Welcome to the Inspired Writer Collective

Why Inspired Writer Collective?

Do you have a nagging untold story that seems to follow you around? 

Are you wanting to start writing that story but unsure how to start? 

Are you nervous about your ability to craft the story, how to get it published, or who will read it? 

Do you have a partial story tucked into a back drawer that you just haven't found time to finish?

Don't miss out on the chance to connect with other writers, take your story to the next level, and complete the project you've been dreaming of putting out into the world. 

If you have an idea or writing project in mind but are struggling to find the time to consistently work on it, this community will provide the accountability you need. 

You are also invited to join our cohort courses for tangible ways to get started with the support necessary to navigate the self-doubt and hesitations you're experiencing. 

Joining one of our courses or cohorts gives you access to our broader community. We bring writers together for weekly "Time to Write" sessions, engaging resources, and recorded interviews. By participating, you'll have the opportunity to share your work, receive valuable feedback, and be a part of an empowering community of like-minded individuals who encourage you to show up consistently. 

Still not sure if this community is the right fit? 

Check out a few of our podcast episodes on our YouTube channel or listen to our podcast directly from your favorite podcast app!

We invite you to join us, Elizabeth or Stephanie, for a coffee chat to talk about your idea and what support you need.

Not ready to join us yet? That's ok! We'd still love to send you FREE GUIDES and community updates through our weekly email newsletter. Subscribe here! 

What Others Are Saying

"Writing a memoir feels like such a big undertaking! Breaking it down into manageable steps and having a space to talk about the feelings and revelations that come up via the writing process has been key to continuing to progress. So thankful for the Inspired Writer Collective's Time To Write meetings for helping me carve out and dedicate time to make steady and sustainable progress." - Rebecca, Member

“Writing can be so isolating and lonely. It’s a lot more enjoyable when you share the journey with other writers. This podcast makes me feel like I’m not alone.” - Kristin, Member and Podcast Listener

"Elizabeth and Stephanie aren't gimmicky at all. Their podcast is as genuine as it gets. It's not 30 day challenges or word count goals. There is nothing to live up to. Just show up wherever you are in the writing journey. In the Inspired Writer Collective we no longer write in a vacuum, but celebrate little achievements together on a regular basis. They are figuring out their process as they go, and we are invited to join in because, let's face it, not all of us are English majors or Stephen King." - Katye, Member and Podcast Listener

The Results You'll Get

Our writing community, cohort courses, and membership are pretty special. We’re focused on the ways it will make a huge difference in your life.

Here are a few of the things you’ll be able to do as a member of the Inspired Writer Collective:

• Increase your productivity through weekly live accountability "Time To Write" sessions.
• Improve your storytelling skills through engaging cohort courses, curated genre-specific resources, and weekly journal prompts.

When You Join Today

When you join one of our courses or cohorts in the Inspired Writer Collective, you’ll get access to our:

• Weekly Writing Sessions: Engage in our weekly writing sessions where community members come together to share ideas and write creatively. These sessions offer individual writing time, inspire creative thinking, and enhance the storytelling skills of participating members.
• Weekly Writer Roundtable: Once a week, we get together virtually with our beverage of choice to talk about our current projects, share ideas, commiserate on areas we are struggling and show each other support. 
• Cohort Courses and Curated Resources: Take our classes that are thoughtfully designed to help improve your story writing skills. The cohort courses are small group focuses around a particular genre and writing outcome. For example, the Memoir Master Plan cohort will help you define the core message of your memoir as well as create an initial outline that is clear and cohesive. You'll also receive one-on-one support and feedback at the end of the course to ensure you're feeling confident about the next stage of rough drafting. The courses offer a comprehensive look into elements of storytelling, craft, and the path to publishing, providing tangible benefits for your writing practice. We also offer shorter lessons that focus on genre-specific topics in memoir!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some quick answers to common questions:

1. I'm ready to join a course or cohort. What do I need to do? We are so excited you're ready to take the next step to prioritizing the writing of your story! We are very intentional about how we structure our courses to make sure that each writer gets exactly what we promise (plus a few surprises)! Because these are typically small groups with specific start times and limited spots, we prefer to have a casual coffee chat with each person before enrollment to ensure this is the right fit for you, your schedule, and your story. Chat with one of us today to get started!
2. What happens during the weekly Time To Write meeting? This hour long zoom meeting will open with introductions and setting of writing intentions. We will then shut off our cameras and mute our mics for about 40 minutes. Each writer will be encouraged to spend the time on their desired writing project. A timer will display on the screen so you'll know when to return.  After focused time to write, we will reconvene as a group to celebrate the day's progress and offer brief feedback on any writing struggles members encountered.
3. When do the weekly zoom meetings occur? Meetings are scheduled for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays each week. There will be a morning and evening session on Tuesdays and Thursdays and an afternoon session on Wednesdays to cater to differing schedules. Chat threads are ongoing and we also pop into the community and hold a live meeting on occasion!
