Write Your Story

Novel Kickstart Program

REGISTRATION CLOSED - JOIN THE WAITLIST FOR OUR NEXT COHORT 
Take action to transform your ideas into a story worth telling

Who is this program for?

The Write Your Story program was designed for the writer who:

  • has been dreaming and dreaming and dreaming, but not writing their novel

  • needs structure, routine, and accountability to get work done

  • has been writing and writing and writing with no direction

  • wants to write a novel “one day” (but never does)

  • has lost the plot

    And for the writer who:

  • is ready to get out of their head and put pen to paper

  • wants to discover and unlock their creative potential

  • isn’t afraid to take action to reach their goals

What’s Included

This isn’t just a “course.” This is an interactive experience. There will be homework, there will be writing. You are not here to learn the “best” way to start a novel. You are here on a path to discover your way of starting your novel. We are simply providing the structure and support.

  • These calls will be focused on building your structure and foundation for your novel and honing your practice so that you have all the tools you need to continue on afterwards.

    We’ll be thinking about the big themes here.

    Please note: these will not be lecture based calls, but rather interactive workshops. They will require you to put pen to paper and take action.

    5:00pm Pacific Time / 8:00pm Eastern Time on Wednesdays starting September 16th, 2026

  • Let’s get to work…together!

    Join us each week for some accountability writing time.

    9:00am Pacific Time / 12:00pm Eastern Time on Saturdays starting September 19th, 2026

Things we hear from writers and creatives all the time:

  • We hear it all the time. The dreamer. The creative with an overflow of ideas and inspiration. But no action to back them up.

    We weep for all of those ideas that are left fading away back into dust.

    Don’t let your idea be one of them.

  • We get it. Life is busy. The kids, the school, the job, the dogs/cats/lizards/etc, grocery shopping, brushing teeth cooking cleaning dusting walking.

    We’re exhausted just reading that list.

    But the reality is that we only have time for the things that we make time for.

    So is it truly 100% without a doubt that you really don’t have enough time, or are you simply prioritizing something else? Now ask yourself: what is taking priority over the story burning inside of me, waiting to be told?

  • It probably will be.

    At least at first.

    It’s not about being good or great or world-reknowned.

    It’s about telling your story.

    Because only you will tell it like you can.

    Think of all your favorite writers. Exactly none of them wrote a masterpiece on their very first try. Those things come with practice.

    You will not be perfect on your first go and that is okay. You’re not meant to be. No one is.

    Consistency and commitment can take you a long way.

  • Oof.

    Trust us, we know the feeling. And it’s not a fun one.

    But it happens to all of us at one point or another. You get swept up in a fun idea. The creativity is flowing, you’re busting out thousands of words every day. you hardly sleep and when you do you dream about our story.

    But you forgot to do your due diligence. You forget to think about the basics so that at the end of the final chapter, the dang thing makes sense.

    That’s what we’re here for. Let’s get back to the basics and see that story with fresh eyes.

Your story is waiting to be written.

what are you waiting for?
