DISCOVER YOUR UNMISTAKABLE VOICE
As well as a business writer, I am a creative writer, and enjoy dabbling in essays and memoir, poetry and plays.
I am an accountability partner and guide for people who already write, and for people who want to write and are looking to find their voice on the page in a personal writing project. Define and set achievable writing milestones to get the work done.
Discover different outlines and structures in which to frame your writing work.
Dig deeper and go beyond the everyday to express your authentic voice.
Recognize your writing strengths and hone your style.
Overcome imposter syndrome and writer’s block.
WRITING COACHING PROCESS
Set or reset your writing project intentions, and articulate achievable writing project goals and deadlines.
We work together in live edit, meaning, we meet online with your words and ask big questions—What is this about? What is this really about?
We perfect sentences, examine how to incorporate craft tools, such as metaphor and imagery, scene, detail and dialogue. Editing “on the spot” means you walk away after every writing coaching session with forward momentum. Over the course of our sessions, we work together towards a finished product you are proud to read to an audience, or send off into the world.

A Life Hiatus
“Working with Carmen is an absolute pleasure. Not only is she an excellent writer who produces high quality content very quickly but she is also highly responsive, flexible with her process and very easy to work with. She continuously goes above and beyond to churn out creative and informative writing no matter the topic, that stands out among the rest.”
— Jacquelyn Cardinal, Owner, Naheyawin
Carmen was able to ask thought-provoking questions, she listened, and she put her creative genius to work to draw out authentic story about “who we are” which became the anchor and common thread that weaved throughout my company website. In addition to her writing talent, Carmen’s process was smooth and swift, and she was able to meet every deadline I requested. For all my writing projects, Carmen is my go to.”
