“I discovered Ellen’s workshop almost by accident. I’d won three months of tuition via a Silent Auction at my son’s elementary school. I fully expected to just commit to the 90 days (sort of as an experiment) then move on. That was about 5 years ago and I’m still here.”

Perfect for beginning writers and/or advanced writers.
“Ellen is the best way to start as a writer or if you’re already a writer to start 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
A perfect starting place. A perfect place to nurture your craft. A perfect place to grow.
“Ellen is much, much more than a coach. She’s your most enthusiastic cheerleader, the uber-supportive aunt, the huge dose of reality (wrapped in a spoonful of sugar) that you’ll never get anywhere else. I know for an absolute fact that I would not be where I am with my writing without her. I started with an itch to write, an idea borne out of great personal tragedy, and a lot of emotion, that I didn’t know what to do with. Now, I’m preparing my first historical fiction novel for submittal to agencies and publishing houses. If you want to write, and want a place that will nurture, support, instruct, but also tell you the real deal…get Ellen.”-Maeve McGrath Harkness
Grasp your inner voice from the shadows, let voice be valorous and fierce.
“I met Ellen through a mutual friend and we immediately hit it off. I took her writing course and she brought ou 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
