I also found the exercise with the 3 celebrities very inspiring. I chose Suze Orman, Pema Chodron, and David Sedaris. I want to create a wall of vision/inspiration based on their success stories and whatever else comes to me through this process. I also goggled my name. It was weird to realize that there are 26 other Laura Beans out there in the world. And so far I have roughly 1.5 hits. I have a long way to go. Thanks for your enthusiasm and support. The themes I am writing about revolve around meditation, spirituality, my relationship with myself and the world. A reluctant marketeer, Laura Bean Hi Teresa,

After reading your first 5 pages, your query letter, and the comment in this blog post, I am convinced that you are talented, passionate, and you have what it takes to write a compelling story that will show women how to honor themselves. Bravissima! :) Coach Teresa http://writingcoachteresa.com Carole,

I'm grateful to have your input/insight as much of the information given here I assumed I knew. As it turns out, not so much. I am a food/travel writer who stumbled onto a story of a French woman who endured not only the hardship of WWII as a single mother, but one who lived her life never knowing who her own father was due to being born on the last day of WWI. The novel is about love and identity losses, yet is also about the unassailable determination of a woman to rise above the stigma of 'illegitimacy' to raise and inspire her own family.

Congratulations on final edits on your YA novel. Exciting! The characters in Billy Elliot (the movie) made the story memorable. I wish you the same magnitude of success. I love helping authors 2 ways: coach them in platform-building; identify their plotlines, sub-plotlines, character development, pace, and thematic connections in their manuscripts. I enjoy editing children's & YA novels, contemporary novels, thrillers, memoirs and anthologies. If you'd like for me to look at your first 2 double-spaced pages, I'd be delighted. No charge. Here's my post about what to do before hiring me or another editor: http://lovemadeofheart.com/blog/coach-teresa-what-should-i-do-before-hiring-an-editor/ Happy New Year to you! Coach Teresa Grier,
