My Story

MacKenzie is a developmental editor and certified book coach who especially enjoys working with neurodivergent writers. With over a decade of experience supporting writers of various genres and skill levels, her expertise is of particular use to novelists who lead with character, have at least one full draft, and seek to clarify and shape their work with intention and precision. 
 
MacKenzie incorporates special interests in neuroscience and psychology into her approach to story craft, character development, creative practices, and coaching itself. 
She primarily coaches through dialogue—typed or spoken, scheduled or asynchronous—first collaborating with writers to deepen their understanding of their work before offering bespoke instruction, tools, strategies, industry tips, and warm encouragement to fulfill their creative vision.
