Welcome to Write Forward Coaching!

Hi! I’m Sam, and I have been an avid reader since childhood. Books have been a source of comfort, wonder, wisdom, entertainment, and adventure my whole life. They are my favorite topic of conversation and my go-to activity. I have always enjoyed writing, but as much as I love it, I have always enjoyed editing even more. I love seeing a work in progress take shape and my dream has always been to work with writers.

A little about me - I live in Louisville, KY, with my husband and two daughters. I moved around a lot growing up but attended high school in Louisville. I then went to Texas Tech where I earned my degree and met my husband. A few years ago we settled our family in Louisville. We have a bunny named Sherlock and a dog named Bailey. I freelanced as a content writer and editor for business websites and I used to run a book review website with my oldest sister before I began book coaching. I am certified as a fiction book coach by Author Accelerator.

The number one rule in my family and in my coaching business is honesty. I do not lie even when the truth is difficult and you can always expect me to give you actionable feedback steps to improve your work. I won’t give you bad news and then leave you hanging. I’ll give you the tools and support to elevate your work. I firmly believe that you are the architect and boss of your story - I will never bully or push you into changes that you do not agree with wholeheartedly.
