Your ideas matter. But getting them out?
That’s the hard part.

Writing feels heavy. Speaking feels high-stakes.
Between deadlines and doubt, it’s easy to stall.

At Creating Curiosity, we help academics and professionals
turn deep thinking into clear, confident writing and presentations.

Coaching, editing, and creative tools
so you can move forward with purpose, clarity, and momentum.

How We Help

You’ve got the ideas. But shaping them into confident writing, or delivering them in high-stakes settings, can feel overwhelming.

That’s where we come in.
We offer personalized coaching and editing to help you clarify your thinking, organize your message, and communicate it with confidence on the page or on the stage.

Our Services

Writing Coaching

For writers developing book proposals, articles, or manuscripts. We help you organize your ideas, build sustainable writing rhythms, and move from stuck to submitted.

Developmental Editing

In-depth feedback to strengthen your manuscript’s structure, argument, and clarity—so your writing lands with the audience it deserves.

Speaking & Presentation Coaching

Support for academics and professionals preparing for talks, conferences, or keynotes. We help you organize, refine, and deliver with clarity and confidence.

Who We Help

We specialize in partnering with academics and early-career researchers who want to transform complex ideas into clear, compelling writing and presentations that advance their careers.

We work with academics and creative professionals, especially those in the early or stalled stages of writing, who want expert support to move their ideas forward.

Our clients are often:

  • Developing their first book proposal

  • Revising or finishing a book manuscript

  • Preparing for a high-stakes talk or public presentation

They don’t need more pressure or productivity hacks.
They need clarity, structure, and someone who gets what’s at stake.

We bring deep experience in academic writing, publishing, and public speaking, and we meet you where you are, with coaching and editing that helps you move from stuck to submitted.

Who We Are

We’re a two-person team with 25+ years of experience in academic publishing, writing, and performance coaching.

Together, we’ve:

  • Written and published 4 nonfiction books (and secured a literary agent for a 5th)

  • Worked with dozens of academics, researchers, and creative professionals

  • Helped clients speak with confidence, and build writing habits that last

We specialize in helping thoughtful people bring complex ideas to life, on the page and in the room. Whether you're pitching a book, shaping a manuscript, or preparing a talk, we bring care, clarity, and momentum to the process.
