The Writer's Roadmap
1:1 Mentoring for Writers
Gain Clarity, Momentum, Guidance, and Support
The Writer's Roadmap offers focused support for writers, educators, interpreters, and creatives who want to move meaningful work forward.
Maybe you have a project underway, a collection of essays, a presentation to craft, or years of accumulated notes, drafts, and ideas that need structure and direction.
Wherever you are in the process, we'll assess the landscape of your work, identify the strongest threads, and create a realistic path for the next phase of development.
If you're stalled on a project or uncertain where to go next, 1:1 mentoring provides a level of personalized support that isn't possible in a group program. Everything is focused on your work, your goals, and your next steps.

“I have extensive experience writing academic articles and chapters, but very little opportunity for creative writing. I have not written this much—or this easily—in over 30 years.”
— Jeanne Stanley, Ph.D., Psychologist & Graduate School Consultant
How the Process Works
The Kickoff
We'll begin with a conversation about your project, where you are in the process, and what kind of support will be most useful.
Assessing the Writing Landscape
You'll bring whatever you're working with—drafts, notes, essays, research, fragments, or project ideas. Together we'll identify strengths, challenges, emerging themes, and opportunities for development.
Designing the Support Structure
We'll determine what type of feedback, accountability, structure, and guidance will best support your goals.
Creating a Roadmap
You'll leave with a clear plan for the next phase of your work, including priorities, milestones, and practical next steps.
“Through our VIP Session and the Roadmap, I have been able to take years of writing and shape it into a cohesive collection. Since starting with her, I have shared my work at literary festivals and been in several publications. Without her, I would still be circling. The clarity and momentum from our time together shifted everything.” — Julia Clebsch, Retired NPS Ranger, Writer, Naturalist
