1. I have an intuitive understanding of both writing and
the writer's relationship to his or her writing as well as
the supportive power of the creative process itself. I have
written numerous articles and a book about writing and the
creative process.
2.
My fiction has been published by major commercial publishing
houses and my writing expertise runs the gamut from the short
story to the novel and the memoir. I have written successfully
for adults, young adults and children. Many writing coaches
are limited in their own writing experiences and, if they
have been published, it is often in small literary magazines.
3.
I do not have a one-size-fits-all approach to teaching. Writing
is an aspect of your creativity and your relationship to your
self, and I take all of this into account in working with
you. I know how to stand strong against the negative voices
inside of you that give you a hundred reasons why you shouldn't
write.
4.
I know how to turn you into the writer you want to be! Teaching
and leading people like you on the creative journey is my
passion. As we work together and I get to know you, I'll expand
and deepen the writing program that I develop especially for
you.
| "I hired Emily Hanlon as
a writing coach to help me complete my first novel. It
was in its draft state when we met, and I needed her to
help me figure out how to convey my complex storyline.
It was immediately apparent that she understood the deepest
emotionality of the story's message and intuitively knew
how to help me access my own unconscious creative process.
Suddenly, I was discovering critical new characters that
were driving the tale into surprising directions. From
beginning to end, thanks to Emily's probing and meaningful
insights, I experienced the joy of seeing myself evolve
as a writer. I now have a completed novel that is far
beyond my wildest expectations!"
