Coaching

Discover your voice,

vision,

inspiration.

I offer 1-on-1 coaching to writers seeking to put personal stories into words. Whether you’re crafting a college admissions essay or a book-length memoir, I’ll help you amplify your voice, center your purpose, and deepen your passion for your project.

I want you to leave our session inspired & excited to keep writing!

While personal writing can be a gift to writers and their readers, crafting these stories can also bring hard memories, feelings, and self-beliefs to the surface. I meet each writer where they are in their own process of self-understanding and invite writers to treat themselves with compassion and care throughout their creative process.

“Jess is a smart, sensitive reader who ‘gets’ a piece right away … Her feedback is a rare combination of praise for what the writer has done well, combined with questions that spark ideas and even inspiration … Jess’s feedback has given me new insights, renewed faith in my craft, and energy to keep going — just about everything a writer needs!” 

“Jessica did a wonderful job of helping our son craft his essay for college admissions. With her guidance, he was able to tell his unique story using his own voice. Each step of the way, she helped reduce anxiety and build confidence. We are still early in the admissions process, but our son has already been accepted by his two top school choices and he was offered generous scholarships to both. I cannot recommend Jessica enough!”
