My vision is to illuminate the world through compelling and authentic narratives that resonate deeply with the human spirit. Stories have the power to inspire and transform perspectives, fostering a deeper understanding of the issues that shape our society. Personal stories of redemption give glory to God and conquer evil at the same time:

“They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and the word of their testimony…”

– Revelation 12:11

I will example this by writing my own story – one blog post at a time and eventually a memoir. One of the purposes of this site is to encourage others to write their stories.

The monthly WRITE Right Newsletter and Editing/Coaching Services will enable even those who do not consider themselves writers to produce a quality product.

I am grateful to have this opportunity to endorse and recommend Gloria. She provided an incredible amount of help by editing my novel. Her patience, insights and suggestions were invaluable, allowing me to clearly see how the reader would understand and interpret the story. She was professional in her critiques but also direct and straightforward, as per my original request of her. I am confident she will do a fantastic job for you as well.

At the moment I met Gloria, I knew she had been sent to help me as I had just finished writing my memoirs. She took my rough manuscript and somehow articulated sentiments and situations that I hadn’t even realized were important! In the process, Gloria helped me become a better writer. She is a truly gifted writer, editor and coach.
