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.

Read Waverly's new article on:
Finding Your Readers:

“Writing is an act of communication and without an audience, the act is only half complete. Yet writers often fail to complete this cycle. I know I’m guilty of this.
 
Do any of these apply to you? They all describe me.

The Word Hoarder: You have complete articles, poems, maybe even books which have never been sent out

The Perfectionist: You’re still revising and will send your work out once it’s perfect

Need To Think About It: You received feedback on your work from an editor or your writing group, then filed the writing away uncertain how to proceed

Rejection Phobic: You received one or more rejections and have decided to shelve that piece of writing
