Working with Pollyanna was like opening a door I didn’t know I’d closed. I came to her with a sprawling story and a fire in my belly, knowing the tale needed telling, but not quite sure how to begin weaving it into something others could hold.
Her Birth Your Book session wasn’t just professional development, it was a deep, intuitive listening. Pollyanna brought curiosity, clarity, and care. She didn’t rush to diagnose or restructure; instead, she invited me to slow down, go deeper, and listen again to my own inner voice. She reflected back not only the themes and emotional undercurrents of my story but also the why beneath the words, this aching, the fierce desire to reconnect people with what matters: each other, the Earth, and themselves.
Pollyanna has a rare gift. She makes the invisible threads visible. The longing, the struggle, the strange and sacred beauty of the journey. I walked across a continent, but she helped me realise that the book is an inner pilgrimage too. Her guidance illuminated where my story wasn’t just about walking Australia, but about walking each moment as a woman, a mother, and seeker. She helped me realise that how I tell this matters just as much as what I tell.
If you have a story inside you that’s raw, alive, and aching to be shared, Pollyanna will meet you there with presence, with wisdom, and with a fierce gentleness that honours both you and the work.
Highly recommend.

Why Work With Me?
When we work together on your book, you develop a deeper understanding of yourself, your writing and your motivators. We tease out the key elements so that you can write and finish your book, enjoy the process and feel really satisfied that you’ve expressed all that wants to come through you.
I hold a safe, confidential and creative container for your true expression to emerge. I support you with creative and technical insight. I walk the path with you, providing encouragement, accountability, and cheerleading.
I have been trying to bend the shape of reality with words since I was a tiny girl. My zealous teacher mother taught me read at 2 years old. I started copiously writing not long after that – poetry, stories, cartoon strips, imaginary meeting minutes and magazines!
I’ve written five books across different genres, published three, and have been editing for all of my professional life (over three decades!). One of my books – The Relationship Revelation – won a gold medal in the Living Now Independent book awards.
A decade of intuitive life coaching experience, combined with being an award-winning author and editor, means I can offer you more than most. You’ll receive bespoke support that’s rooted in integrity, deep listening, and a heartfelt desire for you to achieve your writing vision.
Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between the Breakthrough Session and the Birth Your Book Program
If you’ve already started your book but you’re stuck at a specific point, a Breakthrough Session will help you to access the creativity and clarity to keep writing. If you are about to begin a book, and want a preliminary deep dive to orient yourself to the key elements of your story, who you’re writing for and what’s motivating you, a Breakthrough Session is great.
On the other hand, if you’re a first time author and would like the accountability, soundboarding and deeper exploration of the key elements of your story (any genre), structure, messaging, audience and more, the Birth Your Book 6 Week Program is more appropriate.
I’m here to help you complete your writing project. Let’s have a chat about what works for you.
I’m a seasoned writer, what can you offer me?
It’s always a pleasure to work with authors, no matter where you are in your writing journey. Unless you’re tackling a particularly large, unwieldy or out of your usual genre writing project, I suggest choosing the Breakthrough Session. This 90 minute session will help you get really clear on the key elements of your book, who you’re writing for, what’s motivating you and more. It can help you get unstuck, liberate blocked creativity, and align you with both your passion for your writing, and the story that wants to come through you.
If you feel you need ongoing accountability and bespoke support, the Birth Your Book 6 week program will help you find the clarity, authenticity and motivation to finish your writing project.
What if I’m a first time author?
I love working with authors who are writing their first book. If you’re super clear about what you’re writing, how to structure it, and who you’re writing for, a Breakthrough Session is likely all you need. If you’d love to have ongoing support and accountability where you can dive deeply into your themes and messages, structure, audience, motivation and much more, the Birth Your Book 6 week program is for you.
What genres do you work with?
All genres are welcome! As a writer, I’m focused primarily on non fiction, memoir, children’s books and fantasy. As an editor, I’ve worked with business writing, children’s books, fantasy, memoir and more. As an avid reader, I read memoir, educational, inspirational, personal development, and fiction (most genres).
If you’re not sure if I’m the right person to support you in your writing, please book a call with me and we can see if we’re aligned.
What’s your position on AI?
I don’t work with AI generated manuscripts. They’re usually bland, generic and lack the hooks and heart that humans really enjoy. That doesn’t excite me!
If you’re just using AI to help with grammar and spelling, that’s OK. Just make sure that your unique writing voice is maintained.
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept various payment methods, including PayPal and bank transfers.
