Writing Coach: Emily's two pronged method of teaching writing demystifies the writing process. She teaches you all the techniques necessary for writing fiction: short stories, memoir and the novel, and supports you in unleashing your creative passion.

Creative 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 you and she can do together. For once you have claimed it fully, technique become easy. The writing flows. The characters reveal themselves. The story takes shape.
