About

Thank you for visiting my website! You’ve come to the right place if you want to get better at legal writing.

I’m a lawyer turned legal writing coach, but a teacher and mother at my core. I adore nurturing both new and not-so-new legal writers.

Before doing what I do now, I spent 20 years working in Big Law. I wrote for demanding partners, and we did high-stakes, complex, motion-heavy litigation. I wrote briefs, blogs, letters, client alerts, long-form articles, appeals, and everything in between. I also served as co-editor for two firm blogs and taught internal CLE’s on legal writing. In the process, I got trained by some of the best legal writers in the business.

In 2021, I branched out on my own & formed Writing Law Tutors LLC. Since then, my focus has been on improving the legal writing experience of lawyers & law students everywhere.

📕 To that end, I have an Amazon best-seller, “Dear 1L: Notes to Nurture a New Legal Writer,” that you can get here: amazon.com/dp/B0D726J7RQ

🔹 For lawyers and law students: You know me from my Dear 1L & Dear Legal Writer letters. I bring the same enthusiasm to my coaching sessions. I’d love to help you on your journey to becoming a super-powered legal writer.

> I offer an original, 4-week, 1:1 course that’s designed to refresh your writing fundamentals and bolster your overall writing confidence. You will write for me each week, and I will give you line-by-line suggestions with clear explanations. You also get a handy editing tool that’s easy to remember and apply, and in the end, a roadmap for continued self-study.

🔹 For law firms: Contact me to teach a CLE or half-day workshop for attorney groups (live or by Zoom).

All of my teaching is designed to promote clearer, more concise, and more persuasive writing.

🔹 For pre-law students: Contact me for help with your law school personal statement and other application essays, and then sign up for my pre-L summer cohort.
