Work With Karen
The warrior is already inside you.
Let’s bring her out.
Three ways to work with Karen — each one designed to move you from silence to story, from hiding to sovereign.
01
Private Coaching
1:1 Writing Coaching
You have a story. You may have been carrying it for years — maybe your whole life. But something has kept you from putting it on the page. Fear. Doubt. The voice that says no one will care.
In private coaching with Karen, you'll silence that voice and replace it with the one that's been waiting — the warrior. Together you'll shape your raw experience into writing that is honest, alive, and undeniably yours.

Group Work
Workshops & Speaking
There's a reason people hesitate to write in public. They're afraid of being truly seen. Karen's workshops create the conditions where writers stop protecting themselves and start telling the truth.
Bring Karen to your organization, book club, university, or writing group. Available for keynotes, half-day intensives, and multi-week series. Every session is built around one core belief: craft follows courage.

Common Questions
You might be wondering…
What is writing coaching?
Writing coaching is a guided process where Karen works with you one-on-one to help you develop your writing voice, work through blocks, and shape your ideas into something real. It's not editing — it's excavation. Together you'll uncover what you're actually trying to say and find the courage to say it.
Who is this for?
Anyone who has a story inside them and fear between them and the page. Karen works with aspiring memoirists, first-time book writers, professionals wanting to write their story, and anyone who has been saying 'I've always wanted to write' for too long. You don't need prior experience — just a willingness to begin.
What if I've never written before?
That's exactly who Karen loves to work with. Beginning writers often have the least to unlearn. Karen's approach meets you exactly where you are — no experience required, no judgment, no comparison. The blank page is not your enemy. Karen will prove it.
How long does coaching take?
It depends on where you are and where you want to go. Some writers work with Karen for a few months to get unstuck and build momentum. Others commit to a longer engagement to take a full manuscript from idea to draft. Karen will help you figure out what makes sense in your free discovery call.
Not sure which is right for you?
Start with a free 30-minute call. Karen will listen to where you are and help you find the path that fits.
