Work With Me
For writers, makers, and meaning-seekers ready to name the thing beneath the thing.
If you read Brittle Views and something in it made you pause—if you saw yourself in the fracture, or felt an old ache surface—this is for you.
Whether you’re carrying a half-formed idea, a stalled-out project, or just the sense that you have something to say but no clear way to say it—I offer quiet, grounded support to help you find the thread again.
1:1 Offerings
Just One Thread
A 90-minute clarity session for when your words are close, but just out of reach.
You’re circling something. An idea, a half-started piece, a moment you don’t quite know how to hold. Together, we’ll name it. Tangle and untangle. Build a path forward that feels honest, not hurried.
You’ll leave with language that fits, next steps that don’t feel forced, and renewed trust in the thread you’re following.
Good for: Essays, book ideas, personal storytelling, “about” pages, story pitches, and the creative knots you’ve been carrying too long.
Includes:
90-minute Zoom session
Personalized summary with questions, patterns, and next-step suggestions
7-day post-call email check-in for light accountability
Rates vary. Sliding scale available. Just ask.
Come Back When You’re Ready
A gentle 4-week reentry for writers finding their way back.
Maybe you stopped because life got loud. Or you changed. Or the words did. This isn’t a productivity sprint. It’s a return.
We’ll walk back into the project—or the practice—with care. One foot in front of the other. I’ll help you build rhythm, recover trust, and shape momentum that actually fits the life you’re living now.
Good for: Dormant drafts, paused projects, recovering writers, creative reawakening after grief, burnout, or transition.
Includes:
1x 60-minute onboarding session
3x weekly 45-minute coaching calls
Shared notes/documents for gentle structure
Email or voice memo support between sessions
Rates vary. Sliding scale available. Just ask.
The Story That Stayed
A 6-week container for true stories that refuse to stay quiet.
You’re writing from memory. From meaning. From that unshakable sense that your story wants to be told—just not in the neat, polished way others expect.
This is a space for real stories with rough edges. We’ll clarify your focus, shape the arc, and honor what’s still hard to name. Whether you’re writing for yourself, for readers, or for the person you used to be—you won’t be doing it alone.
Good for: Memoir, legacy writing, reflective essays, origin stories, and writing through personal change.
Includes:
1x 75-minute narrative mapping session
3x rounds of live or async editorial feedback
Written notes on up to 6,000 words
Story structure worksheets + reflection tools
Unlimited light-touch check-ins (email or voice memo)
Rates vary. Sliding scale available. Just ask.
Want something lighter or more flexible?
Ask about Whispers & Nudges — async voice/text coaching for when you need small sparks or soft accountability without the formality of a call.
Good for: Gentle momentum, testing ideas aloud, staying connected to your writing practice.
Includes:
Voxer or email-based coaching (choose 3- or 6-week window)
2–3 exchanges per week
Optional review of short excerpts or idea sketches
Rates vary. Sliding scale available. Just ask.
Soft Launch Invitation
This is a soft, quiet invitation. I’m not launching a program or opening a cohort. Just making space—for conversations, stories, and creative re-entries that want company.
If something here speaks to you, start by replying to any Brittle Views email. Or send me a note. Let me know what you’re circling. We’ll figure it out from there.
Not sure which offering fits? Reach out and we’ll find the shape together.
I’ve walked this road myself—writing through memory, silence, uncertainty—and have helped others find their way back too.
No pressure. Just process.
