A client said to me, “I need to get in a better headspace to write.”
I said, “No, you need to put your butt in a chair space to write. Your head will follow.”
“Ellen is the best way to start as a writer or, if you’re already a writer, to begin your next project. Of all the investments you can make in your own writing, getting a coach to get you off your doubts and the couch is time and money well-spent.”— Lisa Gaeta, CEO IMPACT Personal Safety and co-author of The Safety Godmothers
“I met Ellen through a mutual friend and we immediately hit it off. I took her writing course and she brought out an inner voice I didn’t know I had. Using her guidance and writing exercises she was able to give my writing voice impact and power, strength, and fearlessness. I highly recommend anyone who is interested in writing to use her as a writing coach. She has a way of taking anyone’s writing skill, no matter how rudimentary, to higher levels.” — Laura Loftsgaarden
