Hi, I'm Cecilia

I’m a Novel Navigator.

I’m a science fiction author, ‘The Alien Eve’, and have poetry and short stories in two anthologies.

For over a decade, I’ve facilitated and supported writers, one-to-one and in creative and novel writing groups.

I help Novel Dreamers write their novels and avoid
the FECC-ing iWARs*
*Female Expected Conformance Culture (or just ECC) MEETS the Impossible Writing Achievement Regulations

The ‘who you think you need to be or have’ before you write a novel (and it’s not what you think!)

I help you navigate away from self-doubt and hesitation toward a wise and wild self on your novel writing journey.

This is for Novel Dreamers.
For your novel.
