There will never be another writer like you
You write with a style that’s all your own. You have a story, blog or book that you want to (or need to?) finish. But unforeseen snags can make it challenging to move forward. Maybe I can help!
If you are seeking coaching and/or constructive feedback and editing, you are in the right place at the right time. There are various ways to work with me. Monthly, repeating courses offer you the chance to work on your writing over time. Individual editorial services offer you a highly tailored approach. Leadership guidance is for those seeking a deep dive via Zoom. Explore below!

Why work with a coach?
Imagine completing your work in progress, regularly blogging, or getting your book published. Coaching with editorial feedback can help you become a better writer as you work toward your publishing goals. With an MFA in Nonfiction Writing from Sarah Lawrence College, I lasso decades of experience in writing, editing and coaching to support you.
Writing doesn’t have to be a solo sport! My first book, Crazy Quilt Pieces of a Mennonite Life, found life beyond its spiral notebook with the guidance of a mentor. I’m a believer in the power of two. Use the buttons below to learn more. Or join the next email course by contacting me with “sign up” in your subject line.

“Working with you, Cynthia, has been the best decision I made in a long time. I’m stretching and enjoying every chapter. I would not have continued writing at this pace if it wasn’t for your class, your encouragement, your experience, and your advice. There have been many months when I wasn’t ready mentally to put anything down on paper, but knowing that you’re there to help me changes my mindset and gives me the energy and creativity to get going.
