There is only so far we can take our writing on our own.
Then we need a discerning eye and a kind, experienced hand.
Anyone who has taken the Memoir Writing Ink course knows how helpful a container can be for a story. It can mean the difference between ideas meandering off in a dozen directions and a story that sings with clear purpose.
But stories aren’t the only things that benefit from containers. Writers need them, too!
With some structure, clarity, guidance, focus and commitment, writers are able to harness their ideas and intentions and transmute those into polished pages of writing.
For the first time since launching Memoir Writing Ink, Alison will be offering a 12-week series of small group and private coaching sessions. This group will be limited to 8 people.
ALIE: In these weekly sessions, we will tend to the seeds of our writing projects together. We will share the emotional ups and downs that inevitably arise when we do something challenging and meaningful.
There will be quiet writing time every week for you to use however best suits you, as well as the chance to set meaningful accountability goals.
This is not a drop-in, but rather a sacred container of writers who are committed to their practice and to each other. It is also not a workshop. You will be offered the chance to read aloud, but we won’t be giving each other any feedback. Instead, with my support, you will remain focused on your own project.

I know what it’s like to long with your whole being to fully commit to your writing. I know that sometimes it is heaven to be alone with the unbroken page and other times you need company and structure. I would love to be right there beside you as you give your writing the attention it’s been waiting for.
