Hi, I’m Faye—a writer + creative consultant and facilitator in Asheville, NC.

Whether you’re struggling with time, energy, focus, purpose, or making space to reclaim your creative joy—burnout is real and it’s not a problem you can solve on your own (no matter how hard you try).

Grow mighty in a community of peers who are regenerating from the ashes of burnout, one creative spark at a time with workshops that range from single events to multi-week series, parallel play, and community artists dates—there’s something new and fresh each season of the year.

I offer editorial services and publicity consults for authors, artists, and other creative entrepreneurs who want to hone their authentic writing voice, engage readers with short attention spans, and connect with hearts and minds during these divisive times.

Whether that’s polishing the marketing copy in your media kit or line sheet, crafting a newsworthy press release, creating a uniform style for communicating with your audience, copyedits to a proposal or grant application, line edits to a manuscript, or beta reading your next book—I’m your writer-editor-librarian gal.

What if you could hire a librarian to-go? In person or virtually. Someone trained to facilitate creative audiences through books + empower participants to trust their own inner wisdom, seek curiosity over fear, practice over perfection, and creativity over anxiety.

J. Faye D’Avanza is an information professional with over 20 years experience as a public librarian, a certified Inward & Artward Creative Facilitator, and a creative coach with Mountain BizWorks serving artists and entrepreneurs in Western North Carolina. She is available for virtual and in-person facilitation both locally and nationally.
