About Me

Learn More About Nancy

Prior to becoming an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach, I was (and still am) a professional engineer. One of my passions has always been mentoring. I believe everyone should have a mentor. My other passion is writing. When you combine these two things – book coaching is a natural result.

My Promise to You

I will always give you my honest feedback. I will tell you when something is not working and WHY.

I will help you to understand publishing today. I will expect you to work to meet our agreed upon schedule.

I will be a champion of your work. You are always in the driver's seat; while I may make suggestions, it's ultimately your story. Your decisions.

What I Do

Strategic Planning Partner

My engineering and management background affords me the experience to keep your program on track, motivate you and hold you accountable, brainstorm with you, and manage the next steps required to finish your manuscript.

Strategizing and brainstorming your project with me will allow you to see possibilities you otherwise might have passed by.

Storytelling Mentor

The Author Accelerator Certified Book Coaching program played a transformative role in my writing journey. It not only honed my skills as a storyteller, but it also equipped me with the invaluable ability to guide and empower fellow writers on their own storytelling odysseys. 

Not only have I become a more proficient and insightful storyteller, I have also discovered the profound joy of sharing my knowledge and nurturing the talents of others.

Personalized Coaching

In my own writing journey, I wasted years on processes that didn’t work for me. They weren’t focused on me and my needs. But Author Accelerator trained me to focus on the writer’s needs.

My method is personalized. You’ll learn how to outline a story, build characters that people will connect with, and complete your manuscript.

Diverse Knowledge Base

I am an Author Accelerator certified book coach, and a member of Paragraph NY, WFWA, and Citrus Crime Writers (the Central Florida Chapter of Sisters in Crime). I hold a BA in Economics from Framingham State University and a BS in Civil Engineering from Worcester Polytechnic Institute. All of which informs my approach and style of coaching.

Find Your Unique Voice

I want to help people discover their authentic voices by improving their writing skills and fostering their creativity and self confidence.

Coaching cultivates authenticity and hones writing skills, guiding individuals to unearth their unique voice, gain self-confidence, and achieve excellence in storytelling.

Collaborative Writing Journey

Nancy is an Author Accelerator Certified Book Coach.

Author Accelerator is on a mission to raise the bar on book coaching – to help book coaches run successful, sustainable businesses helping writers do their best work. They have trained and certified more than 180 book coaches (including me!) through their Book Coach Certification program.

As an Author Accelerator certified book coach, my specialty is helping writers who have dreamed of being an author but have commitments that have up to this point taken precedence. As a writer who learned the craft of writing while holding a day job, I struggled for years to find the time and the right technique to plan and write the novel I was meant to write. Now that I’ve found it, I want to share it with other aspiring writers.
