Client Testimonials

"[Lana was] SUPERBLY helpful.  One of the goals she and I set for me was to pitch a piece to Huffington Post. And Voila! She is so great 1:1, she had fabulous ideas, industry experience and excellent goal coaching skills." Lindsey O'Neill, career coaching client whose professional articles appear at Huffington Post and elsewhere.

"…A really wonderful and productive session.  Your comments were unbelievably insightful and helpful, and I've already given the essay a clean edit.  Most of all, thank you for the encouragement." Sejal Patel, after a 30-minute coaching session with Lana.

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for how you allowed me to grow as a writer during our last session. With the help of your notes and the class feedback, I was able to revise and include two of the stories I wrote with you in the fall in my MFA applications, and after a month of waiting and hearing nothing, I just received a phone call today from a program director that I've been accepted to Vermont College of Fine Arts for their Fiction program beginning this summer." Liz Breen, former writing student.

"I found out on Friday that the story I submitted in September was accepted for publication (my first) in the online journal, The Feathered Flounder.  The story is a chapter of the novel I worked on with you in the Boost.  The session was very helpful and stimulated a lot of ideas about revising my draft." Buzz Anderson, Grub Boosts client and published writer.

"Here’s what I get from Boosts. Lana gives me very specific feedback on issues in the pieces I bring her and respects that I have the ability to fix them. She helps with whatever writerly habits are troubling me. By the time I leave, I feel confident about my writing, and I have a spark of her positive energy and grace. Sue is a generous writing ally."  Barr Bielinski, Boosts client and published writer.
