​​Isn't It Time To Find A New Approach
So You Can Finish The Novel You Dream of Writing?

My Writing Programs Do Just That! ​

My Five and Ten-Hour Coaching and Manuscript Mentoring Programs have freed many of my students to write the book of their dreams. Here are just two examples...

Picture
Paddy had never written fiction before but she had a story that was burning inside of her for fifteen years! She had no understanding of and fiction writing technique and her main character was rather "wimpy". She chose my Mentoring Program and worked ardently to learn all of the Five Ingredients of the Scene. Once she understood Point of View, her character transformed and became a dynamo!! The story took off. She is writing almost every day for several hours and she couldn’t be happier. 
​
Here’s an email she just sent me:
"For two days I've come to the office to write promptly at 8:30. It's gone so well, I'm shocked!  I now have a meaningful task to start my day. This has not only created purpose, but happiness. And besides, I'm all but finished with this 8th chapter!  Who would have thought I could finish it in three sittings? I can’t believe all the tension that’s building. It’s such fun! I am forever grateful for signing up for your Mentoring Program."

Prospective students tell me again and again, “I have so much anxiety, I rarely write more than three pages at a time. How am I ever going to write much less complete my novel. I want to do it so much, but every time I sit down to write, my mind goes blank and I think of a hundred more important things that need doing."​

Bob Storms put it this way: ​"I began Emily's Mentoring Program with a massive case of writer's block and an unrelenting inner critic that became especially loud and harsh whenever I wrote more than three pages. Emily, however, has a gift.  She knows writers, and she knows their inner critics.​

She helped me see how I empowered a fierce inner critic. She showed me how to take the drama out of its voice and make it a small, infinitesimal whisper. ​I'm now four hundred pages into a rough draft because she helped me find the courage to fall down the rabbit hole and to be nonchalant about the creative chaos that a rough draft entails. If you want to write, you need to talk to Emily." 
​

The Differences Between My Five and Ten-Hour Programs and The Manuscript Mentoring Program?
All my coaching programs begin by exploring your goals and where you are as a writer.
  • What stops you and starts your writing?​
  • How well are you using fiction writing techniques?
  • How free is your imagination?
  • How loud and destructive is your Inner Critic? ​​
Knowing your strengths and weaknesses as a fiction writer is primary to growing you and your novel.  

Five and Ten-Hours Coaching Programs: Learn To Write Like Your Characters Really Exist.
Individualized For all levels of writers.

​I created my Ten-Hour Personalized Program for students who want to learn the fiction writing techniques that will unleash their imagination and set free characters who are living inside us. These characters are just waiting to have their stories put down on the page, and doing this successfully is one of the greatest joys a fiction writer can have. This program shows you how. 

This is a highly individualized program for all levels of writers.
We start with a discussion of your writing experience and goals and go on to exploring your characters and storyline.
You never leave a session with an understanding of what worked well and where you  need to focus your attention. You always have several ideas of what to work on for our next session. If your Inner Critic is particularly powerfully, we explore ways to quiet it's biting voice so you can write freely. I have many ways to quiet a nasty critic and to get characters to spill the beans on their lives, motivations, actions, etc.
Five on-hour session: $750
Ten one-hour sessions - $1,200

Why are testimonials important? Because they give the student's point of view on my coaching. You won't see any negative testimonials because, honestly, I have never received one. I highly suggest you read more testimonials to see the diverse experiences and outcomes that my students have had. More Testimonials...

"Emily has an acute ability to listen. She is honest, though always kind, in saying what doesn't work well, and though she suggests alternatives, she makes certain that the last word on how to proceed is mine. She removes walls, help me step over debris, and at times, picks up one of her medieval swords to help slay my Inner Critic dragon.  I always come away excited, with new direction and confidence in my ability to do what I need to do with my writing." -Sheila Weinstein
