Be the writer youve always wanted to be A one-year course with Penelope

Be the writer youve always wanted to be A one-year course with Penelope Unlimited editing for a full year! Plus weekly videos and emails from me and many opportunities to receive feedback from the whole group. The course is $1550. Sign up now! Writers work best with an external deadline. We don’t realize it, but our definition of a successful writer means someone has attained external deadlines: Journalists have an editor, authors have a publication date, comedy writers have a showtime, publicists have a boss. If you know you have something to say, but you have a hard time getting yourself to write on a regular schedule, this course is for you. Think of it as buying the external deadline so you can get started. What does that include? In addition to unlimited editing for a year, check this out: Self-discipline to write regularly and the self-confidence that follows. Knowing you are writing well is one of the best ways to get yourself to write. And well reach that point by working together. When I started writing, it was sporadic. I didnt like that I didnt know if what I was writing was good or bad. I thought it might be good. But I didnt trust myself. I wanted outside affirmation. I turned a corner when I realized that receiving consistent feedback from a seasoned writer made my own writing better and better each week. And the experience made me want to write regularly so I could get feedback: no writing meant no feedback for that week. Insight into the format that showcases your particular talent. I ended up teaching writing at Harvard, Brown, and the University of Paris. Based on the curriculum I developed, I can help you discover the format of writing that is most true to you: fiction, nonfiction, long-form journalism, creative nonfiction, flash fiction, essay, memoir, op-ed. You might be surprised to discover that youre naturally talented in a format you havent tried. Finding your best format will lead to you finding your hidden ability to write regularly about what matters to you. One-on-one coaching to create your own version of the writers life. Well have an ongoing relationship the whole year via email and phone. Ill suggests topics, tactics, routines, and other solutions Ive developed to overcome challenges in my own writing life. A measurable, achievable goal that will make you feel accomplished. Once youre writing on a regular basis, Ill make sure your writing adds up to something. Im very goal oriented, and I didnt feel like a real writer until I had a goal for my writing. This might be true for you, too. The people Ive been working with for the past four years have had big success: One person has seen her blog traffic increase 20% every month for two years. Two people got book deals for nonfiction books. One person changed from writing a blog to writing a memoir, and that switch enabled her to write almost every day for a year. One personâ€"who had never written anything before I worked with herâ€"published a book of short essays that I keep on my nightstand. It reminds me what a joy it is to work with writers. Sign up now! I know it will change your life, because everyone Ive worked with in this capacity has accomplished something meaningful to them and surprising to both of us. No one succeeds alone, in anything. Ill be your team for your writing.
