Meraki Writing Masterclass: 3-Month Option — Booking for February 2025
1:1 Meraki Writing Masterclass
Do you want to write that memoir or nonfiction book you’ve been saying for years that you were going to write? Have you felt a powerful need to share your story because it will have a positive, lasting impression and impact on the lives of others? Do you believe your story will contribute to or truly inspire others in a meaningful way? Do you believe it will help others to heal?
Or do you have a novel that you have been dying to write? Have you had an idea for years but didn’t know how or where to start? Is writing something you have always wanted to do, but every time you open your laptop, the white screen blinks back at you and your mind fills with doubt?
You are not alone.
If you’re writing non-fiction, you may have questions about how to organize the book and how all of your ideas, emotions, events, timelines, and thoughts will be structured and outlined into the book in a cohesive manner that brings value to the reader.
If you’re planning on writing a novel, you probably already have a host of characters swimming in your head, and maybe even an idea or two or a premise for the plot and subplots. But getting everything sorted for a full length book feels daunting.
I will be your guide as you begin your writing journey. This is a 1:1 writing masterclass tailored specifically to your needs as a writer/author.
Writing from the Heart
First, I believe in a holistic writing process.
I believe that whatever you love—whatever brings you the most joy—shows up in your work… that your essence, the way you wholeheartedly pour yourself into whatever you are doing with soul, creativity, and love, also results in you leaving a piece of yourself within it.
This could not be more true of writers.
Whether it’s fiction, nonfiction, or memoir, you shed off parts of your soul while writing. I wrote a poem long ago about how I loved to leave pieces of myself in every place I have ever been. I wrote about leaving skin cells along the shore as I strolled the sand, and how the wind whipped strands of my hair to float along the ocean waves, and how every sunset stole a piece of my heart and soul anywhere I was in the world.
Whether you are writing fiction and making everything up, or you are writing memoir and it is difficult or heartbreaking, it is your story. And story is what makes us human—literally. Story is what drives us. Story is what was crucial to our evolution as a species. Story tells us what is important. And how to share it.
An important part of telling your story is that who you are, how you work, how your brain thinks and visualizes, is directly connected to “how” you write. Your current state of mind may affect your writing and vice versa. Because writing is an intimate experience, how we see the world, face struggles, handle stress, our sleep patterns, our health and diet, are all factors in how we approach our writing.
The 3-Month Masterclass . . .
• We’ll start by working via phone or in person (if you’re close enough) to collaborate on the crux of your message and vision to create a general outline so you have clarity and a direction for your book. This part may take several hours or maybe even a day or two to finalize.
• From there, we’ll carve out a chapter-by-chapter outline so you finally have a road map for your writing.
• We’ll create a writing schedule that works for your life so you can show up for yourself.
• You get 3 months of support from me, via text, phone, or email during office hours—this allows me to help you brainstorm, problem solve, and remind you of your mission and story and encourage you to not give up.
• You get 2 monthly private coaching calls or in-person meetings to use as you need them for breaking through walls or writer’s block, helping revise your outline if it has changed direction (as all books usually do), and helping to keep you accountable. These would also be ideal times to ask for feedback on your writing.
• BONUS: you get free access to two of my three weekly 2-hour workshops! This is optional, but always worth it to add writing time to your schedule.
The 3-month masterclass is for the writer who wants to just get an outline hammered out and a few chapters written with focus on honing their craft/voice. (Full draft is not likely, but could be possible depending on the dedication of the writer.) The author investment is $3,600 or 3 monthly payments of $1200.
