New Testimonials from Clients:
What Coach Teresa’s clients say about her:
“Dear Teresa, You caused me to undergo a paradigm shift in that there’s a way to tell stories (not like doing a sermon or writing my dissertation) which is more like poetry but with discipline and using all my senses and creating scenes where the reader feels as if they’re there with me! Thank you for you are truly a Writing Coach to me!” — Christopher K. Eng, author of FINDING ALOHA IN GRIEF: Memoir of an American Pastor, Chaplain, and T’ai-Chi Sifu
“Teresa, you work hard at reading one’s work, dissecting each word, and giving detailed feedback along with on-the-spot suggestions that lead to a greater story. Your editing/coaching skills are like no other. I value them with the utmost respect.” – Edward C. Hartshorn, author of children’s books
“Ok Teresa, You have done it! I thought I was done with writing for a while, but no, you had to rekindle my writer’s inner Fire… And, for platform-building – excellent advice! I give you the green light.” – Gilles Marin, author, master-teacher; Director of the Chi Nei Tsang Institute, California, USA; Co-directeur de l’institut de Chi Nei Tsang, Nice, FRANCE

Even if you already have a huge fanbase, you still need a platform.” – Rita Lakin, author of the Gladdy Gold mystery series
