Reviews
“What a God-sent miracle Miranda has been! She has given me so much encouragement that it took me by complete surprise. (Self-doubt had chiseled away at me.) Miranda took in my story (including past trauma), my skills, and considered my writing subjects well. Through this, she has directed me to kindred-spirit writers and helpful writing references. Now I'm focusing much more on my writing and feeling hopeful again! I can't say enough good things about Miranda and highly recommend her as a writing coach!”
