Today is a great day to begin telling your story.

Is there a story tucked in your heart, but you feel lost and don’t know where to begin? Maybe it lives in your head and keeps you awake at night. Or perhaps you’ve started the writing process but lost your way.
You’ve come to the right place. A listening ear, the right help and publishing expertise are what you need to grow that idea into an amazing story for the world to read and enjoy.

Hi there. I’m Laurel Thomas.
I’m a writer’s coach with a passion to help emerging authors find the story in their heart and pull it out! As a storyteller, I love to spin imaginary worlds filled with ordinary characters who overcome extraordinary odds – and I do it all right from my kitchen counter. (Yep, I love to stand and write!)
Let’s talk about the dream in your heart and work together to let the story out.

You can only edit once you have started writing.
