Are you a mom who’s always dreamt of being a writer, but you don’t quite feel like yourself after motherhood?

Maybe finishing the novel of your dreams will help you feel like yourself again.

  • Do you yearn to finish a novel but worry no one will be interested in your story?

  • Are you a BIPOC mom who wants your kid to grow up knowing that dreams can come true and their stories matter?

  • Are you juggling a busy job with a hectic family life, but you keep being drawn to your writing?

Maybe it’s time you finally give yourself the support you give to everyone else, and let your novel help you feel like yourself again after the chaos of motherhood.

In 1:1 coaching, you’ll go from:

  • doubting your story idea is any good, to confident that someone out there will love what you’ve written

  • afraid to call yourself a writer, to shouting it from the rooftops because you’re so excited about your book

  • daydreaming about your story to finally finishing the novel of your dreams

All with the support of an experienced writer and new mom who knows exactly what you’re going through.

Hi, my name is Josee, and I will help you finish the novel of your dreams.

I’ve been a writer for as long as I could read, crafting my own stories based on the books that filled my shelves and kept me up late at night. As I grew up, I devoured as many books as I could at the library, always coming up with my own twist that I’d scribble down in my journals.

But as I got older, I started to notice that the characters in the books I was reading weren’t actually like me.

They didn’t look like me. They didn’t have my dark skin, or thick curly hair, or dark brown eyes. I tried my hardest to seek out books with characters that looked like me, written by authors who looked like me, but it wasn’t always easy.

Throughout all of this, I kept up my writing, even as I was told over and over that people didn’t really make it as authors. It was a pipe dream.

But I knew I had a story I wanted to tell.

In 2021, my dream finally became a reality: I went from daydreaming about my stories, researching different writing strategies online, and starting and stopping many novels, to finally finishing a novel I was proud of. And I made sure my characters looked like me and like the people in my life.

As a mom, I keep writing because I want my kids to know that dreams do come true. 

And now I’m a book coach.

I help Black and brown working moms gain confidence as writers and finally achieve their childhood dreams. In 1:1 coaching, the writers I work with finish the novel of their dreams and establish writing practices that they can sustain for the rest of their life, regardless of how busy their day job or family life gets.

As an Author Accelerator certified coach, I specialize in helping working moms learn their story matters and build the kind of creative practice they can sustain for the rest of their lives.

I’ll be your editor, cheerleader, and therapist as you dive into the messy, thrilling world of writing a novel.
