The Narrative Project
"There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story within you." ~Maya Angelou
You have a story to tell…
and you know your story will be meaningful to others—perhaps to your family, perhaps to a much wider audience. You’ve attended writing classes, workshops, and conferences. You’ve bought books on the writing life and set intentions to get your writing done. So where is that book? We will give you EVERYTHING YOU NEED to complete a draft of your memoir that is ready for its final developmental edit in nine months!
The Narrative Project is for you if…
- You are serious about writing your book
- You know your story must be told
- You’ve gotten stuck in the starting and stopping loop more than a few times and know you need help
FREE — Mastermind Your Book
WRITERS! Are you stuck? Can’t figure out what to do with a character, untangle a plot, identify the beginning or ending, or something else entirely? Come MASTERMIND YOUR BOOK for FREE with The Narrative Project! During this hour bonus class you will have the opportunity to crack your story open and find the “What” and the “So-what” and get clear on where to go next.

Philosophy
One becomes a good writer by becoming a good reader. The Narrative Project requires writers to read and critique the work of others in a very specific way. This is part of the skills-building process. We are committed to helping you get your book written and to you building the skills, schedule, and support you need to that end.
