Stop People Pleasing on the Page

To speak truth to power you've got to get real with yourself first: What do you really want? What do you really need to say? What are you really thinking about? In this two-hour memoir master class we're going to talk about how you can set down other people's expectations — real or imagined — and stop sacrificing your creative spirit in the name of pleasing other people. We'll find inspiration in the wisdom and words of other writers, pinpoint your specific writing fear and you'll learn exercises you can do when you feel your courage to be honest begin to falter.

Please note: This class will not be recorded. This is a live class, please ensure that you are able to attend the date and time as refunds will not be issued.
