Writing Doesn’t Have to
Feel Mysterious

I help smart, deadline-driven writers – especially researchers and grant professionals – finally make space for the fiction they’ve been putting off. If you’ve got a mystery or suspense story tugging at you (and a calendar packed with everything but writing time!), I’ll help you carve out space, build momentum, and bring that novel to life with structure, strategy, and a little southern grit.

Rebecca Davis, Book Coach

I’m a book coach who helps research-minded, deadline-driven writers finally make space for the stories they’ve been putting off. After 25 years in biomedical research administration and grant writing, I pivoted from proposals to the kind of writing I’ve loved since childhood: mystery and suspense. Now, I help analytical, over-scheduled creatives turn their story ideas into real momentum… with structure, strategy, and a little southern grit.
