About this Service

I support individuals to reach their writing goals - be it acing an English exam; writing a perfect college essay; pitching stories to media outlets and literary editors; or developing, completing and pitching a manuscript for publication.

We meet on an hourly basis - usually one hour a week - within a program specially designed for you to reach your goals. We begin with a free half-hour call where I listen carefully and ask clarifying questions to determine your goals for mentoring, coaching or tutoring and your availability and preferences for time and cost.

I then propose a program of one-hour meetings for working steadily on your goals for your consideration and, if you want to proceed, we take it from there.

About this Lister

I'm a freelance writer, researcher, journalist and mentor/coach with a PhD in Gender & Cultural Studies (University of Sydney, Australia) and over 20 years of professional experience.

I'm based in San Cristóbal de las Casas in the south of Mexico where I live in a little house in the forest with my cat, Gary. I visit New York from time to time where I love to meet clients and students IRL.

Background and Expertise

My reporting and essays have been published in Ms. magazine, Foreign Policy, Guernica, Al-Jazeera English, The Nation, and Overland journal. I also have an academic publication record, with research published in Decolonization of Criminology and Justice, Australian Feminist Studies, and Cultural Studies Review.

I have worked as a women's refuge support worker, policy analyst, university lecturer, classroom teacher, researcher, editor, and translator for organizations in Australia, the US, Brazil, Mexico and Honduras. This wide and diverse experience has finely honed the listening, assessment and advisory skills that are essential to providing expert support as a coach or mentor. It also means I have a vast range of information and networks that informs my tailored approach to ensuring the success of each individual that I support.

I am intuitive and enthusiastic and I take great joy in seeing the people I work with smash their goals! I have been coaching and mentoring since 2016, working with PhD students, novelists, high school students, journalists, and academics in the US, Australia and Mexico.
