Hi!

     I am Elana Joy, the woman behind Write with Joy. I have six years of experience working as a writing coach for post-secondary students as well as coaching high school and community college students in preparation for their university application essays. I am a CRLA Level III certified tutor and currently working toward an MFA in Creative Writing. In my free time I teach writing to incarcerated students in New Mexico and California. On weekends, you can find me hiking with my family in the redwoods.

Whether you are seeking creative writing classes for your children, academic or professional writing support, I am here to help you reach new milestones in your journey as a writer! 

My favorite way to capture a moment is by telling its story, and I am passionate about supporting others in this practice.
