closed captions provided + each session was recorded and you will have lifetime access

📨 OUTLINING THE BONES OF YOUR BOOK

📨 THE ART OF THE PHYSICAL OBJECT

📨 WRITING A BOOK, SHOWING THE WORLD

WOVEN INTO EACH WEEK

Every week we will drop in to our bodies in silence

We will check in using the chat

We will set intentions for the two hours

And we will wildly unlock the ability to write a whole book

You will not write a whole book during the duration of this class. That is not the goal. The goal is to prepare an architectural landscape of tools, skills, community, care, and magic to set you on your path. We will talk about the pros and cons of the publishing world vs self publishing, how to have an abundant creative practice, marketing and selling books, digital and physical ways or organizing our chapters and essays and materials

I have also invited three of my real life friends to guest teach this class with me : Tamara Santibañez , Brandi Cheyenne Harper, and Jacqueline Suskin

Tamara Santibañez is the author of [Could This Be Magic? Tattooing as Liberation Work](http://tamarasantibanez.com/tattooing-as-liberation-work#:~:text=Sourcing quotes from artists from,possibilities of justice-centered tattooing.&text=to see in our workplaces,into the world at large.) and the Substack newsletter ISO : My Body

Brandi Cheyenne Harper is the author of Knitting for Radical Self-Care

Jacqueline Suskin is the author of Every Day is a Poem (and six other books including multiple poetry books)

THIS CLASS IS FOR YOU IF :

🌼 For years you have thought : I want to write a book - but I have no idea where to start

🌼 You're pretty sure you have nothing to say or everything you have to say is stupid

🌼 You already have a book idea but you want to become a better and clearer writer

🌼 You want to streamline the process of gathering ideas and and generating creative output

Since 2017 I have been putting books into the world : self published and published by Harper Collins. This has been one of the ultimate gifts of my lifetime and I am happy to have four books in the world as well as a handful of zines and hundreds of issues of my digital newsletter

You do not need to think you are a writer to take this class, and you also do not have to feel “ready” to write a book. This is for people who are halfway through writing a book OR have a million ideas in their head and feel the very deep and psychic calling that a book is forming in their soul, and they have no idea how to extract it
