Writer. Coach. Editor.

I’m Maurene Janiece—I'm a writer by passion, a memoir and nonfiction coach by training, and a recovering perfectionist.

Yes, I’m still writing the book. No, it’s not done yet.

I write stories that start with a mess and end with meaning.

You can find my work in Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Miracle of Love, plus a stack of how-to and educational books that prove I actually can finish things. My current project is a memoir about moving back into my childhood home — complete with 24 years of my father's hoarded junk.

(Spoiler: I almost lost my marriage, my sobriety, and my sanity. But I found my story.)

These days, I channel all that experience (and caffeine) into coaching women who are writing their own brave, beautiful, messy stories, from memoir to hybrid to self-help, with empathy and compassion.

Writing’s hard.

Coaching helps.

I help purpose-driven writers make sense of their memoir or message so they can shape their experiences into a meaningful book.

You know that line between “this is brilliant” and “what am I even doing”? Writing a book can make you question everything. I’ve been there, more than once. That’s why I coach writers through the mess, with compassion, caffeine, and a clear plan.

I coach from experience. I’ve been in the stuck, the self-doubt, and the almost-done-but-not-yet phase. That’s why I help writers push through — with clarity, courage, and a little tough love.

“One of the most beautiful things about working with you on my memoir was feeling seen and heard. You gave me the gift of acceptance and validation. And the result of that creates a ripple effect for self-acceptance and confidence building.”
