Very helpful

My consultation with Valentina was excellent. She had great suggestions specific to me and my situation. Very helpful. It was a real pleasure to talk with her.

Invaluable. It taught me a lot about myself as a writer.

I received a good deal of benefit from Valentina's coaching. Being encouraged to set specific goals, even though I didn't meet some of them, was invaluable. It taught me a lot about myself as a writer which helps immensely in planning my work and understanding my personal creative process. Valentina was always informative, knowledgeable and encouraging.

It was this advice that helped me leap over that final hurdle and type the blessed words "THE END!"

Working with Valentina Woodson as an Accountability Partner has been invaluable to my process. I found myself stuck, and with Valentina's encouragement and excellent advice, I was able to progress to the finishing point--a feat that seemed almost impossible for a long time. She is professional but fun, light-hearted, approachable, and provides thoughtful, well-informed advice. It was this advice that helped me leap over that final hurdle and type the blessed words "THE END!"

I couldn't be happier with Valentina's services, and I would recommend her to anyone in a similar writing "predicament."
