Book marketing consultationsI offer one-hour consults that help writers strategize effective approaches to their author platform and book marketing plans. As a former public relations director and marketing manager, and a published writer, I’ll bring my expertise to share my perspectives on how to shape your book marketing strategy.
To get started, I’ll send you payment details and a link to my calendar. You’ll pay, choose the next date that works for you, and bring your top concerns and questions along with your book and author marketing plans and/or challenges. Not only will this be an active working session, you’ll leave with actionable steps to help you move forward with your next book. |

Guidebook for freelance journalists
Magazine Queries That Worked: Build Income and Authority With Freelance Journalism is a collection of my successful magazine pitches that earned paid published bylines. This includes articles in Draft, GRIT, Dog Fancy, Blue Ridge Country, Chesapeake Family, and more. In addition to the pitch letters, I explain the stories behind every article. Readers will learn how I got the ideas for articles, what I was paid, and how I found sources. Additional sections help writers learn how to streamline interviews, special contract terms to avoid, understand concerns about media liability, and more.

Unpublished works
ROSE WINDOW | A novel-in-stories
ROSE WINDOW is a 50,000-word novel-in-stories about three generations of the Grant family and their efforts to conceal family secrets. Set in pre-war Hastings-on-Hudson, post-war Brooklyn and Manhattan, and contemporary Long Island, the stories explore family secrets that can and cannot stay hidden as history repeats itself in haunting ways. As an episodic collection of stories, each one is told from the perspective of a different family member. From a mother sent off to a mental asylum, to her adult son later trapped in an attic by his wife and children, this collection shows the power of secrets and the lengths we will go to keep them hidden. Read more about my short story collection.
ARCHITECTURE OF BEES | Nature-inspired verse and essays.
Divided by the solstices and inspired by honey bees, this collection of verse captures my beekeeping seasonal perspectives and earth-conscious life in haiku, haibun, and flash essays.
