Welcome to the Fiction Writer's Journey, website of Writing and Creativity Coach, Emily Hanlon

I am a novelist with a passion for teaching others how to unleash their stories and set them down on the often unfriendly page. I've been writing fiction all my life and have been a writing coach for thirty years. I've had a gratifying and successful career that includes seven works of fiction, a book on writing and many articles on writing and the creative process. My novel, Petersburg, reached the Best Seller's List in England.

My two-pronged method of coaching is simple and effective: I teach you all the techniques necessary for writing fiction — short stories, the novel, and memoir, and I support you in unleashing your creative passion. I offer this method through private coaching as well as an array of writing workshops and TeleSeminars on writing fiction and the creative process.

Whether you are writing short stories, a novel, memoir or beginning to write fiction, my dual-pronged method of teaching will support you on your writing journey.
