Use your hour to brainstorm ideas, have me workshop your pitches or even edit your essay draft before it goes to the editor! Recorded via Zoom so you can rewatch at your convenience.

One-on-one hour sessions with me are usually priced at $147, but given how helpful they've been to past students, I'm discounting them once-off for We Are Made of Stories members.

"When I started Googling different versions of "how to draft a pitch" () I knew it would take me a long time to figure it out myself. I really needed clarity and confidence in what I was doing, and knew it would help me immensely if I could get guidance from a pro!"

"She has taught me that we all have unique stories that need to be told, and we can get paid by telling them! I actually managed to pitch a story to Business Insider, and it got accepted and PUBLISHED! The editor loved working with me so much that she greenlit another piece for me and told me she wants to keep working with me. This never would've happened without Tayla's help, and there are truly RESULTS"

"Tayla unlocked so much for me. She helped me delve into my past and see story ideas framed in a way that would resonate with readers. It was enlightening to learn the deeper art of personal essays and how to pitch them—with several helpful pointers on where to go. There's definitely a science to it that I had no idea about. I've pitched six times and have published four across Cosmopolitan, Business Insider, and HuffPost with the intention of continuing to expand my portfolio soon. I can't thank Tayla enough. I've emailed her every story to her with my deepest gratitude."

"Tayla’s teaching style is hands-on, which I love. She made me feel comfortable with asking questions without feeling stupid.  I am very thankful to have Tayla there as a mentor helping me each step of the way and all the affirmation she provides. She offers so much  support. I got so much more than I expected."
