Gain the confidence to make bold revision choices, again and again
You’re circling the same questions over and over again, stuck in an endless cycle of untangling messy plot and character threads because you are missing the deep revision strategies that will make revision a transformational (and dare I say…magical?) experience.
I’m here to help you learn the skills you need to completely re-envision how you tell your story so that it maps to that perfect story idea in your mind and heart.
Once you learn the skills you need to identify what’s not working in your story on a structural level, you’ll start to feel excited about revising, and even about receiving the feedback that leads to one more round of revision. Because you’ll realize what I already know:
A problem you’ve identified in your work is a problem you can solve.

Sonia found the ideal audience for her book and her platform!
“In searching for a book coach, I needed to find someone who “got me” and understood what I wanted to put out into the world. Then together, I felt that we could shape the story into something magical. And we did…Thank goodness you were interested in my story and took the time to be interested in me and what my vision was. We had great chemistry from the get-go and created a process that was comfortable for me.
You helped me to shape all of the “stuff in my head” into a beautiful story that was true to me and also stayed focused on the reader’s perspective."
—Sonia Hunt, author of Nut Job (Gen X Media, 2021).
Can you answer the Four Essential Questions?
It sounds simple, but these questions are the key to a story that works. Learn what the four essential questions are and how they work in your pitch, synopsis, and story in this free workbook.
Even experienced writers with plenty of craft knowledge, stellar critique partners, and a mature draft still struggle to break the rejection cycle and get to that long-sought YES.
When you’re inside this struggle, your inability to crack your revision seems like a mystery… one that keeps you banging your head against your desk and crying over your Scrivener file (been there!).
I help status quo-busting writers like you decode disappointing feedback and get clear on what is holding their draft back so they can make the bold revision choices that will finally get their book query-ready.

Maria went from full of doubt to confident, award-winning author.
“Julie helped me take the first draft of my manuscript to a polished, well executed novel that got me an agent and my first book deal. Julie’s ability to not only see the forest AND the trees but also zoom in and help with line level suggestions was invaluable. Above ALL that, Julie’s friendly, approachable, and genuine style of coaching made me feel at ease with my writing and helped me believe in myself again.
Julie’s love of the writing craft comes through in everything we did. And now, because of her, I am a better writer who has fallen back in love with the process!”
—Maria José Fitzgerald, author of Turtles of the Midnight Moon, winner of the Green Earth Book Award for Children’s Fiction, an International Latino Book Awards honoree, and an Indie’s Introduces and Indie’s Next pick.
