"Emily has skillfully nurtured my development as a writer..." Anna Marie Hrivnak
"The decision to undertake a year long mentoring program was not made lightly. My desire to find the ‘right fit’ with a mentor was my primary focus. I knew that the relationship between a mentor and myself would be the critical component to building a strong, safe, secure, and successful foundation on which to hone my skills.
I looked for a person that would provide intellectual stimulation, while at the same time, would be emotionally aware and present to my journey as a writer. I wanted to find someone who I could openly share my doubts and frustrations, as well as my successes.
I looked for someone whose expertise and personal professionalism was top notch. It was important to me that my mentor embrace her success with a sense of honor for what she chose to be a focus in her life.
I looked for someone who believed in the magic and power of words. Someone who felt a stirring inside from writing and reading a well crafted sentence. Someone who had an understanding and appreciation for the characters who came alive in her stories.
I found all these qualities, and more, in Emily Hanlon. Emily has skillfully nurtured my development as a writer. Her ear is sharp and her critique of my work is presented in a way that offers me an opportunity to apply her insights and suggestions into my work, through my own voice, thus expanding my thoughts as a writer. This process, in my opinion, is imperative in my building the confidence I seek as a writer. Emily is, for me, the perfect fit." ~ Anna Marie Hrivnak
