A word from our Founder, Holly Payberg-Torroija

 

Hi. My name is Holly and as a writing and creativity coach there is one thing I know for certain: your stories are important. And they’re not going away.

 

Sure, you can try to keep kicking the can down the road, and wasting energy beating yourself up about not writing them if you want. But I’m here to suggest that your stories won't be ignored. They want to be written for a reason. That, often, they are the key to your growth and ultimate fulfillment, and potentially the key to others growth as well.

 

So don’t you owe it to yourself, and your potential audience, to take your stories seriously? To learn how to allow your stories to flow freely onto the page and do what they do?

 

If you're ready to take that leap, consider letting me help you. I know and love the writer’s mind. I know the special brand of resistances it puts up. Which is why I have used every inch of my 30 plus years of personal writing experience to create a process based system with the power to circumvent those resistances, until writers have the strength to do it for themselves.

Holly is a graduate of both The Second City sketch writing and Improv programs. And has a history of working in all aspects of the entertainment business, from her early days on set working on high profile projects like FRIENDS and ANALYZE THIS, to her development days working as Director of Development for Signature Pictures, and partner in June Bug Pictures, to writing and producing her own indie content such as the family comedy THE GUARDIANS, and show running several award winning digital series THE SEX TRADE, GG'S JAVA JOINT and FEATHERS AND TOAST.
