Know Your Why Workbook

This one's a bit different from a lot of what I put out — less about craft mechanics, more about the thing underneath them. Three prompts, about 20 minutes total, built around a core question: why this book, and why you.

Your answer can change but it will also hold up over the life of a draft. Pull it out again mid-revision, when a choice feels shaky. Use it as a diagnostic lens and a mission statement. Happy writing!

You know what you want your novel to be. You just can't see why it isn't working yet. I can — and I'll show you how to get it there.

To discuss your project and how we might work together, fill out the Contact form to get started. We’ll set up a no-obligation, free 30-minute Zoom chat where we’ll get to know each other, you can learn how I work and get all your questions answered, and I can get to know your project and your goals.
