Heather's CREATIVE WRITERY

​

I have met many writers who like to keep their secrets close to the vest. That’s not me. I am a cards-on-the-table type of teacher. A sharer of ideas. 

​

I particularly like to help writers develop their stories as well as figure out their audience and marketing hook— which, in my opinion saves years of strife if writers find it sooner than later. 


I have worked with memoirists, YA novelists, middle-grade novelists, literary fiction writers, essayists, humor writers, horror writers, and fantasy novelists. 

​

I offer virtual group workshops and tailor-made one-on-one workshops for those getting started or with works-in-progress, as well as developmental editing for those with completed first drafts. 

​

In addition, I run a College Admissions Essay Bootcamp for schools and individual students, calling upon my work as a University Writing Center Instructor, and my passion for stories in all forms.

​

I look forward to supporting your artistic goals and dreams.

​

-Heather

WRITER TESTIMONIALS:

"I look back at a story I wrote five edits ago, and cannot thank Heather enough for helping me through each edit. I wasn't always happy with her comments, but she tells it like it is.  Thank you Heather!"
