Hello. I’m Brie.
I help people write. Do you have an idea for a book? Do you need help crafting engaging, impactful content for your business? I have guided first-time authors through the process of writing and publishing with some of the biggest publishing houses in the business. Let’s talk.
My Approach
Collaborative
I work with you, not without you. You lead, and I follow, directing where necessary. This is your vision, and our plan—together.
Structured
I help you determine the basics: audience, tone, word count, table of contents, and other structural elements of your book or written content. We craft a schedule, and stick to it.
Innovative
We determine the best formats, deliveries, and promotional plans for your writing to make it seen, heard, and known. We zero in on the latest media strategies that fit your message and purpose. We understand that AI can be a useful and powerful tool, but ultimately any substantial writing with real impact needs to be written by a human.
Who I Am
A Published Author
My own labor of love was published in 2017. I have several publications with Simon & Schuster, one of the “Big 5” publishing houses. I specialize in health & wellness, self-help, psychology, and how-to topics, but am versatile and can handle a variety of fields.
A Professional Writer
I have written for Emmy-award winning productions at WGBH, Boston’s local PBS station and largest media producer, crafting award-winning children’s and adult programming, and produced miles of content for powerhouses in the EdTech field.
A Listener and Guide
Above all, I pride myself on being a listener and “shadower.” If you have a dream, I can be the force behind it, building it block by block.
… I’m Also a Keen Observer of the Written Word and What Makes People Tick
I have a B.A. (Boston University) and M.A. (UMASS Boston) in English Literature, and was on the Editorial Board of the Thoreau Society for several years.
I am also a professional Jyotishi with the Council of Vedic Astrology.

-New York Journal of Books
"I loved this book .... [Yoga for Children] literally combines several of my favorite children's yoga books in one place, but does so in a new and refreshing way. Truly this a well thought out, well written book aimed at parents but definitely invaluable to teachers looking to utilize yoga in the classroom or studio."
