My Musings

A Netgalley Member Professional Reader Badge

Disclaimers: Author Accelerator is on a mission to raise the bar on book coaching—to help book coaches run successful, sustainable businesses that help writers do their best work. They have trained and certified more than 300 book coaches (including me!) through their Book Coach Certification program. As a certified fiction book coach, I am authorized to use worksheets and other materials from them for user with my clients. Also, as an affiliate of Author Accelerator, I earn a small commission from book coaching certification fees purchased through my affiliate links at no additional cost to you.

All prices for coaching, editing, and other products listed on my website are in United States dollars (USD), and all clients can pay for services in equal installments if paying the total cost all at once is difficult or otherwise prohibitive. Also, please note that although money is my preferred currency due to capitalism’s hold on the world, I will also consider service trades or other means of bartering so long as what is being traded is of equal value.

Land Acknowledgement: As a resident of the County of Los Angeles and someone with Indigenous heritage, I recognize that I occupy land originally and still inhabited and cared for by the Tongva, Tataviam, Serrano, Kizh, and Chumash Peoples. I honor and pay respect to their elders and descendants—past, present, and emerging—as they continue their stewardship of these lands and waters. I acknowledge that settler colonization resulted in land seizure, disease, subjugation, slavery, relocation, broken promises, genocide, and multigenerational trauma. I am committed to elevating the stories, culture, and community of the original inhabitants of Los Angeles County, and grateful to have the opportunity to live and work on these ancestral lands.

Thank you, and I hope we can work together soon!
