Project Coaching, Substantive Development, and Editing
Is there a story inside of you? Do you feel a passionate yearning to write a novel? A memoir? A collection of poetry? Perhaps you don't know how to start, or you've started but can't finish. Perhaps you've lost confidence in the importance of the work.
I will help reignite the fire of your original inspiration and guide your project to completion, cheering you on when times get tough, providing step-by-step editorial suggestions, offering submission advice and help with query letters and proposals.
Author Page Lambert grew up in the Colorado mountains, where she fell in love with harebells, wild onions, and gangly ponderosas. In her teens, she courted the North Platte River, cottonwood trees, horses and frogs. She's been "writing nature" since the mid-80s, when she moved to a small ranch in the Black Hills of Wyoming. A presenter of over 260 seminars, workshops, and conferences, in 2015 she designed and began teaching "The Writing Life," a foundation course for the MLA Program in Creative Writing at the University of Denver's University College.
Page Lambert designs and teaches graduate writing courses for the University of Denver's Master's Program in Professional Creative Writing.
