Writing coach
Esther
works with writers - wherever they are in the writing and publishing
process - to help them discover, craft and market their stories.
Her careful manuscript readings and thoughtfully-worded comments
reflect her teaching experience, her publishing experience and her
talents and skills. The writer learns not only which story parts
work and which parts could work better, but which parts should always
work to tell any story well. In a successful picture book, the
writer offers up concrete details from which the reader draws Life's
Universal Truths. Esther works hard so her comments do the same,
so that from her specific criticisms of a specific manuscript, the
writer learns the tenets of writing for children in today's
markets. Esther also works with writers who are eager to
respond to editorial requests for revision as well as with writers
eager to self-publish their stories/projects.
Esther says,
"When
folks ask me
what I do," she says, "I say I'm in the Hope Business, bringing
children's books to the hands and hearts of readers."
