What Others Say

 

“Heloise is a Writer’s Therapist! I wrote two essays and submitted them to contests the very next day after our first 20 min. session. After two years of not submitting anything! 7 mos. later, I was published in a well-known national anthology, had my first online publication, and was a Writer’s Digest contest finalist. It was Heloise’s coaching and guidance that kept me going.”
~ Robin Jankiewicz, author & educator

“Heloise truly knows her stuff. She gets right down to it, finds the holes, missing pieces, and insights to make your story the best. She helped with some of the editing on my book.  There were many times in our editing process in which she picked up on a simple line, stopped me and said, “right there, there is the spine of your story.” Then she would crack it all open and give me ideas to bring it home. She really is genius with insight and fun to work.  I highly recommend her if you want to know how to get unstuck and be in the flow of your process.”
~ Chloe Rachel Gallaway, author, entrepreneur, & writing coach

“There’s a certain magic that Heloise Jones has of meeting writers exactly where they are.  I have watched her listen to our body language and discern the whisper of creativity in our in-breath. We were nourished when she delineated the intention behind our mental meanderings and then expertly guided us — individually and as a group — towards vistas previously un-imagined.  And I have watched her take our ideas, infuse them with her wisdom and offer them back in ways that supported, elevated and improved us and our writing.”
~ Gaia Genevieve Richards, writer, entrepreneur, & dog trainer

Heloise has mad listening skills and attention to detail that enables her to support writers to get the best out of our stories. She inspires me to be a better writer and is one of the most positive folks I’ve had the pleasure to meet. I recommend anyone, in any stage of their writing, to hire Heloise. You’ll be glad you did!”
~ Victoria Young, poet, screenwriter, & musician

Heloise is that rare animal, the writer’s editor. She brings the emotion and color of the soulful writer she is to her reading and analysis of your work. Heloise gave me spot-on feedback on point of view and character, and guided me to see where I was better served by scene versus description. Her fresh perspectives allowed me to dive back in with renewed enthusiasm and inspiration.”
~ Lauri Maerov, author, entrepreneur, & branding expert

“A thorough critique of your work by a writer with experience and knowledge of what makes writing work is invaluable. My experience with Heloise gave me connection and insight into my writing flaws and strengths. She has a keen eye and a clear way of communicating that is encouraging and inspiring. Her feedback resonated and energized me so I could easily fix what didn’t work and make my writing stronger.”
~ Mark Stewart, author

“Heloise Jones is an incredible resource for writers. I met with her and received expert advice regarding my writing goals and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend her for help with your writing goals, whether process, craft, or career.”

On “The Writer’s Block Myth – A Guide to Get Past Stuck & Experience Lasting Creative Freedom”

 

“One of my favorite books on creativity that I have ever read. The simplicity, truth and beauty of this book really blew me away. I expected to read a book about Writer’s Block, and what I got was that and so much more. Much like one of my favorite books on artistry, a book called “Effortless Mastery” by Kenny Werner (which speaks to all art), The Writer’s Block Myth teaches us how to live and create from a more divine place rather than an obsession on the end product, to break our sometimes big visions into bite-sized steps, to approach everything we do with more self love, and to allow ourselves to find our own unique way.

In a market full of templates and step-by-step systems, Heloise Jones is a refreshing voice I can’t recommend her book highly enough to writer’s and “artists” of all kinds.”
~ Danielle Louise Ross, writer, entrepreneur, & speaker

“Every writer should make space on the shelf for this book. This book is one of the best comprehensive explorations of how to write from a holistic perspective that I’ve ever read. Jones approaches her ‘writer readers” (my phrase) as an empathetic mentor (she’s been there/done that, too) who allows for growth and truth and the ability to help the “writer reader’ discover something about herself/himself. Jones’s book hits on an important but too often overlooked truth: NO TWO WRITERS ARE THE SAME.

As a writer who heard the calling from a young age, decades have gone by where I have felt as far from being able to call myself a writer as anything else. No matter what type of writing you do, if you write, I strongly believe this book will speak to you. My copy is going on the shelf  next to King’s “On Writing,” Lamott’s “Bird by Bird,” and Strunk & White’s “The Elements of Style.”
~ Bria Burton, author

“Valuable Commentary for a Writer at Any Career Stage. I have followed the work of Heloise Jones for years. What I read made me think about my younger days in the publishing industry. How very different that experience would have been if I had this book. There is much to be gained, I know, by reading it now, going into the 4th decade in my career. Regardless of where you are on the trajectory/timeline of your life as a writer, I feel confident you will extract value from this work. I am eager to dive in to the paper copy.
~ Mary Anne Radmacher, author, entrepreneur, & coach

“I have several books on writing, more than a few of them about the creative process and writer’s block, but this has already become one of my favorites. Mrs. Jones has taken the time to write on the subject with a great deal of candidness and empathy, having been there herself.

I’ve already recommended this book to several people and will continue doing so. It’s earned a permanent spot on my Kindle, along with James Scott Bell’s The Mental Game of Writing”” and K.M. Weiland’s “Conquering Writer’s Block.” Thank you, Mrs. Jones, for sharing your experience and knowledge with the world. It is greatly appreciated.”
~ T. Palmer, author

“A much needed guide and eye-opener.  The author’s own experiences and those of other writers that she tells about made me feel understood and I realized that I am not alone. The description of The Inside Game and The Outside Game opened my eyes and felt so true. I also very much appreciated the exercises and useful tips that were clear and easy to follow. I highly recommend this book to both new and established writers.”

“This is the best book I’ve ever read about what being a writer is.”
