From a Nugget of Truth to the Gold of a Finished Manuscript:
Memoir & Literary Non-fiction
NEW SESSION: January 13, 2022 – June 23, 2022
At the heart of every story lies the gold of discovery—a nugget of truth, beauty and transformation that changes both writer and reader forever.
What’s not always clear is how to translate our lived wisdom to the page.
From my two+ decades as an award-winning author, ghostwriter and book coach, I’ve crafted a process for mining the beauty and darkness of our sometimes messy lives for that flash of insight or the slow burn that one day becomes revelation.
This is the work of Literary Alchemy: to dig and sift and work with both obstacles and elements to reach beyond the story you think you’re writing to unearth the essential story that is only yours to tell. And when you’re done, you will not only hold a finished manuscript in your hands, but you will confidently call yourself a writer and emerge stronger, wiser and profoundly changed by the process.
