1:1 Creative Clarity Sessions with Steph
A thoughtful, intuitive space to hear your own voice, find your lighthouse, and build a map to get there — together.
I'm allergic to the word "coaching." Creativity consultation? Editorial advising? Craft instructor? I landed on Creative Clarity Sessions — because that's really what this is: a space where I help you get out of your own way and let your voice lead.
I've spent over ten years facilitating writing workshops, editing personal essays, and producing Listen To Your Mother Boulder since 2016. My own writing has appeared in O Magazine, The Washington Post, Brain, The Belladonna Comedy, Mutha Magazine, Cosmopolitan.com, and the Chicken Soup for the Soul series, and I currently serve as Editor-in-Chief of the online literary magazine THREE. My memoir, Nostalgia Junkie, publishes in December 2026 with Third Rail Press.
Whatever brought you here, I can help you get unstuck, clarify the big picture, and work through the small details that are keeping your writing from feeling like yours.
What we'll work on
In a session together, we can focus on:
- Big-picture brainstorming for a larger project, a Substack column, a clearer writer's voice, or an About Me page that finally sounds like you.
- Workshopping a single essay or a series.
- Untangling the narrative arc of a larger work — an essay collection, a memoir, or a spoken presentation.
Every session includes:
- A short questionnaire up front to clarify your goals (with an optional 15-minute call if you'd like one).
- Your Zoom session (45, 90-minute, or Intuitive Creativity options).
- A follow-up email with a summary and next steps, so you leave with something concrete, not just a good conversation.
