Hewes House - New York, New York

I didn't know what to expect from writing coaching, but my experience with Hewes House has exceeded my expectations.

Dasha has a knack for sussing out exactly what my goals are for my piece of writing and helping me meet those goals. I feel like she's really invested in helping me make my book as good as it can be: her reading and publishing recommendations show that she isn't working with me in any generic sort of way.

After just two sessions, she helped me convert an essay collection into a very detailed outline of an entire novel, down to a scene list for every chapter. For someone who is very disorganized, that alone was a game changer. Since working with Hewes House, I've gotten more done in a shorter period of time than any other period in my life.

Finally, something I don’t need my writing coach for—this dang 5-star review for Hewes House! When I woke up to my mid-life crisis dream of finally writing that book, I knew I needed reinforcements. I came to HH with no expectations, but my coach Dasha has been brilliant. We're still early in the process, yet Dasha has already provided me with the tools to stay organized and keep moving forward. Plus, I genuinely feel supported. I can't recommend this talented team enough!

I’ve had an excellent experience with Hewes House. My high school daughter has worked with her coach for multiple years on creative writing. Not only has the coach improved my daughter’s writing but she’s instilled a love of writing and creating stories. The coach has been wonderful in establishing a rapport with my daughter and motivating her to write. I appreciate the time and effort the coach has invested in tailoring the coaching to fit her needs and interests. A valuable coaching experience!

I received the best copyedit of my career from Hewes House. My novel is now agent-ready. Thanks, Hewes House!

Hewes House offers a rare blend of knowledge, wit, resourcefulness, flexibility, and exigence. We came asking if they could teach my reticent 8th grader “to write.” With this nebulous instruction they have – somehow – created a year’s instruction covering not just how to write and revise, but how to read, ponder, research, think, plan, and surge forth into new and intimidating territory, whatever that may be. Five stars!

Thank you Hewes House for all your help and ongoing support for our two children, currently in middle school. It’s been a huge success having you work closely with both of the children, and we are seeing the results in their school grades. In addition to the regular sessions, we had our coach work with our son on high school testing prep, which also contributed to amazing results. Thank you for all that you do, we appreciate it!

I've worked with both a developmental editor and a beta reader at Hewes House, and the editor made simple suggestions that led me to expand my manuscript in ways that I had never realized I was capable of. The beta reader offered actionable suggestions that strengthened a second manuscript, and in the process each of them gave me both self-confidence and self-satisfaction in my own growth as a writer that were greater than any of my expectations in seeking their help. Every dollar I spent was worth the expenditure.

I absolutely love this company and especially my coach. She is so enthusiastic and insightful. I really feel like I have a champion in my corner. Plus it keeps me committed to my weekly writing goals to have to prepare every two weeks when we meet. Can't recommend them highly enough.
