you are here, because your story is begging you to let it out
You deserve to feel energized every time you sit down to write and confident that every keystroke gets you closer to your truth. You deserve to develop your story into a book and hold it in your hand. And readers deserve to experience the difference your book makes in their lives.
this is your legacy
To build it, you need the right people and energy around you, a regular gathering of passionate storytellers, dedicated to the success of every member.
that's why I created my signature program,
an online community for getting in touch with your true gifts and turning ideas into page-turners.

the Author Exchange is more than a community
Here, you'll find an incubator for hatching new story ideas, a playground for taking risks and trying new approaches, a forum for discussing the writing life, and a rehearsal studio for professionalizing as an author.
