Hiring a writing coach takes trust — you need high-level skills, empathy and deep experience. Fresh eyes and candid, practical feedback on your ideas, pitches, essays and more can push your work into new markets you haven’t even yet considered.

Caitlin Kelly has helped dozens of ambitious writers worldwide, from Australia to Edinburgh, Toronto to Rwanda, Shanghai to Singapore – and many in the U.S. where she lives and works near New York City. She’s sold 100+ stories to The New York Times and to many others, including the WSJ, WaPo and MarieClaire – whose editor in chief called her essay “revelatory and moving.” One client, even with very little experience, brought her an unsold 6,000 word story; edited after a few revisions to 2,500 words, it sold to her dream client, Texas Monthly – a huge win and great clip for a new writer. Kelly strengthens pitches, features and essays while suggesting new markets and angles.

“With an editor’s mindset, Caitlin helped shorten, massage and innovate my pitches for outlets and angles I’d never thought of. And she encouraged me in a way I didn’t know I needed to be proud of my work as a whole.” ~ Austin Landis, Colombia
