Writing Coaching Courses with Editorial Feedback

Hello, dear writer! Our current participants are working on: memoirs, hybrid memoirs, and other non-fiction narratives such as blogs, personal essays and books, websites and book proposals. I can also offer feedback on literary fiction. My courses offer you constructive feedback to help you sharpen your writing skills as you work toward your writing and publishing goals. I’d love to learn about your project.

— Heather McLoud, author, heathermcloudauthor.com

“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.”

– Miriam Monroe, memoir writing participant and Mary Kay consultant, www.marykay.com/mmonroe1

“Cynthia is a superb listener who is able to translate your thoughts and ideas into a tangible marketing message. She is helpful in articulating your ideas and helping to craft a specific message to your target audience. I was looking to formulate ideas for a class/workshop I would be giving on “Presence,” a class for fellow practitioners to get better results with their clients. Out of our discussions, I was able to get an article published in US 1 promoting my workshop. I absolutely recommend working with Cynthia. She is very pleasant and easy to work with. Her easy going yet professional style yields results.“

–Edward Feldman, D.C., RCST, Kingston, New Jersey, feldmanwellness.com

“Cynthia Yoder is the epitome of top-notch, and she always over delivers. I am grateful that I have access to such a gem. Recently, I had the pleasure of hiring her as a consultant. I needed her support with editing my personal and company website. People compliment me on the wording and layout daily. She gave me compelling marketing messages that dramatically increased my client registrations!  Cynthia shared creative social media and e-mail marketing strategies to keep my followers engaged. I am appreciative of her influence and highly recommend her services for anyone seeking to bring life to their public image and brand messages.”
–Marshell Williams, New Jersey

“Cynthia did a great job editing my newsletter article and website bio, and we also set up a template on Constant Contact. I’ve circulated the article on social media and my blog, and though this is my first baby step into this arena, I’ve already gotten some positive feedback. Cynthia was able to “get” what I was trying to achieve, and this made it so much easier. I highly recommend Cynthia.“
–Ed Zullo, L. Ac., DC, Washington Crossing, PA, wellspringacupuncture.net
