About Emily Hanlon
I'm a novelist with a passion for teaching others how unleash their stories and put them down on the seemingly unfriendly page. I know how to do this: I've been a fiction writing coach for 30 years.
I have seven works of fiction published including, Petersburg, sold to GP Putnams for $250,000. The paperback was sold to Dell for another $200,000. Petersburg was translated into Italian, German and Spanish and reached the Best Seller's list in England. I've written many articles on writing and the creative process, and I've been published in Writer's Digest. And I've published a non-fiction workbook, The Art of Fiction Writing.
I graduated from Barnard College with a BA in Writing and English Literature, and was a founding member of the National Writer's Union and co-creator of the hugely popular Westchester County Annual Writing Conference, held annually for almost ten years in the 1990s. I also founded a Woman's Magazine in 1971.

How I Teach:
My two-pronged method of coaching is simple: I teach you all the techniques necessary for writing fiction, short stories and the novel as well as memoir, and I support you in unleashing your creative passion.
Passion is the magic ingredient and cannot be taught. You are born with it. For most of us, however, that deep passion which leads us to our true voices has been buried by life experiences. Reclaiming your creative passion is the most powerful part of the work we do together. For once you have claimed it fully, technique become easy.

The process of writing should be fun. A challenge, yes; but never drudgery. In this ten minute audio, I talk about the process of fiction writing, and how I teach my students to embrace the challenges of the fiction writer's journey and write like never before!
