Story Forward
Move your story forward this spring.
Small Group Accountability Coaching
You’ve got a story that you care about deeply—and a million things pulling you away from it.
Maybe you’re drafting something new. Maybe you’re deep in revisions. Either way, you’re craving a rhythm, a system, a nudge, a cheering section. Some structure that actually fits into your life.
This spring, let’s move your story forward together.
Story Forward is a small-group coaching program designed to help you focus, follow through, and finish strong. With gentle structure, community support, and just the right amount of accountability, you’ll spend 12 weeks working on your book with a coach (hi!) keeping you on track.
No judgment. No workshop chaos. No time on other people’s pages. Just a clear plan and space to do the work.
How It Works
12 weeks
Story Forward will start on January 6 and run through April 1. We’ll be checking in weekly, but our coaching calls will happen every other week.
Customized Work Plan
Based on the goals you set and the writing time you have each week, I’ll create a personalized project plan for you so you’ll know exactly what your results can be. We’ll review it together in our kick-off call and adjust as necessary.
Bi-Weekly Coaching Calls
Every other week (Wednesday evenings ET), we’ll meet as a group for 60 minutes of AMA coaching time. Think of these meetings as your writer therapy — bring your sticky plot or character questions, your scheduling snafus. We’ll untangle it together.
Twice Weekly Co-writing
60 minutes twice a week to put our heads down and work. There will be a Tuesday morning and a Thursday evening session (ET) to accommodate as many schedules as possible.
Online Community Check-Ins
Monday and Friday check-ins via our Slack community. I’ll be in there nudging and cheering you on and answering quick questions that come up between calls.
Weekly Page Submissions
Based on the plan that we set, I’ll be expecting pages from you each week. I won’t be reading them, but I will be pestering you if I don’t get them.
**Story Forward members will receive a discount on individual/follow-up coaching, if desired.

Is this you?
Story Forward is for you if
You’re writing or revising a novel and tired of going it alone.
You want structure but not pressure.
You’ve tried other programs but need something quieter, kinder, and more sustainable.
You want to kick off this year with real momentum and fewer “I should’ve…”s.
Awesome! But what does all this cost? What’s my commitment?
The investment: $1,300.
*Can be paid in full at program start or in 3 equal payments due at the start of the program, February, and March.
**This is half the cost of weekly accountability coaching. You also get a personalized project plan, private community, and co-writing sessions!
***Story Forward members will receive a discount on follow-up coaching, if desired.
Enrollment closes January 6 or when the group fills.
Spots are limited so I can give each writer personalized attention. If you’re in, let’s make a plan and get those pages done.
