🖤 MY PROMISE TO DARK-FICTION WRITERS
Your Story Is Heavy. Your Process Shouldn’t Be.
You’re writing a story with weight—trauma, transformation, monsters, grief, power, love, wounds, vengeance, redemption.
These aren’t light stories. They demand emotional courage, clarity, and safe guidance.
That’s where I come in.
I bring a blend of:
- Trauma-Aware Coaching
- Developmental Editorial Craft
- Technical Structure & Process Thinking
- Emotional Insight & Creative Support
- Professional Publishing Knowledge
I help writers turn darkness into narrative power.
Confusion into clarity.
Shame into voice.
Chaos into catharsis.

🥀 WHY AUTHORS TRUST ME WITH THEIR HEAVIEST STORIES
“I Coach the Writers Who Carry Heavy Stories.”
I’m not the coach for light, fluffy writing.
I’m the coach for writers who:
- feel overwhelmed by their book
- carry emotional weight into their stories
- write dark romance, fantasy, or psychological fiction
- are scared to look too closely at the themes
- feel stuck between inspiration and fear
- need structure to hold the chaos
- want someone who gets the emotional cost of writing deeply
I merge professional craft with emotional intelligence.
I honor your story and the version of you who needs to tell it.
