Welcome to Heart of the Story Editorial & Coaching Services!

I’m Sara Letourneau, a book coach, editor, and writing workshop instructor. I work with fiction and nonfiction authors and writers to help them develop the skills, knowledge, and confidence they need so they can finish their manuscripts, polish them for publication, and stay focused and motivated as they reach for their writing goals and embrace their creativity.

I'm also a poet, and I'm excited that my debut poetry collection, Wild Gardens, will be coming out through Kelsay Books in late summer 2024! Stay tuned for updates about its publication, launch parties, and other events in the coming months. In the meantime, you can check out my book contract announcement on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn, or read more about the book here.

If you're seeking help with your writing project(s), then you've come to the right place! Here's a quick list of the services I offer that can support you and your creative work:

No matter how we work together as author and editor/coach, I will stay true to your unique voice and creative vision, shore up your trust in your creativity (aka yourself), and help you make the progress you desire so you can share your writing with the world.
