About Us
Mission
Of primary importance, we aim to build a community of mutual support and connection for authors at every stage of their careers. Additionally, we will offer an array of professional services to assist them in navigating the various aspects of being a professional author.
Vision
We are building a community of authors using various platforms and a monthly newsletter where writers can turn for understanding and support regarding the unique needs and challenges of being a professional author where no one has to feel alienated. In addition to creating and moderating these community spaces, we offer professional services for authors at every stage of their careers. With individual coaching sessions, group classes about various topics, such as paths to publication, marketing, and promotion, and services such as editing and packages of social media images and videos, we have a well-rounded offering for writers.
Values
We are dedicated to upholding standards of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Not only do we honor a writer’s identity, experiences, and truth, but we help fine-tune individual authors’ voices as a means of sharing their stories from their perspective.
Intellectual Property and Confidentiality
WriteWorks champions the sovereign rights of its clients and community members concerning their intellectual property and any information they may choose to share. Any work(s) shared with team members or coaches representing WriteWorks will be considered the author’s sole property, will not be shared or discussed outside of the WriteWorks team, and will only be addressed within the team with a client’s permission when it would benefit the client or his manuscript. These may include, but are not limited to, copyrights, patents, trade secret rights, and other intellectual property rights associated with any ideas, concepts, techniques, inventions, processes, works of authorship, confidential information, or trade secrets. Any conversations with the client are also treated as confidential, even when not in writing. WriteWorks retains no ownership or control of a manuscript during or after working with a client and will never be saved, stored, or shared by WriteWorks when a project is completed.
Tracey Love
Tracey guides her coaching with the belief that storytelling is healing. With a focus on the structure of fiction, her objective is to help authors become empowered to find their literary voice and share it with the world.
Jennifer Fay Smith
Jennifer comes at coaching from a much different background. Jennifer started college pursuing computer programming (yes, another language). Ultimately, however, her desire to understand human psychology and communication led her to be a linguist. Now she works with nonprofits, writes, and creates art.
C.R. ‘Chelsea’ Jones
There has never been a time in my life when I haven’t been writing. I received an associate’s degree in creative writing in 2015 and began working on several novels afterward. I have two Queer Romantasy/Sci-Fi novels published, with the third coming in late 2025. I have also started my first YA series, which will launch in 2026.
Christa Hickcox

Skye Erikson
I have had a burning passion for reading and storytelling since I was very young; though I pursued my English degree for three and a half years after high school, I struggled with personal and financial issues which led to me to drop out in early 2010. Despite being deeply discouraged for over a decade thereafter, I didn’t let it stop me from chasing my bookish dreams eventually!
D.H. ‘Dee’ Myers
I am an author working on my debut novel while juggling a full-time career in IT, working as WriteWorks’ resident Director of IT, and raising two little ones as a solo parent. I have a passion for horror/romance literature and aspire to be a master of the genre that can offer insight for those with a love for the art of the genre. All the while, helping make sure WriteWorks runs smoothly for all involved!
