Have you ever wanted more time, a time-turner or a DeLorean?
Most author’s struggle to sit down to write. I provide personal support and tools to help you find the time you didn’t know you had. Together, let’s make you the hero of your writing life and not only start, but finish that novel!
What makes Novel Bound different?
I’m not here to turn you into someone else’s version of a writer.
As a crime fighter by day and crime writer by night, I know how hard it is to find the time, and energy, to focus on writing. I coach authors because I refuse to let great stories die in a busy schedule; I provide the blueprint and accountability for writers to consistently carve out time, complete their novel, and finally launch their creative legacy.

What I Can’t Help You With
Ghostwriting - I'm unable to write your story for you
Finding and agent or a publisher (I can recommend where to start looking/how to start your search)
Professional editing services (A professional is who you need beyond the very basic developmental feedback I can give)
Create your website (I'm not the most technical person, and there are YouTube tutorials and other professionals who can help with this)
PR, publicity or direct marketing of your book
Providing the ultimate thing you need to do to solve all your writing/publishing problems (If there was an easy solution, we'd all be doing it)
WHAT SETS US APART
My "magic" is:
Empathy: Deep understanding of the emotional hurdles writers face.
Clarity: Breaking down complex writing strategies into actionable steps.
Developmental: Assessing your story from the perspective of an engaged reader to fix foundational issues before you pay for line editing.
“Recently I contacted Natasha for her expertise in fraud and writing thrillers to ensure plausibility for scenes in my manuscript. Her insight and knowledge of both fraud and novel writing were invaluable. I would never have gotten this level of insight elsewhere. She was supportive and professional. I highly recommend her services.”
