Welcome!
My name is Leanne Phillips. I’m a busy woman who reads a lot and who writes books, short stories, and essays. If you’re reading this, I’m guessing you are a busy woman who reads a lot and/or who writes books, too.
Or maybe you’re a busy woman who struggles to find the time to write the book you’ve always wanted to write. Or a later-in-life emerging writer who’s finally getting up to speed.
Either way, you’re in the right place.

A little more about me:
I’m a lifelong Californian. I’m also an Author Accelerator book coach certified in fiction and in memoir and a professional editor with a copyediting certificate from U.C. San Diego. I’m currently working toward nonfiction coaching certification. Oh, and I have a day job: I’m a civil litigation paralegal.
But my superpower is helping busy women write the books they’ve always dreamed of writing!
What you can expect if you subscribe:
My Newsletter, The Blog, and My California posts are all FREE to read.
The Newsletter: The Newsletter contains an update from me, as well as some things I curate for readers and for writers—I basically read all the things so you don’t have to, and I choose the best of the best for The Newsletter. The Newsletter publishes on alternate Thursdays. Newsletters will be delivered into your email inbox and will also be available to read here. I currently have an archive of 60+ newsletters. My newsletter is FREE to read.
The Blog: On alternate Thursdays, I publish posts generally geared to writers. These posts can be about any number of things. They’re often about craft, creating and living a writing life, finding ideas and inspiration, or about what’s happening in my own journey as a writer. Blog posts will be delivered into your email inbox and will also be available to read here. I currently have an archive of 200+ posts. My blog posts are FREE to read.
My California: I write often about my home state of California, but not on any particular schedule these days—it’s when the mood strikes and when I have something to share. I’ve made some resources available FREE to all readers under “California Stuff.” I currently have an archive of 150+ posts about California history, personal anecdotes, and other things I’m interested in—so far, this has meant things like ghosts and grizzly bears, earthquakes and elephant seals. :) Posts will be delivered into your email inbox and will also be available to read here. My California posts are FREE to read.
Virtual Office Hours: I sometimes launch a series of virtual office hours and chats associated with specific courses I’m offering. These posts are available to students enrolled in the courses and to any paid subscriber.
