Hi! I’m Joanne.
Welcome to Shelf Life.

I help writers in revision who struggle with story structure get their manuscripts to a pitch-ready draft.

I’ve always believed that books have staying power. And I’ve also always believed in the power of that voice inside each of us that has something to say. My mission is to help you harness your muse using pitch-perfect story structure so your book has staying power, or (said another way) a long and healthy shelf life.

Don’t let bad structure mute your muse.
