Stories for children. Stories for adults. Support for the writers who make them.
Welcome!
I'm Natalie Gordon: a resilience coach for writers, a debut adult novelist and a children's author.
I help writers keep creating through rejection, self-doubt and the long haul of a writing life. Whether you're here for help with your own writing or for a good book, you're in the right place.
For writers: Coaching
(Re)Discover the joy in writing
Writing is hard to sustain. Between the inner critic, the rejections and the stretches when life gets in the way, even committed writers lose their footing. My coaching helps you to build a helpful mindset, achievable intentions, habits that fit your real life, a kinder relationship with criticism, and a way back to the joy that made you start.
For adult readers: Yours, Everlasting
