Weekly Online Book Completion Group
Working on a larger project? Or have an idea for one? This class is for you if you want focused, individual coaching, the support of a group, and precise, useful feedback on your work. Because each person has different blocks and strengths there’s no “one formula” to getting your project done. But with a spirit of inquiry and some practical optimism, you not only finish your book, you learn how you uniquely write well. Thus, you write a better book in the end.
Each week you will get:
- An individualized coaching session of 15 minutes or more
- 2.5 hours in-class writing time
- Feedback on your work, and connection with other writers.
The one-on-one coaching with instructor and author Andy Couturier has made this our most popular course. In this session he can help you work on overall organization, working wisely with your inner critic, revising strategies, time management, doubts about your project, a sense of overwhelm, or even on just how to get started.
What is a typical class session like?
- We sign in to our Zoom meeting and get started writing immediately to train your mind to seize all opportunities to write.
- During the group writing period (two and a half hours) you meet with the instructor in a separate “breakout room” to get coaching on any challenges you are having—such as technical issues in the writing, organization, motivation, or even just how to take the next step.
- For the last 90 minutes, everyone gets a chance to read a piece of their work in progress (even if it’s a mess!)
- After you read, experience our specially-designed style of feedback that gives you concrete information about how your writing is affecting others, and that sends you home EXCITED to do more writing.
