About Write Easy

I’ve been helping people become happier, more productive writers since I trained to teach writing during my PhD at the University of California at Davis in 2001.

Since 2018, I’ve been helping business owners just like you learn how easy writing can be when we let it be ­– I love that moment when a client realises she has something worth saying and the ability to put it into words!

Over the years I’ve realised that most of us were taught how to make writing hard. Why? Because our teachers were expected to teach us to write for exams.

We’re not sitting exams any more! Our writing is allowed to be easy.

Now, most of what I do is help my clients unlearn what they were taught at school so they can take the pressure off of writing and enjoy getting their message out to those who need to hear it – your future readers need your posts, blogs, and books.

Sure, your writing can be easy, but can mine?

If you’re asking yourself that question, read on.

People assume writing has always been easy for me because I’m a writing coach. That’s not the case.

I know now that writing is a skill that can be learned. As you learn it, your confidence will grow.

But when I was 16 my English teacher told me I’d never learn to write well and shouldn’t pursue a degree in the arts or humanities at uni. I didn’t listen to him – my degrees are in music and English.

I realise now that my teacher had very fixed, and I’d still argue erroneous, ideas about grammar. Because I didn’t share them, he didn’t give me good marks.

Luckily, I wasn’t the kind of teen who took such pronouncements from my teachers to heart. Some of my friends did, and it still hurts to think about how his cruel remarks contributed to silencing them.

Now, I thank him for helping me be a better teacher and coach by showing me that my instinctive supportive approach gets better results than criticism.

If you can talk about it, you can write about it

I’ll show you that if you can talk about how you help your clients, you can write about it.
