The Collective
A 6-month, small group mastermind to write forward and finish your memoir draft.
The Collective is a 6-month container to help you write forward and finish your memoir. This is a small group offering with additional teachings and hot seat coaching (I'll give feedback on pages in a group setting, so we all learn from each other). Plus, dedicated writing time and an accountability system to help us meet our goals. We meet weekly.
This offering includes:
• Monthly teachings on structure, mindset, the messy middle, publishing paths, etc.
• Hot seat coaching. Twice a month, folks share pages and I'll provide feedback on the call. In addition to getting feedback on your own pages, we'll learn from each other.
• Two 90-minute writing/ co-working calls with 20 minutes of Q&A.
• Weekly accountability check-ins and support.
• The Collective Starter Pack.
We'll meet weekly on Tuesdays, from 1:00-2:30pm MT/ 3:00-4:30 pm ET.
• $425/ month OR $2400 paid in full.
• By application only.
Memoir Mastery is a prerequisite for this offering.
Please note: The Collective is a 6-month commitment to yourself and to your project.
Although our goal is for you to finish your memoir in 6 months, some folks prefer 9 months. If you'd like, you can add another 3 months to the Writer's Circle -- and, of course, you can stay as long as you need!
What is a mastermind?
A mastermind is a small group of people who meet regularly to support and learn from each other.
We provide accountability and support for each other, as well as serve as a sounding board and brainstorming resource.
In other words, we show up for ourselves and each other.
This is a smaller, more intensive offering than the Writer's Circle, with fuller support.
How The Collective Works:
Monthly Teachings
Each month, we'll have a teaching to support you in reaching the finish line.
Topics will include structure, mindset, the messy middle, and publishing paths, plus any additional topics requested by the group.
Hot Seat Coaching
Twice a month, writers will share a set amount of pages and I'll provide feedback on the call. This is meant to ensure that your pages are aligned with your larger vision and doing the work they need to do.
Submissions will rotate among writers.
This allows us to learn from each other as well, since it's often easier to see what's working (or not working) in someone else's writing.
The Collective Starter Pack
The Collective Starter Pack is a series of teachings that are always available for when you get stuck or need a bit of additional support.
Teachings include writing schedule support, writer's block tips, and resources for building your impact outline and filling out your narrative arc. Plus a resource for creating an architecture for success, including the Inner Mentor visualization, so you can always access the tools and insights that are right for you.
Co-Working/Writing Calls with Q&A
Each month, we'll have two 90-minute co-working/writing calls to ensure you have dedicated writing time. At the hour mark, we'll move to an open Q&A so you can get your questions answered.
We meet weekly on Tuesdays, from 1:00-2:30pm MT/ 3:00-4:30 pm ET.
Weekly Accountability Check-ins
The Collective includes weekly accountability check-ins to stay accountable to yourself and each other.
6-Month Commitment
The Collective is a 6-month commitment to yourself as well as your project. Although our goal is for you to finish your memoir in 6 months, you may need more time. If you'd like, you can add another 3 months -- and, of course, you can stay as long as you need!.
Community, accountability and support to finish your memoir.

FAQs
All calls will be recorded and available to you within 24 hours. You're welcome to send me your questions in advance, and I'll answer them on the calls.
This offering builds on the teachings of the Memoir Mastery program. Without that framework, you'll be missing key information that you need to write a compelling memoir and stay healthy and whole as you're doing it. As such, Memoir Mastery is a prerequisite for this offering.
If you're looking for a more affordable option, I recommend The Writer's Circle -- my 6-month accountability group.
If you're looking for more support, the Collective is the best way to work with me, since it's rare that I take on individual clients these days.
This offering is a 6-month commitment to yourself and your project. Please consider your level of commitment before joining us.
