Where stories take flight.
Over a decade ago, I wrote a song called “Paper Cranes,”
in which I wrestled with whether anything I wrote would go anywhere, and if I should keep writing.
If I should “keep folding all my stories into little paper cranes – that will never fly?”
I was a writer in need of encouragement and direction!
Are you?
That’s my aim with Paper Cranes Book Coaching –
to provide you with direction, encouragement, clarity, and confidence,
so that your stories will take flight!
I help driven Christian writers find clarity
& develop their craft
So that they can create commercially viable stories with deep spiritual resonance —
without the crushing uncertainty of whether they’re working in a fruitful direction or not.
If you want to create a compelling story that moves hearts & reveals deep truths,
I can help you uncover the heart of your story & get it on the page,
so that you can write from a place of clarity & confidence & get your story into the world.
“Each of you should use
whatever gift you have received
to serve others,
as faithful stewards of God’s grace…”
1 Peter 4:10
“If the iron is blunt,
and one does not sharpen the edge,
he must use more strength,
but wisdom helps one
to succeed.”
Ecclesiastes 10:10

What my clients are saying
Nina Wasserman
Middle Grade Writer
“Hannah grasped the purpose and vision of my manuscript right away. She relentlessly honed in on its weak points and sincerely encouraged its strengths. My experience with Hannah has galvanized me to shape my characters, keep my focus and develop my scenes meaningfully. I am absolutely amazed at her insights. It was also so worth the effort to go through the Author Accelerator intake forms. It improved my creative process. Thank you, Hannah!”
