Chela Reyna is an international writing instructor, screenwriter, ghostwriter, and story consultant for leading universities, award-winning screenwriters and bestselling authors.  She's an ardent lover of coffeehouse culture, and a believer in the revolutionary power of creativity. Chela guides both young and established writers from the birth of an idea through pitch or publication. She is dedicated to igniting joy, passion & personal inspiration through creativity.

History is steeped in ideas sparked over cups of coffee.

From the Ottoman Empire to England, the United States to France, coffeehouses have always led to a meeting of the minds that inspire new waves of thought.

There's a revolutionary power in the commonplace café.
