I love teaching and helping people with their writing projects.
Octopus & the Kraken: 1 Week Science Camp
My daughter loves all things octopod, and this class was perfect for her! It is hard to find new information for her, as she already knows so much, but this class nailed it. She enjoyed it and asked if she could do it again! - Jennifer M
Fantasy Fiction Creative Writing Workshop: City of Doom
My sons really enjoyed this class. They are avid readers of this genre so it was fun for them to practice writing like some of their favorite authors. - Angela W.

Leeyanne is an exceptional writing coach who has helped my daughter develop her skills as a writer. Over years of remote coaching, Leeyanne has guided her through the intricacies of writing techniques and helped her grow stronger and more confident. Leeyanne’s knowledge of the craft of writing and editing is truly impressive. She has been instrumental in helping my daughter revise and edit her YA novel, providing invaluable feedback and guidance. When my daughter was ready to take her writing to the next level, Leeyanne offered excellent advice on marketing, publishing, finding agents, and beyond. She is a dedicated and supportive coach who possesses all the qualities one looks for in a mentor. - Adam C.
Hello everybody! For over twenty-five years I've nurtured children, teens, and college students, giving them individual attention to ignite their creative spark. I believe in asking students to think for themselves. In return, I aim to provide them with fascinating classes ruled by kindness and creativity.
If you're looking for creative writing workshops with all kinds of science fiction and fantasy flavors, or interesting classes on octopuses, monsters, vikings, and witches, please look at my classes page. I also teach adults and teens how to take their writing to the next level--especially those who want to tackle longer creative projects--i.e. a novella, book, or thesis.
I have an MFA from Syracuse University where I was a University Fellow, and BA from Smith College where I won many prizes in fiction and playwriting. I'm also a published fiction author with a background in analytic philosophy. I've taught critical thinking skills & rhetoric at Hampden Sydney College, Longwood University, and Syracuse University, as well as workshops on time management, organizing, and study skills at Smith College. I've studied fiction writing with truly amazing instructors, including: George Saunders, Amy Hempel, Mary Caponegro, Arthur Flowers, Chris Kennedy, Dean Albarelli, and Farnoosh Moshiri. I've studied screenplay writing with Richard Dubin and Tom Seeley, and playwriting with Len Berkman.
Virginia is where I live with my dog Jojo. I love gardening, sculling, mountain biking, fostering parakeets for the local SPCA and baking vegan goodies.
