Writing Your Recovery
A powerful 8-week online memoir-writing course.
We all have a story—our stories—to tell. Excavating those narratives, finding the courage to give voice to our secrets, takes time. I believe that writing is a process of discovery. At the heart of good writing is finding your voice: a compelling, authentic voice. To locate that voice, each individual must get in touch with what's most integral in their experience. This is a journey.
Writing Your Recovery is a popular eight-week memoir-writing course. I believe we’re all recovering from something—be it substance use or heartache or empty-nest syndrome. In these weekly two-hour classes, I will teach you how to get started; how to deal with structure; how to use your five senses; how to silence the inner critic; how to get published. I will help you transform your personal story into writing you love. Join a warm community of like-minded writers, and begin your process of creative discovery. And if you want more? Supplement the course with group coaching or one-on-one editing.

“Working with Ann has been the best decision I’ve made in years. I started in Writing Your Recovery pretty sure I’d never write a thing worth reading out loud, but eager to learn. I’m now in my second round of Writing Your Discovery and have a book underway! Ann’s careful stewardship and encouragement was exactly what I needed to rediscover my love of writing. I am officially a writer again, and I owe that in large part to Ann.”
