Coaching and Consulting


​Freelance Coaching

From content writers to freelance journalists, I work with beginner and intermediate level freelancers looking to level up in their careers. If you find yourself struggling to craft the perfect pitch, wishing you knew how to find the right editor, or hoping to further develop your writing skills, I offer individual coaching to build your confidence.

Topics that clients have enjoyed in the past include: 
  • I’m not published yet. How do I get started?
  • What should be on my website or portfolio, and how do I make one?
  • I’m unsure about pitching. How can I get more confident?
  • Where should I pitch?
  • Let’s talk money: How much will I make?
  • My writing feels so personal. How do you share stuff that’s real with a wide audience?
  • How to become a better writer: five practices that help
  • Tricks of the trade: tracking emails, using spreadsheets, and organizing your business
  • Do I need an LLC? What about insurance?
  • What’s my niche? Finding who you are as a writer
  • Talk like a freelancer: let’s learn some lingo
  • Communicating with editors: tips to maximizing your time and impact

​Media Consulting

Are you a PR professional or publicist wondering how to make your pitches stronger, ideas more relevant to journalists, and your clients more relevant for better media opportunities? Learn how to land your clients in top publications by cutting through journalists' crowded inboxes. 

You will leave with: do's and don't for pitches that will actually get noticed in journalists' crowded inboxes, a better understanding of what's trending to journalists now, and concrete tips for building relationships with journalists that help your clients achieve their goals.​


​Education Consulting

I work with grades K-12 and college administrators, teachers, and curriculum developers to understand and integrate modern writing and media best practices into their lessons. Students aren't bored with writing--they are bored with writing that isn't relevant to the world they live in. Let's change that together.

Some example session topics include:
  • Real-world writing: Helping students learn the basics of copy, content, and journalistic writing for their future careers
  • Integrating journalism practices into the English classroom for improved test scores and writing passion from students
  • Beyond the blog: Helping students understand the endless jobs available "writing the internet" through copy and content, and marketing basics
