About Me

Hi, I’m Sandra!

I am a multi-passionate creative (she/her) – and a certified book coach – from the Netherlands. It is my mission is to help people from around the world who don’t fit the mold of ‘normal’ find their own personal writing path to writing success – whatever that may look like to them!

Sandra Postma whose mission it is to give people back the voice that the world - and often - life stole from them, through the art of writing and storytelling.

Your Story Your Way

I am a former journalist who switched from fact to fiction after discovering my own stories held the power for change. I founded Your Story Mentor in 2021 and am now a writer and a certified book coach.

In my business as a book coach, I help writers find their voice and help them develop their story ideas into novels in a way that suits them! Because every writer has their own circumstances and their own strengths, hopes and dreams. By focusing on those, the writing journey becomes one of passion, hope and growth!

As a woman with multiple chronic illnesses myself (amongst them ME/CFS, Graves’ disease and chronic migraines, plus anxiety disorder) who is an HSP (highly sensitive person) and bi, I know what it is like to not fit in the usual boxes and to need a type of personalised coaching. That is what I offer my writers as well.

I know what it is like to be invisible to society and misunderstood by many. Making my writers feel seen and making them realize how important their individual voices and stories are has become my main goal in my work, and to work with them in a way that feels right for them, while still going after their goals.

I am particularly committed to creating a safe space and community for neurodivergent, LGBTQIA+ and BIPOC writers and those with an illness or disability to come together and find their voice, write and thrive!

Because we need you. Our world needs you. Your talents, your values, your beliefs and your perspectives.

We need your story.

Your time to write is now. After all, we only live once – as those of us with illness are deeply aware of – and this life is too short to spend it hiding ourselves away in silence. I am here as your coach to give you the tools to make your writing dreams come true!
