Hello!

My name is Lindsay

I help writers stop overthinking, trust their instincts, and create work that feels unmistakably their own.

AUTHOR AND STORYTELLING COACH

My mission is to help writers stop outsourcing their creative authority and start trusting their own instincts.

I started writing and dreaming of being published at age 9. But creative anxiety crept in as I got older, and the pressure to make those dreams a reality intensified.

It got to a point in my twenties where I could barely write without intense anxiety. This sent me on a journey to reshape my mindset around the craft and what it means to be a “successful writer.”

I pushed myself out of my comfort zone, earned multiple coaching certifications, and finally began to experience creative liberation.

That led to coaching dozens of other writers, publishing multiple short stories, and releasing my debut contemporary romance novel, Reality with You, under my pen name L.E. McQuinn.

My mission is to help writers strengthen both their craft and their self-trust. The best gift you can give to yourself is to write with greater freedom and create the weird, wonderful stories that have been waiting for you to bring them to life. Besides being a craft, writing is also a relationship with yourself.

If there’s one thing I hope you take from this space, it’s this: your voice is not too much, too strange, or too late. The world needs your stories.
