The Long Story 

 

Mentoring Through Experience

With nearly four decades of teaching experience, my coaching and editorial approach is deeply rooted in solid instructional practices. Whether you're a novice writer embarking on your first book, a seasoned novelist seeking feedback, or a student crafting a college essay, I'm here to guide you. The journey may not be easy, but I'm committed to your progress every step of the way.

​

In addition to author coaching, I offer business services like copyediting, content creation, consulting, and collaboration. I can help polish your writing, whether it's for a blog post, article, or other project. I also provide customized classes and workshops to help your team improve their writing skills and overall content quality.

About Me

I’m a lifelong Long Island resident, a proud mother of three, and a doting nana to two wonderful grandchildren. My academic journey includes a bachelor's degree in communications with a focus on broadcast journalism and public relations, a master's in English education, and a master's in library science. I've also pursued extensive postgraduate studies in education, literature, writing, and research. I've also completed a certificate in editing and publishing through UCLA's prestigious Writers' Program

​

Since securing my first contract with Penguin Random House in 2012, I’ve published 19 novels with both major and independent publishers. With a deep understanding of the unique challenges authors face in today's ever-evolving publishing landscape, I’m here to offer the support and insight you need.

Beyond individual author sessions, I love collaborating with public libraries, schools, writers' groups, and community organizations to develop workshops, classes, and talks on writing, publishing, and the arts.
