Coaching & support for writing and life

Picture
If you are looking for an encouraging teacher and writing mentor, you’ve come to the right place. As a professional writer of poems, essays, and hybrid things, I offer one-on-one sessions and manuscript reviews for writers of creative prose, memoir, and poetry plus a variety of classes, workshops, and writing retreats.

​
For both writers and non-writers, I also offer personal coaching with issues like procrastination, time management, the Inner Critic, and more. As a professional certified coach, I work with all kinds of people. Some are simply looking to add more ease and creativity in their lives, others want to enhance their careers or design a purposeful retirement, and many who aspire to turn their writing dream into reality. 

Let’s talk about how we can work together to overcome your barriers and advance your creative pursuits.

TRACE has been selected by Kirkus Reviews as one of 
Best Indie Books of 2020!

Only 100 books - just 7 of which are poetry - made the list and Kirkus reviews thousands of book through their Indie program each year! 
"In this debut poetry collection, Figg kindles broken, dying embers into a roaring memorial for the voiceless.... Figg’s poetic timing is spot-on, and her lines, though often dark, remain powerfully musical....Hauntingly beautiful pieces that will leave deep impressions."
  ~ Kirkus starred review


Here's a featured interview with me in the May 15 Kirkus!
