The Atelier
By Invitation Only
A bespoke private partnership for writers who seek a partner from beginning to end.
Who You Are
A woman with a story you want to tell. You prefer 1:1 instruction and partnership to develop your manuscript from beginning to completion. You seek 1:1 high-touch collaboration designed to support both the manuscript and your development of your author platform.
What You Leave With
A fully developed manuscript and either: 1) preparation of self-publishing platform or 2) a clear plan for pursuit of traditional or boutique publishing.
Investment
Due to the highly individualized nature of this work, private partnerships begin at $25,000 with bespoke pricing tailored to the scope, timeline, and strategic needs of each project.
Limited to 3 authors at a time.
The Editorial
By Application
This three-phase, six-month program allows you to have the best of both worlds—private 1:1 collaboration and access to an inspiring author community—as you begin writing. This program provides you with a roadmap and a support system to finish your manuscript while making meaningful connections with like-minded authors.
During your program, you will have twelve (12) 1:1 sessions and six (6) cohort sessions with written feedback in between sessions.
Who You Are
A woman with a story you want to tell and a desire to collaborate directly with your editor while also gaining insights and building relationships with other authors.
Phase 1: June 1, 2026 to August 1, 2026
Providing flexibility for your life demands, we will meet 1:1 for Voice and Vision sessions. You will gain clarity on the 3 Ws: what you’re writing, who you’re becoming in sharing this story, and why you’re writing.
Understanding the 3 Ws is what will keep you motivated to the end of your manuscript.
We will map out your writing plan, provide a framework for your author platform, and work on identity and clarity exercises.
We will move at your pace. If you’d like to begin substantial writing earlier than August, you will have the editorial and accountability to do so.
Phase 2: August 1, 2026 to October 1, 2026
You will continue your 1:1 work, executing your writing plan with consistent support and feedback.
Beginning in September, our aspiring author cohorts will convene. Building your author community will provide you with long-lasting professional and personal relationships, give you an audience to pressure-test your work, and help you continue to refine your voice and vision for the story.
Phase 3: October 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026
Now that you’ve gained clarity and comfort with stepping into your role as an author, you will continue the 1:1s, the cohort work, with the goal of refining your manuscript to a professional, publishable standard.
Throughout the entire program, you will have direct editorial guidance and partnership in 1:1 editorial sessions and curated cohort engagement.
What You Leave With
A full manuscript, a comprehensive editorial letter, and a clarity on your ideal publishing pathway.

This three-phase, six-month program is for the author who wants regular feedback and collaboration with other authors, while working 1:1 occasionally to refine voice and vision.
Phase 1: June 1, 2026 to August 1, 2026
You will have two 1:1 90-minute Voice and Vision sessions to gain clarity and insights on your 3 Ws: what you’re writing, who you’re becoming, and why you’re sharing this story.
Phase 2: August 1, 2026 to October 1, 2026
You’ll begin building your manuscript with structure, guidance, and momentum. You will have monthly 1:1s with direct editorial feedback.
Beginning in September, you will be assigned to a curated cohort of like-minded authors with a curriculum designed to move your manuscript forward and make significant progress.
Phase 3: October 1, 2026 to December 31, 2026
You will continue monthly 1:1s with direct editorial feedback, focused on the output, 50-100 polished manuscript pages, a writing strategy with direction and momentum, and clarity on your desired publishing pathway.
