Spring 2025 events and courses

Join me on Substack and beyond

Hi there!

I hope you’re well.

As you may know, I run four enterprises (thinking of them as “enterprises” gets me out of bed when I’d rather snuggle with the cats): Substack Writers at Work; the Substack Mastermind; my Substack Foundations Online Course; and my new school (!), the Writers at Work Studio.

The Mastermind is sold out, but you can get on the waitlist here to be notified of upcoming openings.

• The Mastermind is the equivalent of working with me 1:1 in a group setting for an entire year.

• May and June Masterclasses and Mastermind Calls where I take committed Substack writers and creators through my entire Substack Strategy Framework, covering their Substack DNA, growth strategy, paid strategy, engagement strategy, and network strategy for long-term growth and income potential. Mastermind members go here for more.

Substack Foundations Courses

• The Substack Success Foundations online course is made up of bite-sized videos that give you everything you need to know to set up your Substack to succeed without all the noise and overwhelm that comes with trying to cobble together information.

• By popular demand, I’ll be running the live Substack Success Foundations Live: Proven Strategies for Subscriber Growth in 4 Weeks May 30 - June 21 (pre-order here)

*Separate from the paid subscription. Mastermind members will get access to the live Foundations Class recordings.

Writers at Work Studio

The Studio is the primary space to study with me as a business coach and writing teacher and mentor for years to come. Studio intensives and workshops are geared toward helping writers, creators, and visionaries create profitable businesses and learn the writing craft skills they need to earn an income in the real world. (I may be changing the name. Stay tuned.)
