Do you have a book inside you?
Create a step-by-step plan for writing your book.
We start November 13th.
Join a small group of midlife writers who also know it's time to write their books.
Maybe you're not sure where to start.
Maybe you feel stuck or overwhelmed or unsure of your ideas.
What you need is a plan. A roadmap for how to organize and write your book.
This workshop is for you whether you have a tentative idea for a book or have started a draft.
INTRODUCING
IT'S TIME FOR YOUR BOOK
This four-week workshop will guide you in determining the "big idea" for your book, its organization, and a roadmap for how to finish and publish it.
THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR YOUR UNIQUE VOICE.
With the right mindset, other women cheering you on, and a clear plan, it's the right time for you to publish your book.
With this workshop, you’ll get clear on the following questions:
- Why do you want to publish this book?
- Who is your audience?
- What's your genre and subgenre and why does it matter?
- What's your book's "big idea"?
- How will you structure your book?
- How will you publish?
- How will you stay organized while writing your book?
After four weeks, you'll be better able to answer those questions — and several others — and be ready to write your book.

Here's what former students say...
"I loved the intimate and supportive nature of this class and the bravery demonstrated by my fellow participant writers. Jessica and Stephanie's prompts challenged me creatively and also provided a space for inner reflection and personal healing."Â
"I loved this workshop. Reading the other women's work has been powerful and inspiring, and tapping into some of my own stories that I didn't know were laying around, waiting to be seen and told, has been cathartic and refreshing. The process was so intentionally developed and skillfully led. And receiving such supportive and kind feedback on my writing was some much needed encouragement to keep going, and keep writing."
