From the first draft to the final printed copy, we will guide you through every step of the publishing process, ensuring your book is a true reflection of your voice and vision. You will work with a dedicated coach who will help you craft, refine, and elevate your manuscript. We’ll help you push back against fear, redefine your creative process, and embrace your full potential as an author. Here is how.
Coaching: we will provide you with tailored coaching to help you start and deepen your writing practice.
Developing your manuscript: We work with Black women writers at all levels of manuscript development, whether you are just conceiving the idea for your manuscript or you are more or less finished with your first draft, and ready for editing and publishing.
To get started with your process sign up here and purchase a copy of our text, Writing Challenge Workbook and Journal.
