Creative Writing Coaching to Elevate Your Writing Journey.

Personalized creative writing coaching designed to help writers find their voice, build confidence, and develop a sustainable writing practice.

Writing Coaching That Supports You Every Step of the Way.

My creative writing coaching is designed for writers who need guidance beyond editing. If you're just starting, this service helps you develop your skills, build a sustainable writing practice, and gain confidence in your storytelling. Unlike my novel editing services, which refine existing drafts, coaching supports long-term success. Whether you're working on fiction, memoir, or essays, this service provides structured feedback and accountability. I work with authors at all stages, offering novel writing coaching, writing coaching, and creative writing coaching to help you shape your unique voice.

What Writers Say About My Editing Services.

  • Christian Durso, Netflix Creator, The Stranded

    “If there is a book inside of you, E.O. has the light by which you will find it. She saved me from years of mistakes. I gave her a mess of a first draft, and she helped me find the core of what I was trying to get across. She operates with a razor eye on the line level and a generous heart on the story level. I would’ve been lost without her guidance. I’ve found the editor I want to work with for everything I write.”

  • Marilyn Fu, Professor at Columbia University School of the Arts

    “E.O.’s approach pairs actionable, high-level feedback with questions that tap into my subconscious writing self. She opened my eyes to the value of world-building for all aspects of my book. She saw literary fiction in my spaghetti-on-the-wall first draft and drew out the sellable genre elements. I could not have reached this point without her wisdom and positivity. I want to work with her on every novel I write.”

  • Leyla Ostin, Picture Book Author

    “E.O. is an incredible editor who has been instrumental in bringing our book to life. Her expertise and creative vision have nurtured and grown our ideas, turning them into a reality. E.O.'s guidance and support throughout the process were invaluable, and we couldn't have brought our book to fruition without her. She's truly a master at helping authors realize their full potential.”

  • Shehera Barnes, Oracle Card Author

    “From the outset, E.O. demonstrated a profound understanding of the vision I had. She possessed a remarkable ability to grasp the intricate themes and messages I aimed to convey, and her editorial suggestions were transformative. It was clear she genuinely cared about bringing the best possible version of the Oracle Card Guide to life.”
