I’m Waverly Fitzgerald, a Seattle-based writing teacher, writer and writing coach. I love working with writers to help them achieve their writing goals.

Writer
I wrote my first novel when I was 13. My third novel was published by Doubleday when I was 25. I just completed my seventh: a detective novel set in Seattle. I also write personal essays about tango dancing and non-fiction articles about seasonal holidays, as well as content for my web site.

Teacher
I love teaching writing almost as much as I love writing. I teach writing classes throughout the Seattle area. I've also been a guest speaker at regional writing conferences.

Writing Coach
As a writing coach, I meet with my Seattle clients in coffee shops and work with writers across the United States via mail and email. I've been editing and coaching writers for over 20 years.

Articles
Read about writing heresy, time and the writer, writing rituals and other articles on writing by Waverly.

My Life as a Publisher:

“When I first got a business license in the State of Washington, I said my business was publishing, because I was publishing a book of compiled essays about seasonal holidays I had written for the New Times. I named my publishing company Priestess of Swords Press (in the tarot, the Priestess of Swords represents mastery of written language).

The following year, my daughter and I collaborated on a book of stories about our dog and cat. I wrote down the stories I had been telling her at night and she illustrated them. We called it the Adventures of Chester and Faithfull.”
