SOME SAMPLES OF MY WORK

Because coaching is a gradual and personal process, before-and-after samples showing the evolution of a book or article are not so easy to pinpoint. I’m asking a few authors for permission to use small bits of material on which we worked together.  Check this page later for those. 
Meanwhile, in case you want to know whether the person doing the coaching can actually write herself, here are a few stories that will let you decide. Photo links below, and one URL here for a fall 2016 (very) personal essay in the Boston Sunday Globe travel section: http://www.bostonglobe.com/lifestyle/travel/2016/10/20/southwest-love-his-then-ours-now-mine/GTpnmReHlDVGpVHM5efCGN/story.html
