I’ve been speaking at conferences, on podcasts, and to groups since 2016. I offer interviews, keynotes, classes, and workshops that inspire audiences to write their book and use their message to help others.
As the book coach and editor behind Green Goose Writing, I work with people who want to write a book that inspires others but are stuck trying to get the words on the page. I help them finally finish their book and feel proud of sharing their words with the world.
I’ve written 16 books, taught college writing classes, and edited countless manuscripts. Plus, I’m the founder of Write Your Book, an online course teaching first-time writers how to wrangle their ideas, write like a pro, and create a manuscript they’re insanely proud of.
I’m open to all speaking and teaching inquiries.
Example Speaking topics
Three Reasons You Should Write a Book (And One Big Reason You Shouldn’t)
Why a book can be an incredible tool to share your message and why you might want to avoid it.
How to Know If You’re Ready to Write a Book
