Want to be the author of a nonfiction book that shakes things up and shifts what’s possible for you and your readers? I’ll help.
Hi! Catherine, here….
Experts, founders, and purpose-driven professionals work with me to share their insight, thought-leadership and unique brand of brilliance with a book.
I do that by helping them see the biggest vision for their book. It’s one of my superpowers, actually. The other is getting your book out of your head and into the readers’ hands.
I’m a Certified Story Grid Editor, Author Accelerator Book Coach, seasoned content strategist and a former copy director for a major American designer. Why this matters: My clients have the advantage of my potent-mix of real-world experience, marketing expertise and creative chops on their side.
Your best book starts with the right strategy. I’ll help you see the book that delivers the ROI you need now and how to make it real. Learn more.
Like having a career coach who’s also your editor, marketing director, content strategist and brand consultant. Learn more.
More than a ghostwriter, consider me your thought-partner to write a book you’ll be proud of. Reach out to see if we’re a fit.
Break from decision overwhelm and analysis-paralysis. Get the help + insight you need to take your draft to the next level.
Working with me gives you access to The Story Grid Diagnostic and The Author Accelerator Outcome Outline–two powerful tools to see your manuscript’s potential and how to take it there.

The best time to work with a book coach is before you start writing. Doing the hard work of thinking about what to write before saves you time and wasted effort spent writing in circles as you figure things out on the fly. Clarity paves the way for confidence and a sustainable writing practice, two key elements for publishing success.
The Story Grid is an editing method created by Shawn Coyne, and editor with 25+ years of editing experience in “Big 5” publishing houses. Being a Certified Story Grid Editor means that I was personally trained by Shawn Coyne on how to use this method to help writers improve their manuscripts, write better scenes, and tell stories that work. Learn more about The Story Grid method and how can help you.
Being a Certified Author Accelerator Book Coach means that I was personally trained by Jennie Nash and completed her robust training to deploy her strategies to help nonfiction authors write, revise, pitch and publish their book. That means I can help you:
Note: As a book coach certified by Author Accelerator, I am qualified to coach writers using Author Accelerator’s strategy, methods, and materials but I operate independently of Author Accelerator and am not affiliated with them.
No. But, I’m trained to coach memoir and love helping nonfiction authors use personal storytelling to connect with readers and bring their books to life. I can recommend a few great memoir coaches, so don’t hesitate to email me if you’d like my list of trusted colleagues who can help you.
Coming soon!
Developmental editor, book coach, thought-partner and ghostwriter to experts, entrepreneurs and have-what-it-takes humans who want to share more of the good they do with a book.
