go from stalled to published
writing coaching that helps you find your voice, complete your projects, and achieve your creative dreams
Hi! I’m Jaime, an author and writing coach.
I help talented but struggling writers work through their creative challenges and reach writing success.
the writers i help
You might be a good fit for my coaching if:
It’s often difficult for you to find the time, space, and focus to write.
You tend to be self-critical and struggle to complete projects.
Your current writing project is stalled out or moving at a snail’s pace.
You battle perfectionism, creative anxiety, and/or imposter syndrome.
You are writing fiction or memoir.
Do any of the statements above describe you? If so, guess what?
At one time, they were all true for me as well.
I spent years delving into the source of my writing blocks, and with the help of much research, coaching, and therapy, finally overcame them.
I eventually transformed myself from a writer who hardly wrote at all to a writer who’s completed three novels and signed a two-book deal with a major publishing house.
I now offer tailored, insightful writing guidance that helps writers like you achieve creative breakthroughs, step into their authentic writing identities, and reach writing success.

“Before Jaime’s coaching program, I felt uncertain as a writer. now, I've not only completed a manuscript and nonfiction book proposal that I'm happy with, but I also feel confident and prepared as I begin to query agents."

"I learned how to write with more of a sense of curiosity—now I feel like I’m uncovering my story, rather than forcing it out. The book feels real to me now, and I know that by writing consistently, I can finish it."
Rachel Ortega
my story
Back in 2012, I was well and truly blocked in my writing process. I was working as a middle-school English teacher, felt disconnected from my creative self, and was downhearted about ever making my writing dreams a reality.
It took me about a decade to work through the practical and psychological challenges that cropped up when I decided I wanted to become a professional novelist.
Through much hard work and self-development, I learned how to finish my manuscripts and submit with confidence and equanimity—and finally landed the publishing deal of my dreams.
Now, in my work as a writing coach, my extensive writing experience and deep insight into creative blocks has allowed me to help writers achieve in months what it took me almost a decade to do.
If you’ve spent a long time putting your creative dreams on the backburner and are now eager to prioritize your creative self and see real results emerge from your efforts, I’d love to connect.
