Testimonials:
“Through insightful coaching in her Book Foundations course, author and freelance writer Halona Black helped me evolve from an insecure storyteller to a confident writer of transformative non-fiction. Her remarkable ability to grasp my ideas, combined with her expert guidance in crafting compelling storylines, taught me how to create powerful arcs of change that will resonate with readers. What sets Halona apart is her skill in helping writers like me develop our authentic voices while mastering the art of showing transformation on the page. Thanks to Halona’s coaching and mentorship, I now confidently approach my non-fiction writing, knowing I can create a meaningful impact through my stories.”

I've worked with Halona several times over the past five years, first for copy editing the second novel in my adventure fantasy series, and most recently for substantive editing of a short story. I've also recommended her to several of my clients for their more technical writing needs. She's always responsive and professional; easy to work with. Most recently I came to her to edit a short story that I was submitting to a contest. I had a pretty major rewrite to do in a very short amount of time. She handled it with ease and the story was submitted on time and thoroughly edited! What's more, I enjoy working with Halona because I can tell she cares not just about the work but the person behind it. - Dr. Nicole Cutts
