Experience

Testimonials

Celia was wonderful to work with! So helpful, so easy to talk to, and so generous throughout our coaching session! She made me feel comfortable right away by asking me about my writing process, encouraging me to share about the project I’m currently working on, and guiding the conversation in a way that engaged with my work in a serious and meaningful way, even though I haven’t been published yet. She shared specific and helpful advice without information dumping, and was open and realistic about challenges of the publishing world without making me feel like it's an impossible space to break into. I truly appreciated her kindness and attentiveness throughout our session and would love to work with her again in the future. I strongly recommend her to writers in any stage of the process! - Shannon James
