nairobi-based AUTHOR
A Book Coach, Fiction Editor & Novelist
I help writers finish the novels they’ve been carrying and guide authors with finished manuscripts through self-editing, manuscript audits, and professional editing. I also write stories about men and women navigating love, desire, and belonging, and review books. I then share my expertise about writing, editing, publishing and book marketing on my blog and in my WhatsApp group, where we talk about all things books.

Great to meet you!
I’m Doreen — mid-thirties, a Kenyan novelist and marketer based in Nairobi. My writing journey began long before I ever called myself an author. For years, I’ve worked in marketing jobs to put myself through a writing education, all while reading widely and studying story structure, determined to learn everything I could about the craft. When I was finally in a position to invest in myself, I published my books one by one, invested in a small business course, and put all my energy, love, and dedication into what is now The Novel Nook Program and this author platform you’re on today.
