that’s ready to hear from the real you.
What You’ll Walk Away With
If you invest in this container for 3–6 months, you’ll walk away with:
A publishing rhythm you can sustain — not just consistency for its own sake, but a cadence that fits your life and builds trust with your audience.
A voice-centered publishing strategy that moves people to action — messaging and essays that resonate deeply and create the change you want your work to make.
A stronger foundation for monetization — nurturing and strengthening the plan you already have by aligning it with your real voice, your audience’s signals, and your actual energy reserves.
A deeper understanding of your audience — who they are, what compels them to stay and how to grow relationships that last.
Decision-making muscles you can trust — the ability to return to your own inner wisdom whenever you face “publish or not?” moments.
A sense that your horizons have broadened beyond what you imagined — discovering resonance, power and potential in your voice you didn’t know was there.
Clarity on how your newsletter publishing intersects with your other storytelling and business aspirations, so your audience growth online supports your broader creative and entrepreneurial work.

15+ years in editorial & digital — from small presses to digital marketing to Substack, I’ve worked across the spectrum of publishing.
Trusted by top Substack publications — I’ve helped leading newsletters grow through data-informed messaging and voice-centered strategy.
Certified meditation instructor — bringing somatic tools into the process so you can write and publish from a grounded place.
Creative entrepreneur myself — I know the risks of building a business through storytelling because I’ve lived them.
What’s Included:
This is more than calls and comments — it’s a steady relationship with a strategist who walks beside you.
Two 60-minute 1:1 coaching calls each month on Google Meet — a space to untangle strategy, voice and creative direction.
Light feedback on up to three essays or newsletter drafts per month — in-document comments to strengthen clarity, flow and resonance.
Relational, intuitive guidance — bringing your voice and presence back to center stage.
And when it’s useful, I’ll bring in tools from my publishing and coaching toolkit:
Audience persona templates
Creative publishing systems
Somatic signaling sessions to unlock mental tangles
Data audits and audience insights
Headline and messaging refinements that move people to act
Every client gets a unique mix of tools depending on where we start.
How It Works
Our process is organic, but it always begins with your story.
I’ll learn about your relationship to your business, your profits and losses, your relationships and your publishing — whether that’s newsletters, essays, books or email marketing.
From there, we’ll walk together through your publishing process. I’ll listen closely to your ideas, your drafts and your rhythms, asking:
Where is your voice strongest?
Where is it hiding?
And how can we bring it forward with presence and authority?
I work with responsiveness and presence, not formulas. And when needed, I’ll bring out my editor’s pen — making sure your headlines, structure and flow are worth your audience’s time and attention.
Who This Is For
My work as a publishing companion is built for creative entrepreneurs whose businesses flourish inside and rely on storytelling and authentic audience relationships — people who already have traction in their work but feel stuck in their publishing.
I work best with seasoned creators who’ve tried other approaches and are ready for a mix of:
Creative acceleration — unlocking your fullest voice.
Strategic traction — getting unstuck and moving your audience to action.
Authentic presence — building trust as you publish in rhythm with your business and life.
