The Soulful Author Journey
Transform Your Story & Expertise into a Life-Changing Manuscript in Just 16 Weeks
Are you...
- A passionate professional with years of experience and insights to share?
- Constantly jotting down ideas, with countless notes on your phone and maybe even a half-finished manuscript hidden away?
- Deeply committed to personal growth, regularly attending workshops and seminars?
- The go-to person for advice among your friends and colleagues?
- Struggling to find time to write between your demanding career, family responsibilities, and daily life?
- Frustrated by unfinished writing projects despite trying writing retreats and NaNoWriMo?
You're not alone. Many aspiring authors face these challenges, but that doesn't mean your powerful story should remain untold.
Imagine instead:
- Holding your completed manuscript in your hands just 4 months from now
- Feeling the satisfaction of typing "The End" on your final draft
- Reading through 200+ pages of your own expertly crafted words and ideas
- Sharing your finished manuscript with beta readers and receiving their enthusiastic feedback
- Confidently approaching literary agents or exploring self-publishing options, knowing your book is ready
- Maintaining the flexibility to attend your child's school play, take that midweek yoga class, or spontaneously meet a friend for coffee – because you've developed a writing routine that fits your life
The Soulful Author Journey is designed to transform these dreams into your reality. We provide the structure, support, and expertise you need to move from idea to completed manuscript.
Your story matters.
Your message is needed.
It's time to share your wisdom with the world.
“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you." ― Maya Angelou, I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

Frequently Asked Questions
How much time do I need to spend on this?
Each lesson will be about 30 minutes per week, but there will be a lot more optional content for overachievers. Weekly coaching sessions will be at least an hour, all optional but recommended to help you stay on track and listen to other questions from your community members. You will also need to build in weekly or daily writing time (we recommend at least 30 mins daily). Remember, this is for 16 weeks to get your book done. Are you all in?
When does this course begin?
The kick-off event begins August 16th, 2024, focused on helping participants refine their idea and build their structure and plan to write. The modules and weekly calls will begin on September 2, 2024.
However, there is a wealth of information and resources in the portal that participants can explore prior to the course beginning!
Does this include publishing?
No. During our time together, the focus is on completing your manuscript. We'll discuss three different types of publishing, but this program will help you get your manuscript to a place where it's ready for publishing. You'll get lifetime access to the course about publishing and promotion of your book, but this program does not publish your book for you.
What type of writers is this program for?
Nonfiction writers only (memoir, self help, inspirational). This program is designed for mission-driven, impact-focused, heart-centered writers who want to make a difference through the book they're writing. It's not for those seeking just a "business card" book.
What accommodations are provided for the Nashville kickoff event?
During the event, we'll provide snacks, beverages, and lunch. Breakfast, dinner, transportation, and hotel accommodations are the responsibility of each participant.
What kind of support is available outside of the weekly sessions?
You'll have access to a private Slack group where you can connect with other participants and the instructors.
What do I need to do to prepare?
For our kickoff meeting in Nashville, bring your initial idea. We'll spend time working through each idea and creating outlines to help you plan your writing for the next several weeks. You need to have at least an idea of what you're writing, why, and why it's important to you. Also, build a support system around you (friends & family) of those who you will need help from with other obligations while you focus on writing your book.
Why only 30 people?
We want to keep it intimate enough to be able to help everyone effectively. We're looking for writers who are mission-driven and who are also comfortable with the instructor taking a Kingdom approach to teaching.
What if I can't attend the Nashville kickoff event?
While we strongly encourage attendance as it sets a strong foundation for success in the program, we understand that circumstances may prevent some participants from attending. In such cases, we'll provide alternative ways to engage and catch up, but extra time may be required and the understanding needs to be that you may fall slightly behind by not attending.
How does the weekly coaching work?
Weekly coaching sessions are held via Zoom every Monday at noon Central Time. These sessions are recorded for those who can't attend live. We'll go over various targets that we've set for each week, and give people the opportunity for "hot seats" to go deeper in their manuscript and get feedback.
Are there payment plans?
No. We want those who are fully all in and committed from the beginning. Payment plans have a history of people falling off or coming up with excuses.
Is this course refundable?
No. With only 30 spots available, we want the most dedicated and committed writers in this program. We have a no-excuse policy because we want you all in. Sometimes that's only a result of knowing we're investing financially, so we also have to be committed to our time as well.
