ONE-ON-ONE WRITING COACHING
You + Your Content + Your Writing Dream = My Favorite Puzzle
I don’t love crosswords because they don’t feel meaningful enough to me. What I love is this real, tangible puzzle of helping you find the voice and confidence and craft you need to write the project burning inside of you. This is so important to me that I started my own writing biz. Now it’s just you and me and your writing. I want to get you into your project with joy and support and curiosity.
We start with a free consult, and we can talk about the sketchiest dreams of writing, or we will talk about your almost finished book. We will always celebrate your desire to write, your will to write, and your right to write.
Hourly rate for Zoom consults, reading, and personalized prompts developed just for your project!
COACHING PACKAGES
3 Week Exploratory Writing Package
Have a vague sense of a writing project you want to create? I will help you take the first steps. We open with a mapping call, where I ask you questions to find the project you are interested in writing. Next, I’ll send you prompts designed uniquely for your idea. You write in a blaze of exploration, giving yourself lots of permission to try anything. You send me the pages you’ve written, and I read them and email a second set of prompts made for you. We meet for an hour on Zoom conversation, and talk about your pleasures, difficulties, and the next steps.
3 Week Cycle includes: 2 Zoom Conversations with Frankie, up to 10 pages of reading, 2 sets of prompts= $999
6 Week Writing Project Package
Have a baby start or a great start, but you don’t know where to take it from here? Let’s look at the impulse that got you to this point and figure out where to go next. I’ll read the sections you have written. Next, I’ll send you prompts designed uniquely for your idea. You suffer a bout of uncanny writing joy as the prompts reinvigorate the material, and you have a flurry of fresh ideas. You send me the new pages you’ve written, gush to me about new ideas, and I read them and create a second set of prompts made for you along with any craft tips you need for development. We meet for an hour on Zoom conversation, setting up a structure for you to continue working on your own.

8 Week Whole Book Review Package
You’ve drafted a book, maybe a few friends or family members have read it, but you can no longer see it or perceive it, because it’s been inside you too long, or you’ve revised it so many times, or you have a list of worries about it, and you need a knowledgeable mentor to lead you into your own book.
In this cycle, I will read the book, write you a book description, answer a list of specific questions or concerns and offer a review of elements such as structure, character development, point of view, dialogue, themes, etc. I will provide direction on craft elements that need to be sharpened and create a set of specific tasks to direct you into your next draft.

Overcoming Fear and Embracing Creativity
A significant part of Frankie’s coaching involves helping writers overcome common fears such as impostor syndrome and the fear of being selfish. She encourages writers to give themselves permission to write and highlights the therapeutic benefits of creative expression.
“People often struggle with the fear of being selfish. They don’t realize that spending time on their creativity is a boon to the rest of us. The more people think, understand, and reflect, the better community members they become,” she says.
