I'm Vicky


I'm a writer, ghostwriter, editor, and writing coach. I've written over forty full-length novels for my clients, and I've helped many more writers polish their books to a high shine. The thing I love most of all, though? Helping new writers achieve their dreams and awaken the writer within. (And cheese. I like cheese a lot too.)

Vicky is very professional and well prepared in the workshops she delivers. She patiently discusses and explains new material in a manner that even those of us new to writing can understand. Vicky ensures that constructive positive criticism and encouragement is given at all times. She is a joy to work with.

Lily O. L.

Vicky came at the perfect time for me. She has helped me each step of the way, and I wouldn't have got as far as I have without her! Her encouragement and teachings have helped me improve and feel confident in my writing and myself. I recommend Novice to Novelist to anyone starting out with nothing but an idea and a dream!

Judi C.

Vicky has become vital to keeping me on track, hitting deadlines, and working through plot structures. She brings joy to the writing process, lots of hand-holding, and above all, structured critique. I love having Vicky as my mentor. I can't recommend her enough.

Malika G.

Working with Vicky has been excellent and so valuable! She's taught me so many skills, thus improving my writing and making me think about my characters, emotions, and how to show and not tell! She is always there for me and has encouraged me. She is patient and very thorough with her editing of my WIP. I can't recommend her enough!
