Testimonials
Vanessa is brilliant, both in her thoughtful and focused comments in her manuscript assessment of my work, and in her expert facilitation of our group of writers on the Mastermind programme. She manages the time so all get our fair share, creates a supportive culture that is the hallmark of The Writing Coach and brings her industry knowledge and writing experience to both tasks. I cannot recommend Vanessa and The Writing Coach highly enough for those seeking support on their writing journey. Judith May Evans
Working with Vanessa as my writing coach was an absolute pleasure. Her calm and encouraging presence gave me confidence in my writing abilities, and she provided unwavering support during a challenging time in my life. She was empathetic, kind, and always professional, creating a space where I felt truly heard and motivated. I looked forward to every session, knowing we would set reasonable and achievable deadlines that kept me progressing without feeling overwhelmed. Thanks to Vanessa’s guidance, I not only grew as a writer but also gained the confidence to pursue my goals. I would highly recommend Vanessa to anyone seeking a compassionate, skilled, and professional writing coach. I sincerely hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future! Laura Konig
