“After just a few sessions with Shelly, I have a much clearer idea of how to accomplish my story goals. Shelly has a knack for listening carefully and asking insightful and incisive questions to get to the heart of things. Beyond the session itself, her follow-up letters with summaries of discussions, exercises to keep thinking about possibilities, and reading suggestions have helped me make progress at a rate I hadn't dared to hope for before. I look forward to our sessions and get excited when I see her name in my inbox, because the support and guidance she provides is just fantastic.”

“I have worked closely with Shelly over the last year to develop and grow my organization’s online presence, and our work together has genuinely transformed how our organization communicates. Externally, Shelly has taken our mission of fostering communal care at the end of life and developed strategic and creative posts, images, and writing that reflect the warmth, empathy, care, and wisdom we aim to share. Internally, I appreciate her consistency, open communication, collaborative spirit, and humor. We couldn't have asked for a better partner.”

"Shelly helped me jumpstart my creative brain when I was recently in a writing rut with my latest book manuscript, and she completely turned my project around with her smart thinking and creative suggestions. Her knowledge and unique worldviews are an asset to any project, whether it's creative or academic, and her consulting and advice definitely helped put me back on the right path."

entertainment journalist and author of Geek Girls Don't Cry

"I’ve worked with Shelly off and on for over the past ten years. What makes her so effective is that no matter the level or stage of your writing career you are at she takes the time to walk you through the changes and the “why” of her ideas. Whether it's line edits or structural changes to your work, she is patient and has a legitimate passion for the literary growth of the writers she works with."
