"Emily supports you as a writer in a way that no other writing mentor or teacher can. As Emily works with you, she can intuit when your writer’s critical voices are inhibiting your writing process. She has the unique gift of hearing your writing voice and in the process, gently guide you to greater confidence and clarity."
    —Ingrid (Indianapolis)

"Emily and I started an Indianapolis writing group in 2001. We wanted a safe space that focused on the process of writing rather the production of writing. Working with Emily was a life-changing experience for me."
