Writing coach for accomplished women who are done waiting.
You have a book inside you. You've known it for years. Maybe you have pages tucked away somewhere — a manuscript you open occasionally, a story you've been telling yourself you'll get back to when things settle down.
Things aren't going to settle down. And your story isn't going to write itself.
MacGuffin House works with accomplished women who are ready to stop being someone who almost wrote a book — and become an author whose work other people actually read. We offer writing coaching that takes both the psychology and the craft seriously, because the blocks that keep talented women from finishing their books aren't just technical. They're deeper than that.
This is for you if:
* You've started — and stopped — more than once.
* You're not a beginner.
* You're a recovering goal-getter with a manuscript in your desk drawer.
* You're ready to stop asking for permission to call yourself a writer.
The approach
Most writing coaches hand you a system; I start with you. I listen to your dreams, goals, challenges, and realities to customize coaching that fits what your unique needs. This isn’t a “one size fits all” to book coaching.
We’ll talk about your manuscript, where it's stalled, what you've already tried, and how you actually work — because a woman who thrives on structure and accountability needs a completely different plan than a writer who thrives on spontaneity. My job is to help you find the best practices that work for you.
What I won't do is pretend your life doesn't exist. If you're the glue for everyone else, struggling with being neurospicy, or just trying to carve out space to write, we work with those constraints — not against them.
Boundaries aren't the enemy of creativity - they're creative pressure. We build your plan around your real life, not an imaginary one where you have four uninterrupted hours every morning.
And here's where I'm different from most writing coaches: I'm not just interested in getting your book done. I'm interested in you becoming an author.
That means we work on the mindset blocks alongside the craft. It means we talk about publishing when you're ready, and marketing that doesn't make you want to disappear, and finding the community that makes you feel like a writer instead of a fraud. Being an author isn't a series of separate problems. It's one experience. You deserve support for all of it.
