One of our most popular classes is back, and now expanded!

Whether you’re struggling to meet a deadline, starting something new, or stalled in the middle, here’s your dose of weekly comradery, practical support, accountability, and (if you need it) a little tough love. This small, supportive online group led by a seasoned writer and coach will offer concrete tips (how can I better manage my time? when should I stop researching and start writing?); existential sustenance (why bother? what if this never sees the light of day?); and the mix of concrete-existential support (how do I shut up the critics in my head? why does my storyline keep changing as I go?) that will free you to get it done. For writers of fiction, memoir, and narrative nonfiction ready to see and be seen with openness and humor.
