Hi! I’m Ellen.

Here’s how some people describe me:

  • “An incredibly innovative publisher, backed by the ability to serve as a great writing coach” - Jim O’Shaughnessy on his podcast

  • “A brilliant editor who studies language in minute detail” - Matt Lerner via blog

  • “Rick Rubin for writers” - David Perell

  • “Winston Wolf for writing” - Lenny Rachitsky

Here’s how I describe myself:

I’m on a mission to publish books that outlive their authors.

I believe this goal demands a focus on quality and a long-term stance.

My team and I offer coaching via Writing.coach and publish short books via Altamira Studio.

One fun fact: Amazon banned one of our books.

Get in touch anytime via ellen@writing.coach.
