about us

Hey! We’re Golden May’s co-founders and book coaches.

Years ago, in the days before COVID, we met on Twitter through the #WritingCommunity hashtag. As fantasy writers, we immediately hit it off through beta reading each other’s work, which evolved into critique partnering, and then a mutual fascination with writing craft. We become obsessed with learning a) how stories worked, and b) how writers’ mindsets could help or harm their progress. Together we dove head first into book coaching and editing training, which ultimately resulted in Golden May.

While growing our writing, business, and families over the last couple of years we’ve learned three critical things:

  1. It’s impossible to see the holes in your own work
  2. Learning together is infinitely more productive than learning alone
  3. The most fulfilled writers are those who’ve figured out how to make writing craft and process work for their own unique brains and lives

At Golden May, we offer one-on-one coaching, a life-time access writing program, and regular workshops/events. We love working with fiction writers in MANY genres—especially those who write in fantasy, romance, sci-fi, historical, and contemporary works for all ages.

If you’re ready to stop fighting what your writing life ‘should’ look like and start dreaming about what’s possible for you, join us!
