Client Testimonials:
“Bella is an outstanding writing coach and editor. She recently edited my nonfiction manuscript, Conversations with Jerry and Other People I Thought were Dead, and took it from good to great, making me a better writer in the process. Working with Bella is creative ecstasy. I am inspired by her dedication to the art and craft of writing.”
“Working with Bella was a transformational experience. With her amazing intellect, great enthusiasm, and finely honed skills, she showed me the beauty and power in my own written expression. She helped me peel back the layers and go deeper so I could express more truth. After working with Bella, I could—for the first time—see myself as a writer. If you have the opportunity to work with Bella, I encourage you to grab it with both hands! Both the results and the experience are sure to dazzle and delight you!”
“I started coaching with Bella about a year ago. One of the very first things Bella did for me was to have me release my incessant focus on a "result." Like many fledgling writers, I was looking for a coach to help me get my book published. I wanted something tangible to "prove" that I had writing capability. By the time our initial coaching call concluded, Bella had re-oriented my focus. She was going to help me learn the art of narrative writing. With no particular destination in mind, I was to simply practice writing, describing what I've always seen and sensed in entirely new ways.
This writing process has been humbling, frustrating, invigorating and liberating. Bella has a very strong and astute writing and editing sense and is the perfect navigator for me. My writing is very much soul writing, so naturally, Bella and I connect primarily from a spiritual perspective. Bella is always encouraging and a wonderful cheerleader, yet she is a tough challenger and will push you to new levels as much as you allow. What I most value in Bella is her ability to articulate the writing strength and potential she sees in me and my work. I cannot yet see what she sees and her ability to hold the vision for me is the best gift a great coach like Bella can offer.”
