Transforming Stories to the Page

One Word at a Time

Hi, I’m Rebecca.

Woman Smiling

I’m a Certified Author Accelerator fiction book coach who specializes in coaching fantasy, magical realism, and various subgenres of horror for adults and children (yes, kids love horror too), by helping authors from the scary blank page, to drafting and revision, to a complete manuscript. I love supporting writers through collaboration and brainstorming to help the words dance off the page.

Know Your Audience

The first step of storytelling is knowing who you’re speaking or writing to. 

With my help, you’ll learn to decipher how

  • Age
  • Interests
  • Experience Level
  • Attention Span

are the keys to grabbing your intended audience’s attention,  and keep it.

The Conflict of It All

Did you know the trick to conflict is creating a delicate balance between the protagonist and the villain?

Here are some tricks…

  • Protagonists need a desire, or what they want most in the world
  • Villains aren’t born; villains are made
  • Conflict leads to tension
  • Tension leads to suspense
  • Suspense rises out of conflict

Jager Jones Book Cover

Finding trusted readers and coaches is a must for writers learning how to advance their work. Rebecca is a pro with a deep understanding of character development, a broad knowledge of how plots are structured, and plenty of empathy for writers working through the many challenges posed by pesky manuscripts.

-Malayna Evans, Author of The Jagger Jones Series and Neferura

Rebecca is the kind of coach who yields results: she told me that my book needs to be out in the world, she told me what she loved about it, and then we got to work addressing the characters, scenes, and plotlines that could be better. Rebecca asks the right questions to make characters real and craft stories that stick to readers’ bones. If you’re in a spot where you need to get unstuck, or need a fresh set of eyes (and a fresh brain!), or you simply can’t put your finger on what’s missing from your story, you want Rebecca on your team!

-Amy Potts-Ostrowski, Middle-Grade Teacher

Rebecca has a keen eye for detail and an unparalleled ability to provide constructive feedback. Her Stoplight Strategy approach allowed me to navigate the complex landscape of my manuscript with clarity and purpose, and her advice on character development was game-changing, making my characters relatable and engaging for young readers.

Rebecca’s attention to detail, especially regarding real-world references and maintaining the story’s timeless quality, was spot on. Her insights on addressing loose ends and action scene flow were invaluable.

I am grateful for Rebecca’s expertise and the way she immersed herself in my manuscript, providing me with a roadmap to elevate my work. Her passion for storytelling shines.

-Angie Andriot, Artist, Writer, Editor, and Spiritual Director in Training

Malfunction Junction

It doesn’t matter what your favorite writing genre is…. fantasy, science fiction, historical fiction, romance, or mystery, Rebecca sees the larger picture. From the attention grabber opening line to a workable plot and even pacing, she’ll make sure everything flows well. With her eye for details, she’ll find those nagging problems others have missed. I’m thankful for all the help she has given me.

-Emily Elliff, Author of the Marty and Marie Cozy Mystery Series
