Are you having trouble with a creative writing project or assignment? Do you need to tap into your creativity? I can help. I'm a passionate writer and writing coach with a number of published books t... o my name and more than two decades of experience working with students and individuals at all levels. Some of the writers I've helped have even mentioned me in the Acknowledgments section of their books - something I consider a great honor. These authors include Virginia Pitts Rembert (several editions of her book on Hieronymous Bosch), Anouche der Sarkissian (author of Hôtellerie et restauration de luxe: Connaître, travailler, progresser), and Sally (Eirene) Allen. As a writer, I’ve published articles, ghostwritten books, and penned a novel, Hearts at Dawn, which was selected as an Editors’ Choice book by the Historical Novel Society. I don't offer critiques or reviews for books or creative assignments that are already underway or completed -- rather, I love helping people overcome their doubts and difficulties so that they can write clearly and beautifully, and hopefully have fun tapping into their creativity along the way. If this sounds like what you need, feel free to reach out. I'd love to help.read more

Hi, I’m Alysa. I live in Paris, France, but grew up in the US. Wherever I’ve lived in the world, stories have been a constant source of joy and inspiration. I always have a book and a notebook in my ... bag or within arm’s reach. I’m passionate about words and creativity. As a writing coach, I love helping people tap into their creative writing skills or overcome creative blocks. As a writer, I’ve ghostwritten and written several books, including my historical fantasy novel Hearts at Dawn, which was selected as an Editors’ Choice book by the Historical Novel Society. In addition to writing and writing coaching, things I love include reading, cats, movies, cookies, antiquing, weird history, and celebrity gossip. As you might be able to tell from those interests, I’m curious about the world and believe that there’s serious beauty out there, but also lots of laughs to be had. I’d love to help you achieve your creative writing goals - and have lots of fun along the way!read more
