The Wyrd Writers Collective costs $300 a month with a six-month minimum commitment. In return you’ll receive hours of course materials, live support, and a welcoming community where you can get your questions answered. 

We've got three times blocked for live events, spread across days and times to meet the needs of writers in various timezones with all different kinds of schedules. 

Live events take place:

• Mondays, 4-6pm Pacific
• Tuesdays, 9-11am Pacific
• Wednesdays, 1-3pm Pacific

Craft webinars, facilitated critique groups, and coaching calls are always recorded for those who can't be there live. And of course, you can schedule your own write-ins and chats right in the community even when I'm not available to join! This community is for you.

We’ve already made so much magic in the first few months of the Wyrd Writers Collective! In November, I taught a Craft Magic workshop about the seven key scenes that should be part of your story. It’s a solid introduction to a topic that can be tricky for writers–story structure.

I spent our next coaching call debriefing on the topic with Workshop participants. We worked through questions and applied the concepts to each of their stories. We also identified a lot of confusion about how to write at the scene level. Everyone had reviewed my Understanding Scene lecture, but they were having trouble putting them into practice in their stories. 

It’s such a common problem…You’ve read all the books, attended all the classes, but you need help putting it into practice. That’s where I come in!

So we all did a bonus assignment: diagram the six parts of a scene in both a real-live scene from a comp titles and in a scene from the work-in-progress. I even brought a scene from my brand-new story. 

And guess what? We made magic! We took the concepts I introduced in the course materials and applied them hands-on together as a group. Every single participant commented that it was hugely helpful. They understood this tricky topic much better after our series of calls on scene. It was the kind of supportive learning environment I’d dreamed of creating when I first got the idea for this program. And there’s still time for you to be a part of it.

Breaking down craft concepts and getting 1:1 help is exactly what you can expect from this magical group coaching program. 

I’m not going to lie, I see huge value in peer critique. But I also know it can be a sore subject, especially for writers who have had negative experiences in past workshops. That’s why peer critique is not required in the Wyrd Writers Collective. We do hold optional facilitated critique sessions once a month for those who are interested or would like to learn more about them in a safe, low-pressure environment.

Yes, but the thing is I'd rather equip you with tools you can use to write a lifetime of stories than read a full manuscript for you. 

So many writers reach out to me after paying thousands of dollars for a critique that they have no idea how to implement in their stories. I don't want that to happen to you.

Inside the Wyrd Writers Collective you’ll be empowered to see your story clearly while at the same time learning the craft tools necessary to build your drafting, revision, and pitching plans with confidence!

Wyrd (pronounced “weird”) means fate or destiny in Germanic traditions and is the rune that represents Yggdrasil, the world tree, in Norse mythology. As someone who has been told I was “too weird” pretty much all my life, this alternate, expansive understanding of what “weirdness” could mean thrills me.

If you set out each day to change the world with your stories, but worry you or your stories are too weird, I want to know you. I want to read them. I’m wyrd too. Let’s embrace it and work together. I can help you slay those doubt demons so that you can send your work out into the world with confidence.

It used to make me feel so lonely, so wrong, so “other,” when people called me or my stories or my ideas weird. Now when they say that, I just thank them, because what they don’t know is that Weird is my superpower, my inner source of strength. And it can be yours too.
