"My
weekly conversations with Emily by telephone are as good as "in persons"
because of her acute ability to listen. She removes walls, helps me step over
debris, and at times, picks up one of her medieval swords to help slay my Inner
Critic dragon. I always come away excited, with new direction and confidence
in my ability to do what I need to do with my writing."
Sheila Weinstein, Ponte
Vedra Beach, FL
"Emily
has a unique gift of being able to listen for story, even over the telephone,
and she has helped me develop characters and scenes that are rich with feeling
and emotion. Working with her over the phone for the last three years has been
the best thing I have done to improve my writing. We also laugh a lot!"
Susan
Omilian, West Hartford, CT
"I
love working with you over the phone. I appreciate your direct feedback, your
uncanny ability to hear from where the energy in the piece is coming and, most
of all, your ability to show me how to do the same."
Jen
Simpson, West Hartford, CT
"For a new writer, Emily's acceptance of what I put forth is awesome and
self-inspiring."
Marcia
Lang, San Fernandina Beach, FL
"The telephone work
allows me to work with Emily at my convenience, in the privacy of my home, and
eliminates the geographical constraints. Considering I live in Virginia and Emily
lives in New York, I couldn't get to work with her any other way! It's great."
Yvonne
Herbst, Jefferston, VA
