Coaching for New Authors
Are you seeking a poetry editor to help you flesh out ideas, provide effective feedback, and encouragement to stay focused and true to your own voice?
Are you wanting to bring to life your first poetry collection with the benefit of having a second set of professional eyes before publication?
As a writing coach in Atlanta, I nurture emerging authors and poets as they turn ideas, experiences, and unfinished pages into work they are ready to share.
Before you publish, give your words the attention they deserve. A professional second set of eyes can help you strengthen the work while preserving what is uniquely yours.
What are you ready to write, revise, or finally bring into the world?
Joy Harjo, the acclaimed 3-time Poet Laureate of the United States, expresses, “writing can save your life.”
In their words:
”Thank you for your constant support, feedback and encouragement for my poems.” Tozi Madzima (Switzerland)
“Thank you, Evelyn, for your constant presence that brings calm and restoration.”
”Your honesty and vulnerability gave me courage to see things in my own life that I may be ignoring. You are an amazing poet…”
“I am moved by Evelyn Asher’s capture of language that resembles a river moving through her life. She offers hope amid chaos. There’s a stanza in her poem titled “Sunset’s Palette” that describes her advocacy:
Hardship’s curtains part with humanitarian gestures.
Deepened gazes unearth images of courage, endurance.
Despair liberated by concertos, poetry, master works of art, comedy, rock n’ roll.
This is a mix of both essays and poetry, both harvested from her heart and poured onto the page through her artist's hands. I highly recommend this book. This is the work of a visionary.” Phyllis Wintter
"Beautiful collection from poet and teacher Evelyn Asher (@iamevasher) whose life and words embody connection and compassion. Poetry for those who wish to be part of the collective seeing, feeling, transforming." Author Jennifer Schumaker
Evelyn’s poetic memoir was released during National Poetry Month in April 2022.
