Coaching
Casey Catherine Moore’s writing coaching offers individualized, trauma-informed, and strengths-based strategies to support writing goals—whether the goal is to work through trauma through expressive writing, create a self-reflective journaling habit for mental health, or start, edit, or finalize a specific writing project.
Casey has sixteen years of experience in education at the secondary, college, and older adult levels and has helped writers gain self-awareness and healing through expressive writing. In addition, she has successfully helped students and clients with their formal writing at all levels on a diverse range of projects, including poetry manuscripts, chapbooks, zines, academic writing, memoirs, college and graduate school applications, fiction writing, and fantasy.
​
Casey’s specialties are personalized learning and differentiation, especially for neurodivergent writers, trauma-informed practices, intersectional feminism(s), dis/ability, and comparative practices.

"Casey can bring words to life! Her work paints a picture that speaks directly to the soul. She is compassionate and sensitive to all my needs with writing, never hesitating to develop a plan that works just for me. Her level of expertise makes her a perfect fit for one-on-one training or group-guided discussions. Thank you, Casey, for all you do!"
Imani Carter, LPGC
"Working with Dr. Casey Moore as a writing coach was magical. She helped me find my voice as a writer and clearly articulate my ideas. I highly recommend her for anyone who struggles with written expression or needs help staying focused with a writing goal."
Eliza Derick, Artist & Performer
"Casey Catherine Moore has helped me dig deep and amplify the resonance of my poetry. She sees strengths but also room for growth. She brings a rich knowledge of literature and mythology. This foundation is fortified by a searching intersectional analysis of oppression and collective liberation. Casey is a gem and a genius."
David Thurston AKA BYPO PHOENIX, Poet
“Working with Dr. Casey Moore has been absolutely wonderful. She is a patient and kind instructor, and extremely supportive of even unconventional projects. She prioritizes inclusivity, and is nothing but understanding and flexible, especially when it comes to accommodating difficult scenarios. Casey is upbeat and helpful, and is skilled at creating professional and efficient plans while focusing on and encouraging the enjoyment of the craft itself necessary not just for success at the task and to achieve emotionally rewarding results. She possesses considerable expertise at the subject, and her help has been quintessential for me."
Artemis Scratch, Writer
"As a fiction writer, I depend on my editor like a boxer does their trainer. Not unlike a good cornerman, Casey helped me when I needed it most in fighting to write my book Tears Into Wine. Her eye for detail, great and small, saved me more times than I can count. When I felt defeated by it all, she was there not only to correct my work but encouraged me to keep at it and finish the fight. If you are ready to finally get in the ring with your work, Casey will keep you going until you can proudly stand with your head held high, knowing you have won the greatest fight of your life, and you will have no doubt that your book is a champion."
Joe West, Author of Tears Into Wine
"Dr. Moore is an excellent writing coach. In my professional time with her, she had over 200 students who she coached and mentored, and they were able to produce some of the most expressive and creative poetry I have seen students write in my almost 20 years in education. Dr. Moore co-led our slam poetry team, and students from that team performed at Busboys & Poets and other venues, placed in Comcast's Juneteenth Contest, and competed at the 2022 Capturing Fire Festival, where KIPP students placed in every category. Much of their success can be attributed to the excellent coaching work Dr. Moore gave them."
