Meet Anna

Anna DeStefano con#1 best-selling, national award-winning author Anna DeStefano’s speaking, editing and author coaching inspires writers and creative artists all over the world…

…through keynotes, conference appearances, once-day workshops, weekend master classes, developmental and copy editing, one-on-one author coaching, and her thriving social media following.

Anna believes in the power of words, writing and authors who bravely share their worlds and imagination through story.

Professionally educated, trained, credentialed and experienced as a Senior Technical Writer and Trainer, she entered the world of fiction publishing as an author and has achieved #1 Best-Selling, Award-Winning “status” in multiple genres. Along the way, her passion for working with other writers and their process has kept her very active in the creative writing community.

In addition to working extensively with creative writers as a developmental editor, author coach, keynote speaker, master class leader, one-day and weekend workshop leader, and small-group speaker, she shares her inspiration with artists she connects with on social media.

Her goal, always, is to help writers understand their own writing process, recognize the strengths and weaknesses in their craft, and embrace opportunities to learn and grow as creative artists. Her focus is on the quality of individual story telling, but more importantly on empowering storytellers themselves to enrich their own unique voices to reach audiences more powerfully and richly than ever before.

She works privately with and teaches beginner, intermediate, and advanced writers using the same principals and techniques, customizing the tools and practices of planning, drafting and rewriting to fit your approach and level of experience. Author experience and the genre and length of a project aren’t nearly as important as your passion for improving your process and willingness to be vulnerable creatively as we work–allowing yourself to improve and grow.
