My background as a journalist, marketer and award-winning author leaves me uniquely positioned to help other writers hone their craft and realize their dreams. I know how difficult it is to get published. How hard it is to catch an editor or agent’s attention. I’ve travelled that same road and encountered those same obstacles. I have the rejection letters to prove it.

It takes guts and determination. Solid training in story craft. An unshakeable confidence and belief in your own unique voice, the most important thing you have in a crowded marketplace.

One of my greatest joys is helping other authors attain their dreams. I can teach you the things I’ve learned and accelerate your own path toward publication, by helping you craft the most marketable story possible, one which will have editors and readers hooked from page one.

I look forward to working with you!

Jennifer Hayward is the queen of the black moment. Our brainstorm sessions help me dig deep into the characters and find the most powerful, satisfying conclusion to my story.”
I've always admired Jennifer's talent as an author, and reading one of her novels is like a mini writing course. She nails characterization, pacing, and plot development, and she crafts sparkling dialogue like the writing guru she is. With Jennifer in my writing corner, I was able to ensure my story was the best it could be. She helped me see the forest through the trees, patiently pointing out weaknesses, inconsistencies, and areas where I could make my story stronger. Now I have four published novels to my credit, and I'm working on a fifth with a goal of selling it to Harlequin.”

“Jen is my longest running sounding board and I would be lost without her! She is always there on the other side of my computer screen or phone line to talk through plot points and brainstorm with me when I'm stuck. When I was writing From Enemies to Expecting, I needed a unique way to get my cosmetic industry marketing executive and my billionaire baseball team owner together and boy did Jen deliver. (the lemonade stand scene is still one of my favorites) I can't think of someone better suited to coach a writer to The End--and beyond!”
