I go about my business from inside the enclosure, occasionally peering out and wondering about the lives of the gangly primates on the other side. They terrify me. I spend my time indoors, tinkering.

“When I woke up to my mid-life crisis dream of finally writing a book, I knew I needed reinforcements. I came to Hewes House with no expectations, but my coach Dasha has been brilliant. We're still early in the process, but Dasha has already given me with the tools to stay organized and keep moving forward. Plus, I genuinely feel supported. I can't recommend this team enough!”

“As a public relations professional, I spend most of my days writing, re-writing, and reviewing materials and repetition can sometimes rob you of creativity. Hewes House has been an invaluable partner in helping me sharpen my writing muscle and their detailed, thoughtful, and insightful feedback. My peers have noticed my change in approach and style, and wanted to know my secret. Everyone needs an editor, and my secret is Hewes House.”
