Claire Dwyer

I am a solidly Catholic spiritual director and experienced mentor and small group leader. I combine my experience as a developmental editor and writer myself with strong strategic coaching and spiritual direction skills to help you not only tell your story, but know it and embrace it in light of the story of salvation!  

You see, writing from a Catholic worldview, even if your writing isn't overly spiritual, is very different and benefits from a collaboration with someone who shares your perspective.

My background is Catholic spiritual theology and spiritual direction; my experience is helping writers and authors organize their ideas and tell their signature stories by asking the right questions and listening deeply: What has God done in your life?  Where is He leading you?  How have you responded?  What is He revealing to you about Himself and what is He asking you to communicate about His glory and His mercy and His truth to the world?

I desire to help free you, as a writer, to discover and unpack the deepest truths the God has revealed in your life and prayer, your sufferings and joys, and then help you to communicate them creatively and compellingly.

Over the past 25 years, I have worked as a graphic designer, production director, operations manager, and publishing coach in the Catholic publishing industry. I've been blessed to work with many wonderful Catholic authors, editors, designers, and printers. I especially love working with first-time authors and those who are ready to make the move to self-publishing. You can learn more about me, the work I do, and samples of my work by visiting my site Faith & Family Publications here.

I'd love to learn more about you and the project God has put on your heart!
