Before taking this course, I felt like I was lost in a maze with no way out. I knew I had a lot to tell, and lessons in life that I could pass along to others, but I didn’t know how to put all that together and make a book out of it. I was in constant doubt. This course made me realize I could do this. And now I can look at this same maze from above and know my way out.
I call Alison ‘my angel’ because she and her work truly rescued me.

When I signed up for this course, I never imagined what it would be like, nor what I would receive. I could go on and on about Alison’s passion, enthusiasm, knowledge and experience, but let me just say: this has been one of the richest gifts I have ever given myself.

As a bestselling author, I was stuck on my second book and found Alison’s program helped me get unstuck, inspired and motivated. Her presence is refreshing, and always welcome. She has a droll sense of humor, a true appreciation of humanity, and she is unfailingly wise about the challenges—and gifts—of the writing journey. Take this course, and you’re in for a treat.

AS FEATURED IN WOMAN’S WORLD:

“As noticed by Alison, participants often don’t know why they signed up, and she encourages them not to focus on the reasons. ‘The fact that they have this urge means there’s something in them that longs to be born, and I love honoring that impulse,’ adds Alison.”
