And create a body of work

Reignite your voice

i

In this 3-month mentorship experience we’ll work together to create a body of work that reflects your emerging voice as a writer. By the end, you’ll have a beautifully crafted, custom-branded zine to hold in your hands. I’ll be there to offer guidance, support, and the practical tools to help you bring your vision to life.

Three Months, Ten Sessions, One Collection that is True to You

Creative Revival

qt

Sessions 1, 2, 3

In our first few sessions, we’ll journey inwards to reawaken your creative voice and discover the themes waiting to be explored. Within the myriad of inspiration we’ll find, a golden thread that runs through it all, and offers a foundation to build upon.

You have my permission to leave the overwhelmed perfectionist at the door. Instead, allow yourself to be led by curiosity and playfulness.

This mapping of the creative heart will provide us with the information needed to outline a true-to-you blueprint of the body of work we’ll begin to create.

Doing what a writer does

Session 4, 5, 6, 7

These power sessions, and the time in between, are devoted to getting it done; to creating the body of work we’ve outlined. As your soft-hearted yet goal-oriented friend, I provide a blend intuition that nurtures your creative unfolding with strategies and systems that move the needle.

Though there will be moments in which you’ll get to flex your strength as a writer, much of this work happens through allowing; through softening the armor around the heart and letting the ever-flowing river of life pour onto the page.

A book of your own

Session 8, 9, 10

As we near the end of our journey, we’ll fine-tune and curate the best of your work to compile in a custom printed zine. I'll bring in my design eye to create a killer cover and layout that reflects the essence of you and the messages of your collection. 

I’ll be celebrating with you as we print, ship, and unwrap your one-of-a-kind work of art. Imagine it now: holding that body of work in your hands, flipping through its pages—each embedded with your heart’s musings.

With this accomplishment behind you and your creative fire burning steady and strong, who knows what you’ll create next.

  • $2,980, inclusive of everything listed below. Payment schedules are available.

  • Grow your capacity and confidence as a writer

    A shareable, tangible capsule of your writing

    Open up your channel of expression

    Develop consistent, easeful writing habits

  • About once per week

    Our 10 sessions will be spread out over 12 weeks. This rhythm allows for a couple of weeks off to rest and make space for inevitably busy moments.

  • Nope!

    We are able to work entirely via phone calls, video chats, and email.

    If you’re in Austin, Texas we can explore if in-person sessions are a fit.

  • Akin to a zine, your book will be 11 x 8.5 inches in dimension with a soft-touch finish. You have the option to choose between a hard or soft cover. Page count will likely fall between 22-32 pages.

    I’ll be excited to explore visuals with you. We could keep it simple with just text. We could add in a few correlating designs or personal images of yours. Or, we could add on a photoshoot experience that is styled to reflect the themes of your writing and capture you in your radiance. See details under “What add-ons are available?” below.

    I’ve got the technical aspects of formatting, design, and printing covered—but your input will completely guide the final look and feel of the book.

    Printing costs for one book are included in your package.

    ***

    If you are looking to officially publish a book—ISBN number and all—that’s a whole different conversation.

    I’d be happy to discuss the publishing process with you, but this mentorship opportunity is more focused on the creative process and produces a more accessible final product.
