For many people, becoming an author is just a distant dream. Here, with a little guidance, it’s a reality.
Every writer’s path is different, but the goal remains the same: to tell a story that resonates and to be truly remembered.

beyond borders
from “Am I good enough?” to
“I know I belong”
I work with writers from all backgrounds – non-native and native alike – to help them discover their authentic voice. As a non-native writer myself, I am attuned to navigating the richness and nuances of l’expression multiculturelle – multicultural expression. Whether writing across cultures or within your own, your voice is welcome here.

I just wanted to let you know how grateful I am for your feedback on my first script. Your expert’s knowledge on format and what is appropriate or not in screen writing helped me clarify the doubts I had.
The way you give your feedback is very clear and by giving examples to further your point you make it very educational. Concerning the story, your note about adding a sub-plot was very inspirational and gave me ideas.
But most importantly, thank you for your encouragement to continue this journey.
Ela’s feedback has been so useful! She has provided both detailed analysis, and development feedback about my fiction writing and my website. She raises issues with story or layout or grammar, and information on what you might want to consider changing and why. She is passionate about helping hone your writing and I would highly recommend her services.
Dzien dobry Ela, your comments are always so constructive and helpful. I learn just as much about how to comment on other people’s art from you than on how to improve my own work.

I can’t thank you enough. You allow me to be my masculine self and feel safe to open up to you and share my sensitive side. I can tell you have done the difficult work and have been through a lot which makes me respect you and be able to connect with you even more than had you not. You are amazing in so many ways and you always make me smile so thank you. You are bursting with so much amazing positive energy which says so much about who you really are.
Thank you again. It really is true that progress is happiness. In a place where I was very well functioning and happy and growing in general aspects of life and contributing and serving as much as I was…I had felt I didn’t progress for a while – like an itch, or a mild bad taste. I have had heaps of breakthroughs in my life and I was confident in “my own reading and research” that it did me really well. When I asked for help I would get very basic level of insight…so I did it myself (reflecting how I grew up too) – but now I know who to ask… (1/2)
(2/2) I lacked people high level of awareness. But I’m glad it was the right time and place. Thank you again. Your help has shifted my day to day moments of doubt and moral conflict and direction (as small as they seem for other people – another reason I felt a bit ashamed to talk about to people doing much worse than me). I look forward to more breakthroughs … I hope there are more.
Ma rencontre avec Ela fût pour moi un véritable déclic et une véritable révélation…. Ela m’a fait prendre conscience de qui j’étais au plus profond moi-même et à l’accepter. Cette aventure à ses côtés, a été magique et je souhaite au monde entier de vivre cette chose extraordinaire qui vient de m’arriver !!! Ela est une personne magnifique, avec laquelle j’ai pu échanger, apprendre et partager en toute confiance et sans jugements. Aujourd’hui ma vie a littéralement changée… (1/2)
(2/2) j’ai enfin compris qui j’étais au plus profond de moi-même et j’ai réalisé une chose extraordinaire, c’elle de m’accepter enfin comme je suis et à aimer la Femme que je suis avec toutes ses qualités et ses défauts. Et la chose encore plus extraordinaire c’est que je suis enfin Libre de tout et je vais pouvoir rester libre pour le restant de ma Vie. Ela tu es une Femme magnifique et extraordinaire! Un grand Merci à toi pour tous ses moments d’écoute et de partage… tu es et tu resteras dans mon Coeur pour tout le restant de ma VIE!
Elu, dziękuję, że nauczyłaś mnie wierzyć w swoje marzenia i z odwagą realizować cele! Jesteś niesamowicie inspirującą osobą, masz również niesamowity dar przekazywania drugiej osobie swojej pozytywnej energii, jest w Tobie taki wewnętrzny blask, który udziela się wszystkim w Twoim otoczeniu. Dzięki Tobie z odwagą patrzę w przyszłość i wiem, że to co najlepsze jest jeszcze przede mną! (1/2)
(2/2) Jest w Tobie dużo mądrości życiowej, jak również wrażliwości na drugiego człowieka. Jesteś dla mnie przewodnikiem do odkrycia swojego prawdziwego ja i rozpoczęcia nowego, lepszego życia.
Thank you. I exactly needed to hear what you were saying. Thank you for so majorly contributing to my life and that I can reach out in my most raw and vulnerable moments. You are very dear to me and you are a magnificent human and I love your never-ending insight.
