Shape your story. Share your pages. Find your flow.

Published 1 day ago • 1 min read

Hey all!

Here's something I spent the spring working on with a small, dedicated group of writers, who helped me get it ready for you!

It was so lovely to be back in that weekly group energy and hearing people's wonderful stories. Now our new, limited-enrollment coaching groups begin in mid-July. Won't you join us? Here's the skinny:

You don’t need to write alone.
Your story matters—but when you’re in the thick of it, it’s easy to lose your way. What seemed clear at first starts to blur. The energy dips. You circle a scene, unsure what’s working or what to do next.

This is where a trusted circle can change everything.
In this intimate group coaching program, you’ll bring your novel into focus—one week at a time. You’ll share your pages, receive thoughtful, professional feedback, and connect with other writers who are right there with you: committed, curious, and ready to move forward.

Every session is a catalyst.
Expect fresh insight. A nudge of accountability. Ideas you hadn’t seen until someone said, “What if…”

And most importantly? Progress you can feel.

✓ Expert feedback to deepen and strengthen your draft
✓ A warm, creative space for sharing and support
✓ Weekly challenges to keep your momentum up
✓ Short-term goals with visible movement
✓ Two private coaching sessions for personalized focus
✓ Group capped at 8 writers

You already know your story is worth finishing.
Let’s make sure you do.

Grab a spot now—spaces are limited.

Two groups are available:

Tuesdays, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM, PT, July 15-August 19

Wednesdays, 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM, PT, July 16-August 20

Use the code EARLYSUMMERGROUP for $100 off by July 7

Love,

Katherine

Glamping with Lynn Post

Hello all! I wanted to let you know about a really fun opportunity, which my friend, editor Lynn Post, is hosting. The Mid-Summer Writes Dream retreat will be held at a unique, idyllic property on Vashon Island that offers the best of both worlds: outdoor camping in a quiet, peaceful setting completely immersed in nature, with access to the basic comforts of home (flushing toilets, showers, electricity, wifi, and a full kitchen)! This glamping-style retreat was intentionally designed to be...

Tomorrow is the last day to register for the Full-Bodied Writing Retreat

Someone told me recently that he felt "more himself" when he wrote. And I thought, "Yes!" We write to let loose the stories clamoring around in our heads, to crystalize thoughts and emotions, to give form to something ethereal. And the work transforms us. This is the way we heal: We become solidly, authentically ourselves. We give form to what is within us. And we take that light and our transformed selves to the world. This is not a luxury. It is not a thing to set aside until we have "spare...

New spaces have opened up at the Full-Bodied Writing Retreat!

Many writers have told me they wanted to come to the Full-Bodied Writing Retreat. But this year, our normal capacity was limited due to a change in faculty lodging. Good news! We've found a solution with a few days to go that opens just a few more spots! Our registration deadline is Thursday, as we have to let Saint Andrew's House know people's dietary needs in time for them to purchase the appropriate farm to table ingredients, and also let our massage therapists know how many massages to...
