LISA POISSO — BOOK COACH & EDITOR FOR NOVELISTS Writing a novel shouldn't feel like throwing darts wearing a blindfold.
LEARN HOW STORYTELLING WORKS WHILE WRITING YOUR OWN STORY. What if you finally understood what's going on under the hood of your novel manuscript? No more stumbling through a rough draft, then paying an editor to help you find the story inside.
I specialize in working with new and emerging writers. As your coach, I'll help you connect theory with practice, and as your editor, I'll show you the craft techniques that make your writing connect with readers.
"[Lisa's] material takes it from theory to practice. Brilliant!"—Scott Jarol
Originally a classically trained dancer, I approach creative fluency—your freedom of movement on the page—through a grounding in structure, form, and technique. My mission as your coach and editor is to show you how, in the words of the great Pablo Picasso, mastering the rules like a pro allows you to break them like an artist.
