Whether you're seeking clarity on your story idea or working to complete your novel or memoir, I help you build a writing practice that honors story structure, your creative vision, and the life you want to live as a writer.

I do this through book coaching
and developmental editing.

Helping you shape the story on your heart without losing yourself in the process.

Book Coach & Developmental Editor for Fiction and Memoir Writers

Weekly insights on nurturing both your story and yourself as a writer. Because your best stories emerge when you honor the whole writer you are.

Craft and mindset that will strengthen your book

But writing a book asks more of you than that.

I support the whole writer—your story, your process, and the inner life that sustains your work. This is the lens I bring to everything I do—whether I’m coaching a novel, evaluating a manuscript, or teaching writers how to move forward.

Because finishing a book isn’t just about knowing what to do next.
It’s about staying connected to the work when doubt, comparison, and overwhelm try to take over.

I work with fiction and memoir writers through book coaching, developmental editing, and manuscript evaluations. Whether you're writing a novel or a memoir, I help you strengthen your structure, clarify your narrative, and bring emotional depth to the page.

Most writing advice focuses on craft alone.

How We Can Work Together

Jennifer O'Brien, author of the Summer I found you

"I wanted an editor/coach who was nurturing with a soft delivery, but also gave critique when needed, and Nicole has been that and more."

Thank you!

Kelly Kearsley, author of Talented and Gifted

“Nicole’s program provided all the things that I needed as a first-time novelist. It was an invaluable experience that was integral to moving from trying to write a draft to finishing a draft and then knowing what to do next.”

Helped me finish my draft!

Joelle Babula, author of infidelity rules

Your program walked me - a 100% pantser - through a user-friendly guide to plotting and outlining, something I desperately needed!

I now have the skills to write forward!

Nkechi O,
