Hi , I‘m April
Let me help you unlock the magic of your story.
I work with novelists, memoirists, and screenwriters to design meaningful stories with depth and resonance.
I believe a story’s magic can flourish when an understanding of the principles of story structure and the stages of character development are balanced with a writer’s authentic voice and deepest values.
My retreats, classes, and coaching programs are designed to support writers to improve their writing skills and cultivate a mastery of storytelling principles so they can tell the stories they care about with greater confidence and clarity.
“April is such a gifted writing teacher and guide! There’s no way I would be as far along with my book without April’s incisive suggestions, superb sense of plotting, and constant encouragement.”
