​My Five And Ten-Hour Private Coaching Programs Make Writing Stress A Thing Of The Past!
My teaching method is based on The Five Ingredients of the Scene. Developed over my forty years as a fiction writing coach, The Five Ingredients of the Scene  gives you the key to successful fiction writing. With these techniques, you have all the craft you need to become the novelist you dream of being. The Fice Ingredients provide the tools to break the chains of writing frustration, fears, and relentless writing blocks. My coaching programs are for writers of all levels.
With The Five Ingredients of the Scene, you'll: 
  • Quiet your Inner Critic.
  • Experience the magic of birthing unexpected characters and loving them all, the good, the bad, the ugly, and the beautiful!
  • Stop spending frustrating hours trying to find the "perfect" opening sentence and heart-stopping language. 
  • Give up the notion that you can write only what you know. Consider this: We are Novelists. Making up stories and creating a new reality is our job!
  • Have the techniques you'll need for your imagination to fly free and inspire you write, write, write!
 ​Here's what to expect from my highly individualized programs, which are suitable for all levels of writers. 
  • You'll never leave your session with me without understanding what worked well in your writing thus far and where you need to focus your attention for the next session.
  • I'll always give you several ideas for scenes to work on for our next session.
  • If your Inner Critic is particularly powerful, we'll explore ways to quiet its biting voice so you can write freely again. 
  • ​​By the end of our five or ten-hours, you will have dramatically moved ahead with your writing, characters, and storyline.  
Whichever program you choose, each of our sessions is one-hour,  depending on your schedule. Committing to each session is committing to yourself as a writer. Committing to completing either the Five or Ten-Hour Program keeps you writing. 
With my coaching, you'll find the skills,
​confidence, and joy to say, "I AM A NOVELIST!"

​​"In one session, Emily hit on what I suspected was wrong with my writing but had never been told. She said a writer has to dive into the "creative unconscious" to come up with what makes people laugh, cry and sigh. She led me to the edge of the pool, gave me a nudge, and said, "Jump in." I floundered a while, but she was there to support me. The process now feels as if I'm a seagull swooping down to the prize that awaits me under the water." ~ Angela Tehaan Leone

​"Working on my novel with Emily has been an amazing revelation...
"I had no idea such wonderful characters and stories were inside me. I invariably finish each phone session inspired and energized toward more and more writing. Emily deepens and widens my creativity and intensifies my connection to the muse." -Angela Serrano
I am so encouraged by your encouragement...
​I've really broken through a lot of my blocks and have been writing furiously. Such energy-WOW! I especially want to thank you for saying how happy you were for me. It means more to me than you can know to have another woman happy at my writing success. Your being happy for me has given me permission to continue this successful journey, and for that I am eternally grateful." -Kathy Kluge​​
