Writer Coaching

I coach writers to transform messy drafts into finished work they’re proud to publish.

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.

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.

When we work together, you’ll get insightful developmental feedback, a practical roadmap and much-needed accountability.

You will finally be able to move from creation to production, and proudly share your story with the world. No draft left behind!

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.

So why work with me?

I love writing, have been writing since I can remember, which is probably the same for you. But I realized that I also really love helping out fellow writers who have the same 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 and holds monthly workshops and occasional writing retreats.

As a freelance journalist, I’ve been in the biz for over 15 years, writing often about travel, sustainability and emerging tech. I’ve placed articles in top consumer publications — The New York Times, WIRED UK, WSJ, National Geographic, BBC Travel, Fast Company, Fodor’s, etc — and also in major trade magazines. I’ve also written online and print content for many national and global brands.

Here’s what happy clients have said about my coaching:

“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.
