Have you ever noticed how some people are terrified of calling themselves writers, or of not being capable of powerfully organizing the thoughts they want to share? Sometimes they are plagued with doubts over having the structure and self-discipline to finish a book draft or the knowledge and support to decide how to share their work.
Well, I love to paint a picture of writers’ skills and talents that will minimize their impostor syndrome (unfortunately, it might never go away). I thrive in walking with and guiding them as they polish their work to a glorious shine. It is my privilege to help them figure out the best ways to get their work out to the audience of their dreams.
Let me know if you’d like my help to make your journey light and successful.

Testimonials
“Nylda has a remarkable gift for empowering writers and fostering personal growth. During my time receiving coaching from Nylda, she prioritized learning my story, my goals as a writer, and the "why" behind my words. From that foundation, Nylda provided thoughtful feedback that aligned with the tone and tenor of my writing, but also strengthened my confidence around my own style. Further, Nylda's attention to detail and creativity shone during our sessions, and made her feedback fun to work through. For example, Nylda introduced to me new ways of visually presenting my poetry, proposed word play, and helped me through some challenges in organizing the poems in my book. Beyond her technical expertise, Nylda's friendly demeanor and genuine curiosity for writers and their craft make it a joy to work with and learn from her. I am incredibly grateful for her guidance!”

“I had a lovely experience with Nylda Dieppa as my book coach-in-training through the Author Accelerator program. …Nylda was always communicative over email and in our initial Zoom calls; even when we weren't in touch, she kept my experience in mind in a way that I find very rare. This laid a foundation that allowed me to trust her with my vulnerable and unpolished memoir manuscript.
…She sent me detailed, insightful, and clear feedback that showed how closely she read with both heart and mind, and her immense caring for the work. She gave me encouragement and also didn’t shield from the hard questions necessary for elevating my work in order to birth it into the world. She succinctly pointed me toward the issues that needed refinement and clarification, and made useful suggestions for how to move forward.
In our Zoom conversation, she deepened her feedback and responded to my questions with grace, warmth, humor, and honesty. She saw and articulated things about me that I didn’t realize were there. Throughout our interactions, she modeled a real desire to learn and grow, setting ego aside and actively soliciting candid feedback.
…I expect that this experience, along with the many concrete resources and editorial letter Nylda provided, will be invaluable to me on the long road ahead.”
