A student once told me she didn’t want to write about the pain—it was too much. I asked her to name one great piece of art that didn’t come from fear, trauma, or the rawness of being human. She couldn’t. Because the truth is, art comes from what we can’t swallow. That’s what this course is for.

 

Writing From the Gut was built for the story you can’t let go of—the one that sits in your chest, waiting to be told. Whether it’s a book, a short film, or an idea that won’t stop chasing you, this mentorship is where we face it.

 

You’ll start with a private one-on-one Zoom session with me to dive into your idea. Then over five weeks, we’ll meet in a small group to write, share, and get honest about what you’re really trying to say. No polish, no perfection—just truth.

 

This isn’t about outlines or formatting. It’s about going in. Because when you write from the gut, you finally say what needs to be said.
