We're at a turning point in the writing world
—one where writers are reclaiming their voice, redefining success, and publishing on their own terms.
I’m here to help lead that shift.
Through StoryBold, I support writers of fiction, memoir, and nonfiction in developing their craft, deepening their confidence, and navigating a publishing landscape that’s changing fast. Whether you’re writing from lived experience or pure imagination, your story has power and it deserves a real path to readers.
I've created a space to nurture your most meaningful work, boldest decisions, and creative momentum.
In the midst of this turning point, I'm living out my own creativity
—revising a novel, writing a memoir while living the story it tells, building a nonfiction project rooted in nutrition and motherhood, and sharing fresh insights in the StoryBold Library.
This is how I stay close to the work: by doing it.

My love for stories
started very young and took me all the way to a doctoral program in literature at the University of Tennessee.
While I valued the skills I was learning in grad school, I realized that my true calling would lead me away from higher education. I then made the best professional decision of my life: to finish the doctorate and design my dream life, fueled by the power of stories.
To design this life,
I hired mentors to help me build a brand, sell my services, design learning experiences, tell stories, and make every decision from a sovereign place. I created opportunities to write for the private sector, forge relationships in the publishing industry, and generate my own income.
That's when StoryBold was born
I combined the rigor of scholarship, the mindset of an entrepreneur, and the soul of a creator to launch StoryBold: a space where writers find clarity, elevate their craft, and stay true to their vision.
Since launching StoryBold, I've helped writers at every level navigate the writing world with more confidence
My approach blends deep story craft, developmental editing, and mindset work to help writers write better books and build sustainable careers. I support the whole writer: on the page, in their process, and in the publishing industry.
StoryBold in action
Everything I do through StoryBold is rooted in a deep commitment to offering writers the practical, emotional, and creative support they need to shape meaningful stories and build a future through their craft. Over time, my commitment has taken form through coaching, courses, community, thoughtful partnerships, and consistent content creation. Below are just a few ways I bring my mission to life and make an impact.
Brand partnerships
I’ve proudly partnered with visionary brands to create high-impact learning experiences for writers. Through collaborations with Transformation Academy, Infostack, Daniel David Wallace’s Summit, Capital One, NSU Florida, and Inker’s Con, I’ve been able to make writing education more accessible, creative growth more achievable, and the writing life more visible. These partnerships have helped me extend the reach of StoryBold and support more writers on their terms.
The StoryBold Library
I’ve published articles on hot topics for book lovers and writers, reaching 30,000+ readers each month through the StoryBold Library. From literary craft to mindset shifts to curated book lists, my essays offer inspiration and substance for creatives across genres. The StoryBold Library is more than a blog—it’s a growing collection of practical wisdom for anyone walking the writer’s path (or searching for their next unforgettable read).
The Author Exchange
I created the Author Exchange, a mastermind and professional development space where writers grow through WIP shares and breakthroughs. Inside this vibrant community, writers bring scenes, ideas, and drafts to the table and leave with insight, encouragement, and craft-forward strategies they can apply right away.
Self-study courses
I’ve developed self-study courses to help writers master craft and explore potential on their own schedule. From deep dives into voice, style, and story architecture to mindset tools and generative prompts, these courses meet writers where they are and offer a flexible path to creative clarity, whether they’re building their first draft or refining their signature voice.
Live workshops
I’ve taught live workshops in Miami and online to help writers build stories with the support of peers. These sessions are rooted in community, honesty, and the creative process in motion. Whether leading in person or on screen, I create space for writers to take risks, ask better questions, and grow in real time alongside others.

Check out my books
These books reflect my voice across genres, from scholarly inquiry to soul-searching reflection. Explore them to get a deeper sense of what matters to me as a writer and coach.
Space and Place in the Hunger Games
A multi-author exploration that treats commercial fiction as worthy of serious inquiry.
This scholarly collection digs into the cultural significance of The Hunger Games trilogy. My chapter focuses on narrative technique and invites readers into a deeper experience of the story. Perfect for writers and fans who want to go beyond the page.
The SoulTruth Journal
A guided exploration of the writing life, from the inside out.
This journal is filled with writing prompts and thought experiments designed to help you deepen your confidence, uncover your truth, and access limitless creative inspiration from within. It includes real examples from fellow writers to remind you: you’re not doing this alone.
What I'm writing now
These are the projects I’m actively shaping, each one rooted in lived experience, creative curiosity, and a desire to tell stories that matter. Writing my own work is front and center at my desk and in my coaching practice. I share it openly as part of my lead-by-example approach, because living the writing life is what makes me a better guide for others walking their own creative path.
A memoir
This book explores my story of conceiving and birthing babies naturally after 40. It defies the dominant fertility narratives and offers a message hope to women over 35 that motherhood is still possible. I'm writing the first draft in summer of 2025, while pregnant at 44 with my second child and living the very story this book tells.
A novel
My work of upmarket fiction is undergoing a major revision with a fresh plan, sharper voice, and fuller vision. It follows a sociology researcher who, desperate to secure an academic job, turns her lover into the subject of a new case study, blurring the lines between observation and intimacy. Trained to examine how others live, she now must confront the ethics of her choices and face a deeper reckoning: the need to examine her own life for the first time.
A nonfiction nutrition guide
Inspired by personal experience and professional certification in nutrition, I’m building a science-backed, heart-forward guide to help women nourish themselves and their babies.
Expanding the StoryBold Library
I’m deepening the Library’s content to serve both writers and thoughtful readers. The StoryBold Library now includes curated lists, behind-the-scenes glimpses into my writing process, and explorations of what it means to read and write with soul in a noisy world.
Why I do this work
By now, you've seen my story, my work, and the ways I support writers at every stage. Here's one more thing you should know about my philosophy:
Stories clarify our thinking, expand empathy, and awaken imagination. They carry weight. They spark change. They outlive us.
That's why I teach writing as both an art and act of leadership. You don't need a six-figure degree to write a meaningful book. But you do need a clear process, trusted feedback, and a deep relationship with your voice.
