Offerings

Embrace writing as a pathway to joy, clarity, and confidence. Writing for All offerings are designed for writers and writing-enthusiasts at all levels and stages!

Writing for All's expressive writing techniques are simple, practical, and effective. You can use them anywhere, anytime, and forever.

 

Once you've learned the writing techniques, you need nothing more than a pen and paper or keyboard and screen to keep the words flowing.

If you'd prefer to work with Hannah one-on-one, she offers coaching sessions that utilize creative writing and journaling techniques for creative development and personal growth.

 

Hannah also coaches creative writers at all levels to reach their goals.

 

Coaching packages are tailored to your life circumstances, writing needs, and budget. 

Do you wish you could finish a writing project you started years ago? Do you need fresh eyes on a manuscript before you submit it to a contest or publisher? Do you want to fine-tune a novel that's already been accepted for publication? 

       

Whatever stage you're at, feedback and fine-tuning can make all the difference.

"As a teacher and a mentor, Hannah is one of the most engaging and approachable instructors that I have worked with. She has a gift for bringing people together and for creating a nurturing sense of community. Hannah approaches every interaction with integrity, kindness, and empathy. Whether running workshops or giving feedback on creative work, she leads with the heart space. She also leads from a deep understanding of creativity and the complexities of the human condition."

Kerry Gilbert - poet and college professor

I know of no pain that art cannot assuage. For some, music, for some, pictures, for me, primarily, poetry, whether found in poems or in prose, cuts through noise and hurt, opens the wound to clean it, and then gradually teaches it to heal itself. Wounds need to be taught to heal themselves.

Jeanette Winterson
