Small Group Accountability
Story Forward
You’ve got a story that you care about deeply—and a million things pulling you away from it.
Maybe you’re drafting something new. Maybe you’re deep in revisions. Either way, you’re craving a rhythm, a system, a nudge, a cheering section. Some structure that actually fits into your life.
Let’s move your story forward together.
Story Forward is a small-group coaching program designed to help you focus, follow through, and finish strong. With gentle structure, community support, and just the right amount of accountability, you’ll spend 12 weeks working on your book with a coach (hi!) keeping you on track.
No judgment. No workshop chaos. No time on other people’s pages. Just a clear plan and space to do the work.

How It Works
Customized Work Plan
Based on the goals you set and the writing time you have each week, I’ll create a personalized project plan for you so you’ll know exactly what you’re aiming for. We’ll review it together in our kick-off call and adjust as needed.
Twice Monthly Coaching Calls
Every other week, we’ll meet as a group for 60 minutes of AMA coaching time. Bring your sticky plot or character questions, revision decisions, scheduling snafus—we’ll untangle it together.
Twice Weekly Co-writing
Two 60-minute sessions per week to put our heads down and work (typically one morning and one evening ET).
Online Community Check-Ins
Monday and Friday check-ins via Slack or email. I’ll be nudging, cheering you on, and answering quick questions between calls.
Weekly Page Submissions
Based on your plan, you’ll submit pages each week. I won’t be reading them, but I will follow up if you go quiet.
*Story Forward members receive a discount on individual/follow-up coaching, if desired.

Story Forward is ideal for writers who…
Are drafting or revising a novel and tired of going it alone
Want structure without pressure, shame, or performative hustle
Do best with external accountability (gentle but firm)
Want community and co-writing—without workshop-style critique
Have a real goal for the next 12 weeks (finish a draft, complete a revision stage, rebuild consistency)
Not ideal if…
You want detailed editorial feedback on pages each week (1:1 coaching or a manuscript review will serve you better)
You don’t want to set goals or check in consistently
You prefer to work entirely solo (no community component)
Your schedule makes live calls/co-writing impossible
