Work with Jennifer
As a former senior editor at HarperCollins and a bestselling author, one of my greatest joys is helping writers transform ideas into stories that come to life.
From first ideas and unfinished manuscripts to publishing questions and career decisions, every writer’s journey is different. Whether you’re beginning your first manuscript, finishing your fifth novel, navigating the publishing world, or rediscovering the joy of writing, these private sessions are designed to offer thoughtful guidance, honest encouragement, and practical next steps.
Through Spark Sessions and Editorial Intensives, I offer personalized support for writers at every stage of the journey—from first ideas and unfinished manuscripts to publishing questions and career decisions. My goal is simple: to help you move your writing forward with greater clarity, confidence, and purpose.
You don’t have to navigate the next chapter alone.
What You’ll Experience
Clarity — We’ll identify exactly where you are in your writing journey, what’s keeping your project from moving forward, and the next steps that will help you make meaningful progress.
Encouragement & Insight — Our sessions are designed to be both practical and deeply encouraging. I’ll help you reconnect with your instincts as a writer while offering thoughtful guidance shaped by years in publishing, storytelling, and creative work.
Personalized Direction — You’ll leave with clear next steps, renewed confidence, and a deeper understanding of how to move forward in a way that feels aligned and sustainable.

Spark Session: Writing Clarity & Guidance
Every writer’s journey looks a little different.
Some are just beginning to imagine their first book. Others are halfway through a manuscript, exploring publication, or wondering how to move a story from almost to finished. Wherever you find yourself, you don’t have to navigate the journey alone.
Spark Sessions are private one-on-one conversations designed to help you move through creative blocks, uncertainty, reinvention, or seasons of feeling stuck. Whether you’re trying to begin your first book, finish a manuscript that’s stalled halfway through, shape an idea into something readers will love, or simply find the confidence to call yourself a writer, these sessions offer experienced guidance, encouragement, and honest conversation from someone who has spent decades writing, editing, publishing, and helping stories find their way into the world.
Together we’ll identify where you are in your writing journey, uncover what’s keeping your project from moving forward, and create a practical roadmap for your next steps.
You’ll leave with renewed clarity, practical next steps, and a deeper connection to the creative spark that’s been waiting patiently beneath the surface.
Spark Sessions are designed for creative guidance, clarity, encouragement, and thoughtful conversation rather than in-depth manuscript critique or editorial review.

-
You have a book idea but aren’t sure where to begin.
-
You’ve started writing but feel stuck or overwhelmed.
-
You’re wondering whether your story has potential.

VIP Spark Day: A Private Author Intensive
A deeply personalized, high-touch intensive for writers who want dedicated time to strengthen their manuscript, refine their publishing strategy, explore new ideas, or intentionally shape the next chapter of their writing career.
VIP Spark Days are immersive private intensives that blend creative guidance, editorial insight, publishing strategy, brainstorming, and thoughtful conversation in a way that is both inspiring and deeply practical. Together, we’ll create space to step away from the noise, focus on what matters most, and explore your work, ideas, goals, and creative direction with clarity and intention.
Whether you’re revising a completed manuscript, preparing to query agents, planning an independent publishing launch, brainstorming your next novel, or taking a step back to think strategically about your writing career, this experience is designed to meet you where you are and help you move forward with clarity and confidence.
Each VIP Spark Day is thoughtfully tailored to your goals and may include developmental manuscript feedback, story development, publishing strategy, career planning, creative brainstorming, platform direction, or mapping out your next book—depending on where you are in your journey.
This is more than a strategy session. It’s a dedicated space to think deeply, dream honestly, and reconnect with the creative life you want to build.
Unlike a traditional manuscript critique, a VIP Spark Day gives us the time to look at the bigger picture: your manuscript, your publishing path, your long-term goals, and the writing career you’re building.
VIP Spark Days are a good fit for:
-
You’re revising a manuscript and want focused editorial insight
-
You’re preparing to query agents or pursue independent publishing
-
You’ve built an author career and want strategic guidance for what comes next

You’re developing your next book and want dedicated brainstorming and planning time.
