while gaining the confidence that is needed to become a published author. As a new writer, I’ve found JaNay to be a wonderful cheerleader. I am truly grateful that our paths have crossed."--Heather J
It has been SUCH a privilege to learn from JaNay and receive her feedback on my stories! She draws upon a wealth of writing and teaching experience to provide critiques that are all at once thoughtful, structured, and to the point. JaNay identified parts of my stories that were working well as well as those that could be revised to make the storytelling stronger, and provided me with actionable steps I could take to improve my story and writing craft overall. Her highly organized feedback allowed me to think about each story element critically, mirroring the level of intention and attention to detail she puts into her own work. What a pleasure it is to work with her and hear her insights, and I know I am already a better writer because of it!"-- Cait B

Testimonials
"I loved how JaNay engaged us and had us apply editorial concepts to our own |
"I loved JaNay's energy. The page turns was also a nice culmination of information I hadn't seen it compiled in such a way and has already inspired a picture book idea." |
Thank you for your thoughtful remarks and edits. I will use this helpful feedback as I go forward. Your sessions were simply the best. I enjoyed your playful approach to writing and organized applicable instruction. I continue the "morning papers" and surprise myself with the ideas that roll around in my head." --Claudia A
