Coaching
Jumpstart your creative practice.
Whether you’re writing a novel, making a career pivot, seeking an editorial collaboration, or simply looking to improve your mindset, my coaching can help you with your creative work.
Submit your manuscript and a brief summary of any questions you have/struggles you’re experiencing. I’ll read the manuscript with these questions in mind, then deliver an evaluative feedback letter addressing your questions. We’ll discuss on a 90-minute Zoom call. Apply here.
❋ Manuscript EvaluationsThis includes all of the basic manuscript evaluation services plus sentence-level line edits.
(Ideal for finished manuscripts on 2nd or 3rd revision or those seeking representation with an agent.) Apply here.
❋ Editorial EvaluationsDon’t have a finished manuscript draft yet? Still want personalized writing help, or just want to chat?
Book an Office Hours session with me for an open-minded, wide-ranging conversation.
❋ Office HoursConquer fear, get unstuck, and explore the themes that matter to you most. My writing classes offer the technical training I provided my MFA students combined with out-of-the-box thinking you’ll only encounter outside the halls of academe. Subscribe on Substack to be first to know.

What Clients Are Saying
“Raf is so helpful and smart. She has pushed me to develop my voice. She gave me the confidence to write creatively in directions that I wouldn’t have been brave enough to pursue without her encouragement!”
— Claire, writer of Irreplicable
“Raf gave me excellent editorial review, but her insight goes beyond craft. She understands how art and life intersect and influence each other, and offered me laser-focused exercises to help me unstick myself in both. Thank you for kindly and honestly pushing me to nurture my own voice!”
— kate davis jones, ghostwriter at Truancy Writing and writer of Recurrent Concussion
