SERVICES

With over a decade’s experience in helping people overcome blocks—and combined with my background in marketing (Harley-Davidson, State Farm, Scripps Howard News) and publishing—I have successfully bridged the gap between the craft of creating and the business of being an artist.

Highly recommended by literary agents, editors, and creative industry professionals, I am recognized for my unique ability to help writers, artists, and other creatives wrangle their ideas into compelling and sellable works.

One-on-One Strategy Sessions

My 60-minute strategy sessions are results driven to get you unblocked and back to work. Whether you’re just starting out with an idea or are stuck in the middle of a project, I will give you the clarity, confidence, and support to move forward.­ You’ll get off our call knowing exactly what steps to take next in order to make your creative endeavors a reality.

I’m also determined for you to make it all the way to the finish line with your work. All. The. Way. So after our initial session or sessions, I’ll be here for whatever you need to keep you headed in the right direction.

During strategy sessions, I’ll:

  • Help you identify what blocks are keeping you stuck – and help you overcome them
  • Create a plan of next steps for your project so you can move forward
  • Make sure you never feel alone (I’m the best pep-talker ever) and will be there for you via chats, email, and more

Specifically for writers, I can also: Help you determine what direction is best to take with a specific project; give you high level direction, advice, and insight on a focused area of your book proposal, essay, or other work; answer all your questions about writing and publishing; help you create a plan to market your work­­­; make a recommendation about if your book is best suited for self-publishing or traditional publishing; offer direction on how to successfully pitch your writing.

Fee: $250/session

Small, Intimate Group Programs

My small group programs for writers and creatives were originally held only in-person in New York City but are now available via Zoom as well (thank you, 2020). While most programs allow an unlimited number of students, I cap my groups to 10 people max. My groups may be small, but that’s why we’re mighty—a place where there’s plenty of time and space to talk, learn, and grow confident together.

My programs include: break through blocks + writing support, memoir writing, and crafting a sellable book proposal.

Over a 4-6 week period, we’ll meet weekly in a supportive group that’s got your back. We’ll talk, be there for each other, and make sure you’re well on track to finish whatever you’re working on by the time we close.

I offer personalized attention and feedback during every class. You will always be part of the discussion instead of watching it — able to ask me any questions you’d like to get the clarity and help you need.

If you need some one-on-one support, you are welcome to book a strategy session or two and I’ll sit with you for even more help.

Group sessions run several times a year.

“Every writer needs an Amy in their corner. She will work tirelessly to help you craft your project, even during those times you want to give up; her support and enthusiasm is unflagging. She knows the in's and out's of the process and publishing industry and guided me so expertly at every stage (and pushed me where I needed to be pushed) that what initially felt impossible became totally doable.”
