You’ve found a writing buddy and coach who understands your obsession with Jane Austen (or obsessions in general*)
*My other obsessions include Taylor Swift, true crime and perfume
Kia ora,
I’m Frances (she/they), a weird neurodiverse nerd who is obsessed with Jane Austen. I “do” a lot of things, but mostly help people embrace their weirdness to enjoy life. I also write books, have a podcast and run the Jane Austen Society. We can write together, discuss Jane Austen or do some coaching.

(It may look like a bible but that book is the complete works of Jane Austen, my bible.)
I live in Lower Hutt/Te Awa Kairangi, Aotearoa New Zealand (but we’ll meet online) and am of Te Whanau ā Apanui and Irish descent.
If you’re an author, Austenite, neurodiverse or just think we’d vibe, I’d love to work with you on integrating your passions into your every day. I trained as a life coach with Beautiful You. I also offer hybrid sessions (which are like coaching and a writing session in one) or you can register for pro bono coaching.
Pātai? Want me to speak on Jane Austen or writing? contact me.
Frances
