Hooray! I'm so pleased you've taken this step towards achieving your writing goals!

Now, you're here because you're interested in learning more about how I can help you. So I can determine the best way to do that, fill in this form so I can learn a bit about where you are with your writing and what kind of help you need. Your answers will help me determine how I can best meet your needs.

Thanks for completing it!

Oh, and so I don't waste your time, please note that I do not coach writers who:
- have written or wish to write stories that contain excessive physical violence or graphic sexual assault
- are impatient to be published — writing a good story takes time and hard work!
- are too attached to a particular method of writing. (I use a well-practiced and refined approach to story development that gets results!)
Chat soon,

Libby
