Knowledgeable, supportive, and challenging – exactly what I needed from a writing coach. Melissa has pushed me to set goals, shared industry information and contacts, and guided me when I was struggling with a project that went awry. Sessions are constructive and questioning, making sure that I focus on finishing projects and don’t miss the opportunities that this opens up. Without Melissa, I wouldn’t have seen my first book accepted by a Canadian publisher or had the confidence to self-publish my work. Dr Beverley Morris
