“Have you ever set out to go someplace and realized halfway there that you didn’t quite know the way? You recognize some landmarks, and you have a general idea you’re headed in the right direction, but somehow your destination eludes you. When you finally pull over and look at a map or ask for directions, you have a new perspective and your way seems much clearer. This new illumination in my journey is what I felt after my first Creative Coaching session with Alicia. Her impressive experience working with writers helped her to show me the many more possibilities there were for me - not just for my stories, but also in my career trajectory as a creative. And her intuitive approach brought to light new and exciting possibilities that - up until this point - I had only considered as daydreams or what-ifs. I would recommend her services in a heartbeat to anyone who has found themselves needing their road ahead illuminated. She is truly gifted!”

“Alicia is almost magical in her approach to writing and writers. With intelligence, clarity, and enthusiasm, she’s able to see through to the essence of a project and guide it to where it wants and needs to go. She understands not just writing, but writers, and communicates clearly and generously. Working with Alicia has been inspiring, comforting, fun, educational, and incredibly productive!”
“Will point you in directions that allow your creativity to flow”
As a writer, it’s important to have a savvy professional to turn to for notes. Alicia Lipinski is that professional. I’ve been writing for over 10 years and, during that time, have turned to numerous companies and individuals for coverage. Some have been good, some bad, but none better than Alicia. Not only does she hone right in on story and structure issues, but she also has an eye for punctuation and grammar. It’s her story notes, however, that really stood out for me. She never tells you what to do, but she will point you in various directions that allow your creativity to flow. Alicia looks past the minutia and finds the underlying issues that need to be addressed. If you want to tell great stories, and any writer worth his or her salt does, you can count on Alicia to support you 100% in that process.

“Inspired me to reach possibilities I hadn’t known existed”
Sometimes a story appears full blown in our minds and we put it on paper and send it out to the world. In most cases, however, there’s another step—a big and important one. I met Alicia on a story that read to me like it was finished. After Alicia read it and we sat down to talk, all new possibilities emerged. Stronger characters and structure, a cleaner plot, higher stakes, a more fulfilling resolution. This began a creative collaboration that inspired me to reach the possibilities I hadn’t known existed. I can’t recommend her enough for any book or script you plan to send out into the world. For me it was an invaluable step that both lifted the material and helped me grow as a writer.
