We found each other, the miracles have begun.

Writing, especially a high-stakes project like a speech or a book, or a legacy project, can feel impossible until it’s finished and inevitable once you’ve got the calling, even if you’ve spent years ignoring it or wishing it would go away!

Freeing your voice from your fears and creating writing you’re proud of, writing you’ll publish, are no small feats. They take skilled hands. And until you feel safe enough to take creative risks, dig deep, and write something true, you need support from someone who's been there. I see you. I am you.

Hi, I’m Clementina. Founder of The Clementina Collective, where no one writes alone, everyone values the power of a well-told story, and ugly truths turn out beautiful in “the end.”

In me, you get more than a coach or an editor. You get someone who truly supports you. I’ll provide:
✨ Holistic editing that strengthens your work by freeing, mirroring, and encouraging your voice
✨ Writing coaching that keeps you moving forward with frameworks, story arcs, and a deep, wide, well of literature and teaching experience to draw on
✨ A non-judgmental witness to your story — someone who will hold space for the complex parts and celebrate your breakthroughs.

I’ve spent my career helping people free their voices, become better writers, and, most importantly, experience the freedom of being who they really are.

That black lines and dots on a page can make another human being feel…the intimacy that exists between writers and readers who may never meet—these are miracles that will never cease to amaze me.

After earning two master’s degrees and (almost!) finishing a PhD, I had two babies, and founded The Clementina Collective to guide writers through the messy process of creating books, essays, and talks that change lives.

These days, when I’m not doting on my sons for as long as they’ll still let me, you’ll find me finishing my own memoir (currently at 87,000 words!) and helping clients transform their ideas into beautifully structured, ready-to-publish work, from a place of clarity and confidence.

If you’re ready to lose your shackles, write, revise, and finally share the thing that’s been tugging at you — spoiler alert, it might be your heart. I’d love to help.

Go on, click the button…You don’t have to do this alone. I’ve got you.

Reva+McPollom.jpg — “Working with Clementina helped me connect to my higher purpose and gave me the confidence to share my story. After one session, I was able to clearly express how my own health struggles led me to creating a transformative health education solution for K-12 schools. Being more authentic improved my pitch, increased my connections, and made me a better leader.”

Reva McPollom // Founder & CEO of Lessonbee

"As the producer of one of the most successful TEDx events in the world, I trusted Clementina to be my outside, expert eyes on all the speakers' scripts. Her deep knowledge of the craft of spoken-word writing, as well as her easy connection with speakers and what they most care about, made her the perfect partner in helping them spread their big ideas."

Tamsen Webster

“Clementina is an incredible woman who has helped me tremendously. Her work on my script, in service to my big idea and my message, has helped me become the man and speaker I am today. Thank you, Clementina!”

Yigal Adato, Leadership Coach

“Clementina’s insightful, collaborative guidance was instrumental in crafting my TEDx talk and solidifying my confidence in its purpose. Everyone with a message to share needs Clementina in their corner.”

Dr. Bridget Cooper, Consultant, Speaker, Author, TEDxNewport 2018.

“Clementina made an alteration which crystalized the big idea and I knew I had to work with her. With one book published by Simon & Schuster already, I consider my self a good writer. Clementina’s insights, suggestions, probing questions, and gentle criticisms improved my work immensely—far more than I ever could have done reading and re-reading my draft myself. Not only is Clementina an excellent writer and editor, she is also a giving person. She invests herself in your work.”

Bob Baker. M.D. & Speaker

“Clementina, we did it!
I got a standing ovation.
I cannot thank you enough for your help.”

Dena Crowder

“I knew Clementina helped her clients tell their stories but I had no idea how good she was until I asked her to review my work. She is a REAL writer and teacher. I’ve written 5 bestselling books but Clementina taught me how to be a better writer. Full stop. She deftly points out why something isn’t working and then empowers you with the tools to fix it so that you don’t make the mistake again. She’s fantastic. After one round of edits from Clementina I have a better book. Thank you Clementina. You’re a major talent.”

Michael Port, NY Times bestselling author of ‘Book Yourself Solid’

“English isn’t my first language and, through the years, I’ve worked with numerous editors who’ve made my writing grammatically correct but lost my voice in the process. To my surprise, in one round of revision, Clementina “got” my voice and my message. I was blown away with my own writing! She didn’t kill my voice. Instead, she protected and nurtured it. Like a highly skilled audio engineer who can do wonders with a voice recording…Clementina heard my voice and helped me present it to the world in the beautiful, loud, and clear way I hear it inside myself.”

Ana Melikian, PhD, Host of the Mindset Zone Podcast

“Clementina is a fabulous writing coach. She’s so good, I trust her with my own work. Whenever I say to myself, I need a me, I reach out to Clementina.
She’s worked on some pretty impressive projects, and she’s very passionate about the craft, about story.”

Ann Sheybani, Writer

“Having worked on the business and marketing side of the AEC industry for over 6 years, I know how highly valued (and rare) is the ability to articulate the ‘technical beauty’ of what engineers have to offer the world. Clementina has this gift. She will truly make you shine (and, if you ask her to….help look like a million bucks too)!”

JoAnne Wong Henein

“Clementina is a copywriting rockstar!
She can take your ideas and turn them into a high converting copy. The opt-in conversion rate on my pre-launch pages have easily gone up 50% thanks to her magic.”

Daniel Jordi – CEO & Founder at jordico.com. Former executive at Adecco Information Technology

sean-spence@2x.jpg — “Clementina ‘gets’ the shift between technical accuracy and technical communication, without losing the appropriate accuracy. Quite a subtle issue that means bridging two complex areas of knowledge – which she does with professionalism and charm. Moreover, it’s obvious she cares about this, which drives a level of understanding that is rare in technical writing.”

Sean Spence – Coaching / Consultation / Clarity

“Working with Clementina is positively energizing.
She showed me new and innovative avenues of exploration in my writing and in my life.
Thank you Clementina!”

Jen Maroney – VP, Director, User Experience at Draftfcb

chiara.indiani.jpg — “With Clementina’s help, I successfully transitioned from working as a professor in Academia to working as a Principal Scientist for Contrafect. A career move naysayers thought impossible! In the process, I obtained the job of my dreams, just about doubled my salary, gained stock options, and–perhaps best of all–halved my commute allowing me to spend two whole hours more every day with my husband and son.”

Chiara Indiani – Assistant Professor

“Within a few months of finishing my script with Clementina, I had three amazing speaking events. I enjoyed them before they even started, while I delivered them, and afterward because of the confidence I gained through our work on the script. Thank you so much for our collaboration, Clementina. I know the impact of my work is that much stronger because of the love and creativity you brought to it.”
