Writing Coach

Working with you, one-on-one

No matter how much you love to write, or how successful or respected you are in your field, the act and art of writing remains a constant and sometimes elusive challenge. From the weight of self-doubt to the fear of coming up short in ideas, few artists face the beginning of a project without some trepidation. The cursor blinks.

But maybe you’re deep into a piece and feel that your characters aren’t dimensional enough, or your storyline is running flat. You want to hash things out with someone who can assess and advise, help you tear it all apart and then stand by you as you carefully build it back. It’s going to be an emotional and heady ride. You’re ready to go there, though. It’s time.

Of course, it’s your agenda to set

”Wendy understands that any story should take its characters and the audience on a rewarding emotional journey. But her true gift is helping writers find themselves in their stories, so that they are told with more truth, passion, and humor. Many times I have been lost in a sea of notes and Wendy has masterfully helped me navigate through them while staying true to myself and my vision."
