Have an idea for a book, but don’t know where to start? Do you keep rewriting the opening, trying to find the path into the the story? If you feel like the words you put on the page pale in comparison to the vision in your mind, this program will help you settle into the heart of your story and lead you through the steps of bringing the narrative arc onto the page.

Writing classes often skip over the emotional journey we travel from idea to completion, and this oversight is why many aspiring writers give up. They feel stymied and regretful when they look back on their writing attempts. But with compassionate support, the nuances of our writing challenges actually reveal to us our characters’ themes, hopes and fears. By tapping into the emotional and spiritual lifeblood of the writing process, you will find the motivation to persevere in telling the story only you can tell.

"Meg directs me back towards the core of the project before I wander too far off the path." ~ Toni T.

“I’ve loved these moments of feeling alive.” ~ Arianna W.

“Meg met me on the meta-level of my writing projects in a way no one has done before. With a manner that is both open-ended and precise, she gently and effectively reminds you to keep claiming and integrating the intertwined nature of your life and your art. Bodyworkers talk about someone being a “healer’s healer” — that’s what Meg Hayertz is to writers.“ ~ Nora Boxer, noraboxer.com
