Why Learn From Me
I’m a word maven extraordinaire. A client once described me as a gentle ass-kicker. I know what I’m doing, and I can compassionately guide you through your creative blocks.
I have over twelve years’ experience in classrooms, teaching real live people how to write, even when the assignment was dumb. Imagine the writer’s block induced by boring standardized-testing prompts.
I worked for a National Writing Project affiliate and taught other teachers how to teach writing.
I’ve been a professional editor and book coach for seven years, and I’ve seen hundreds of manuscripts and edited millions of words.
I’m friendly and approachable. Some people even think I’m fun.
I’m also a writer who’s published three books, so I know what it feels like to be on the other side of the editing pen.
Teaching writers how to get their words on the page and how to make their work shine is my passion. Let me help you.
Dear Writers,
Writer’s block happens. Let me show you how to navigate it so you can get back to writing.
Take care,
Nicole Ayers
