Your voice is what makes people care about what you have to say. Your voice is why people will buy your book or read your essay. Your voice is what people remember. Whether your passion is writing a book, blog, magazine articles or billboards, you need to have a unique voice and a strong point of view. I can help. I offer virtual coaching where I can take your writing and help you figure out where you want to take it, what your strengths are and how to get even stronger. Also, I'm an insanely good editor. I can also give you a positive critique on your blog for a one time fee that will really help you make it focused. Then there's my local workshop: Learn the tricks of the trade from Stefanie Wilder-Taylor the bestselling author of “Sippy Cups are Not for Chardonnay: And Other Things I Had to Learn as a New Mom,” “Naptime is the New Happy Hour” and “It’s Not Me, It’s You: Subjective Recollections From a Terminally Optimistic, Chronically Sarcastic and Occasionally Inebriated Woman.” In addition to this blog, Stefanie also maintains the popular web column Make Mine a Double at www.mommytracked.com In this eight week workshop you will gain self confidence, find your funny (or sad or just plain interesting), figure out what makes your work stand out to a publisher, editor or agent all in a nurturing, fun environment. Each week under the guidance of a published author and in the company of your peers, you will spend at least one hour working on in-class assignments designed to help you overcome blocks and develop your craft. You will receive valuable feedback, guidance and focus. But most of all, every week you will write! Over the eight weeks we will cover many other topics including, “Attention grabbing proposals,” “Agents,” and “How the hell do I make money?” At the end of the course you will have a completed personal essay or your first chapters of a memoir. Each eight week session will culminate in an optional live performance night of readings in front of an audience. Classes will be held every Wednesday night from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. at The Lounge Theatre in Hollywood 6201 Santa Monica Blvd. Hollywood, CA 90038 Cost of workshop is $400 for 8 weeks with option to continue on a week by week basis Private coaching also available no matter where you live To register or for more information please email Babyonbored@gmail.com
