Writer’s Adventure

The All-Inclusive

a 12 month high touch, high support Cohort with Wrap Around Care for Writers & Authors

 The Writer’s Adventure All-Inclusive is not a week spent lounging in the sun drinking from an open bar. It’s more like a year long sabbatical where you dive into the story that yearns to be shared, all the while being supported to write and being witnessed in your process.  

Dear Writer:

You are here for a reason.

You have known your whole life that there is a story with your name on it, and it’s just waiting for you. 

You’ve waited long enough. 

The time is now.

You’ve spilled words on the page and pushed pieces of that story around. It might be whole, it might be full of holes - but it’s no longer a figment of your imagination.

You know you have to keep writing but… you’re worried about getting stuck, lost or losing faith. 

This is a big journey, and you’re pretty sure the road ahead is long.

All of us here know that writing your book can be an adventure of a lifetime.

We’re glad you’re here, because we want to see you succeed.

Welcome to the Writer’s Adventure All-Inclusive Cohort Experience

Why not just write it yourself?

As you embark on the quest to write your book and tell the story that’s burning inside you - we’re here to be your greatest cheerleaders. We’re here to help navigate the road ahead, and to find it within yourself to take uncharted paths - when that’s what’s called for. We also keep you accountable to the work, because on this adventure, continuous writing is akin to putting one foot in front of another.

The Writer’s Adventure All-Inclusive offers wrap around care for writers who are in the transition to becoming authors.

This includes:

• Artistic and creative support.

• Editorial scaffolding and feedback.

• Motivational coaching

• Care for your body, mind, heart, soul and artist.

We also provide you with a community of writers, each of whom is on their own journey. We share highs and lows, inspiration and ourselves. In the process, we have a lot of fun.

Why do we encourage a community experience?

We’ve been working with writers for a long time now. Every writer is different, with unique needs and special and specific ways of creating success for them. However… what we’ve learned as we’ve walked beside dozens of writers as they bring their ideas forward from concept, to content, to a complete manuscript, to the publisher, is that community matters. 

• Feeling heard, supported and celebrated by others going through a similar experience can get you through the hard weeks.

• Knowing you're not alone makes the impossible possible.

• Having a weekly gathering place to write keeps you on track and accountable.

• Being a part of something that is a solo-experience while being held in community keeps you healthy… and your writing sustainable. 

• Writing can be hard, but it doesn’t have to be lonely.

Writers need… 

1. A personalized writing plan with weekly or monthly writing targets

2. A container of time to get it done

3. Encouraging feedback and clear direction

4. Ongoing skill development as a storyteller

5. A writing practice 

6. A weekly / monthly rhythm of time in your chair (at your desk)

7. Energized and supportive accountability

8. Ongoing checkins  

9. Ongoing care for your spiritual and emotional well being

10. To be celebrated

This is a tough but deeply rewarding process, we know what it takes to get the work done while feeling nourished and cared for.

How do we Personalize The Experience For you?

Every person has an ‘inner writer’ or ‘inner artist’ inside of themselves, and that artist/writer has a process, even if they don’t know what it is yet. Most books can be written in nine to eighteen months depending on where the writer is in their process, how willing they are to surrender to the process, and how ready they are to commit to doing the work. 

Our job as your Writing and Author Coaching Team is to help you create a writing plan that fits who you are and how you do your best work. 

And we do. 

Margaret Atwood handwrote most of her drafts because it’s how she gets the best flow from brain to hand to the page. She describes herself as a “downhill skier”— she tries to go as fast as she can and then backtracks to fill in the gaps later.

Barack Obama wrote his entire 760 page presidential memoire by hand on yellow legal notepaper, with a pen. "I still like writing things out in longhand, finding that a computer gives even my roughest drafts too smooth a gloss and lends half-baked thoughts the mask of tidiness” .

Dan Brown of The Davinci Code shared, he likes to don a pair of gravity boots and hang from an exercise frame to think his stories through. “You've just got to relax and let go. The more you do it the more you let go. And then soon it's just, wow.”

Maya Angelou rarely wrote at home. Often, she would rent a hotel room nearby, order staff to take all pictures and knicknacks off the walls, and write on the bed from 6.30am to lunchtime. “I have kept a hotel room in every town I’ve ever lived in … To write, I lie across the bed, so that this elbow is absolutely encrusted at the end, just so rough with callouses. I never allow the hotel people to change the bed, because I never sleep there. I stay until twelve-thirty or one-thirty in the afternoon, and then I go home and try to breathe.”

Every Writing Adventurer receives a personalized writing plan for their year which is updated every quarter to reflect where you are in your journey, and what your next learning edge is. 

How Do you Know If you are Ready?

• If we asked you, what are you writing about? - You can answer.

• You have a skeleton of an outline in a journal (or 10) on your bookshelf.

• 2-3 years ago, you experienced something HUGE, it changed you, and now you know why.

• You have a messy draft already written in your desk

• You wrote an article that went viral and you know there’s a whole book living inside this one idea.

• You have a keynote you’ve been giving for a while now and it’s ready to be fleshed out into a manuscript.

• You completed NaNoWriMo (National Novel Writing Month) and you have 30-50,000 words of something but you’re not sure what

• You’ve developed a process that works (you know, because you’ve tested it), and it’s ready to be turned into a ‘how to’ book

• You are prolific and you know that you can go from concept to publish ready in 14 months. 

• Because there is no other choice for you but to write.
