I help writers transform messy drafts into finished work they’re proud to publish.
I work with writers on novels, memoirs, short stories, essays
and other creative projects.
You know you have something worth finishing — but you don’t know how to move forward anymore. You’ve been busy, you’ve been stuck, you’ve been overwhelmed.
I will help you go from DRAFT TO DONE.
After you’ve been working too long on a draft, you lose perspective. That’s where I can help — I am good at seeing the shape of a piece, which allows me to understand how to guide you forward, how to overcome any obstacles, and how to regain your writing momentum to finally, finally get the draft done.
I can offer you honest and practical feedback, help you find and draw out the core message in your story, and also explore potential publishing opportunities that are most suitable to your work. You will be able to move from creation to production and proudly share your story with the world. No draft left behind!
I offer personalized coaching sessions because if you’ve already taken writing courses and read lots of writing advice books, it’s time to have someone next to you on your writing and publishing journey.

Testimonials
“I could not have published my novel without your insightful advice and upbeat support.” — Karen Havelin
“Your comments are FANTASTIC! So glad I didn’t submit without getting your thoughts. You’re an amazing critiquer. Anyone would be lucky to have you in their corner.” — Angie M.
“Oh my god. You are so awesome! (And I hate using the word awesome due to it’s overuse, so you are truly awesome!) Your instincts are dead on. Everything you’ve suggested is totally what I thought/felt. And even parts I wanted comments on/was wondering about, you got it! You got what I’m trying to get at overall! Thank you Suchi. I’m so happy I had you read this.” — Joe P.
“I HIGHLY recommend working with Suchi. Because of her feedback, the second pitch I ever sent as a freelance writer was accepted into Wired! Using her tips, I was able to have two more articles published by Wired as a brand-new freelance writer. I am beyond thankful for Suchi’s help!” — Gretchen R.
“I’ve been working with Suchi since 2024 on lead generation and pitching journalism pieces. I’ve always walked away with clarity and newfound enthusiasm from our calls. Our conversations have also helped me with finding new angles for articles and spotting story ideas. A travel essay of mine was accepted by a publication after I started working with her – a first for me. She loves seeing her clients succeed, and I highly recommend her coaching services.” –Kasun P.

Why work with me?
I love writing, have been writing since I can remember, which I’m sure is probably the same for you! But I realized that I also really love helping out fellow writers who have this strong desire to release the stories (fiction or nonfiction) within. My short stories and flash fiction have been published in various literary magazines in print and online. My first novel was longlisted for the Dzanc Books Diverse Voices prize, and my second novel is in the revisions stage!
I’ve been through the madness of the literary agent querying process, secured an agent at a top agency in NYC and went on submission with my novel to all the big publishing houses. I kept a travel blog back in my digital nomad days, and I currently run a couple of Substack publications. I also established a successful, in-person (IRL!) writing group for women in Buenos Aires that is still active after 3 years and meets weekly for feedback sessions, co-writing, holds workshops and occasional writing retreats.
For over 15 years, I’ve worked as a freelance journalist, writing often about travel, sustainability and emerging tech. I’ve placed articles in top consumer publications, including The New York Times, WIRED UK, WSJ, National Geographic, BBC Travel, Fast Company and Fodor’s. I also write for major trade magazines and create online and print content for various national and global brands.
I also work with freelance writers! Email me or book a discovery call for details

I offer a few different options to meet you where you are currently at in your writing progress. If you don’t see the kind of help you need, please ask me, and I can put together a special package deal (no obligation) just for you!
3 MONTHS TO GET IT DONE!
This is for writers who are ready to make their book a REAL PRIORITY AND FINALLY FINISH IT. If you’ve been working on your book for months or even years, you don’t need another writing course — you need someone who understands the work and can help you make smart decisions when things get fuzzy and overwhelming. Over 3 months, we will work together to break down the timeline into achievable goals and deal with whatever obstacles come up as you write your way to that beautiful end. Includes a realistic writing plan, written feedback, 1:1 calls (60 min) twice a month, with email support in between so you never lose momentum. Payment plans available.
CLARITY INTENSIVE
This is for writers who are STUCK, OVERWHELMED, or UNSURE OF WHERE TO GO NEXT. You send me up to 25 pages of your draft to read in advance, then during our 60 min call, we will get to the heart of what is happening with your work. I’ll help you see what exactly is getting you stuck, what are the strengths and weaknesses, and you will leave with clarity, a personalized roadmap and practical deadlines to help you move forward and closer to a finished draft.
PUBLISHING ROADMAP
This is for writers who are READY TO TAKE STEPS TOWARD PUBLICATION. Whether it’s querying literary agents and small presses, going the self-publishing route or submitting to literary magazines, we’ll explore your project, goals and options over a 60 min call. You’ll leave with a tailor-made publishing strategy and a clear understanding of which publication paths are worth pursuing and where to stop wasting your time.
