Too many people hoard their information. So I thank Daphne for what I consider to be the quality of a true teacher: free access to her brain and writing tips.

Daphne provides her suggestions in a personal, reasoned tone as a good friend would. A friend you trust, and a friend you admire and respect.

Daphne was the first person to make me aware that research, writing, and editing, are not the same thing! It was the simplest yet most profound revelation.

Daphne is an amazing writing coach. The best guidance, for me, has been to separate research, writing and editing rather than try and do them all at the same time.

I pass along Daphne’s newsletters all the time—each is like an "idea gift" for a friend or colleague. I seldom read one that doesn't give me an idea to chew on.

Double your writing speed and improve the quality of your work at the same time

The ability to write faster is a game-changing advantage for any writer.

It doesn’t matter if you’re an academic writer, a marketing writer or an aspiring book author.

And, on top of writing faster, I bet you’d also like to make the process more creative and less painful. Oh, and improve the quality of your writing, as well.

But many writers, even professional ones, just grit their teeth to get the job done. By any means possible. Even if it’s unpleasant

Hi, I’m Daphne Gray-Grant. And for the past 25 years I’ve helped thousands of writers double their writing speed while improving the quality of their work at the same time. Rather than tell you to get up earlier in the day to write or ask you to spend more time writing, I’ll teach you how to spend LESS time on the job, and get more value — and enjoyment — from those precious minutes.

On my second attempt at submitting my thesis, my supervisor recommended that I look for a writing coach. I found Daphne. My thesis is finished, and I now function in my writing life and my work life in completely different ways. Daphne helped me identify the challenges that were keeping me from achieving my goals.
