Get Coached by Elizabeth~
I LOVE helping writers get focused and get on fire about finishing their manuscripts and sharing their stories with the world!!!!
Most people believe that the have to struggle or write like this person or that person, but that's not so... There is NO ONE RIGHT WAY to write a book! There are guidelines, tricks and tips that can make the way smoother, ALWAYS something new you can learn, but the end goal is the same, bring your finished piece from your head and your heart and be able to share it.
Another myth that trips writers up from finishing, is overwhelm. Why do you feel the need to know ALL THE THINGS?? It's okay to start with what you know and build on that. You just need to know the NEXT step.
It's too easy to become distracted and want to procrastinate and give in to writer's block if you try to learn everything all at once... and, can I be honest here? If you don't have a completed manuscript, you're not going to need any of that other stuff anyway...
You are a writer. Your first job is to write.
That's exactly why I started this coaching group. It's not my job to try and get you to write like me... it's my job to get your focused and motivated. I help you reign in your doubts and point out your strengths. I help you to grow as a creative with your own ideas, and work ethic, but with enough experience that I can guide you to reach your next levels.
I'm not here to hover over you or try to make you fit into a mold. I want to teach you, hold you accountable, cheer you on, and grow from areas of weakness.
Because of the intimate nature of the group, I limit it to only 12 participants per group. I am specifically looking for those who have started on thier manuscript and have direction for its completion. I'm looking for those who have a desire to work through issues to get to "The End" and not give up when it gets hard or their muse is quiet. If you have a generous heart and are willing to lift others up and be willing to be put yourself out there... keep reading.
If you are excited about completing your book, but need a bit of direction, accountability and coaching, let me know if you'd like to be considered for one of the spots.
These spaces are only available four times per year and fill up fast.

The Mountain Group
This group is for those who are comfortable in the writing world and have perhaps completed a novel or two, but just need support, accountability and continued learning to improve the craft.

How is this different from writing courses?
You don't necessarily need more education... if you are here, you know the necessary things to get started. (If not- jump into the podcast to get you going! )
There are times when we need to work alone to get into our thoughts and dig deep to get the actual work done, but for far too long we have been told that writer's must face this journey alone and I just don't agree with that.
We all have to start at the beginning and that includes not knowing any of the particulars of writing a book! Why not take advantage of others who have been there before you, and can offer you short cuts? Why not learn from your coach and other peers in the industry? Why not get regular feedback and encouragement to keep moving forward?
So many writers get overwhelmed with the information that they think they have to learn BEFORE finishing their book and most often, they never finish. There really is a thing called "writer's block". There really is a thing called a "slump". But what if you had support, guidance and accountability to get your through it? What if when you get stuck or distracted, you had a cheering section and others who relied on you as well?
With the design of this program, I have put all of those things in place. You don't need more education (and when you do, we'll cover that when we get there) but you do need to get your book written, or you won't need any of that other stuff anyway!
Writing a book is an emotional roller-coaster that only other writers can relate to. This is an intense group of people with a common goal, common set-backs, common struggles and desire for a big win, but also uniquely creative in their thought and writing processes. I make things very personal in helping you achieve your writing goals.
Will you be in that small percentage who rise above and publish?
Or will you be part of that 85% of people who never get that book to the finish line.

What is the greater value?
I keep these groups small so you can really grow as a writer. I want to know each of you and your projects and be the best source of encouragement and experience that I can be.
I want you to feel like you've found your people... You've found the place where you can belong and feel comfortable and brave enough to keep pushing forward, even though it's hard.
I have seen where creatives can do amazing things when they are surrounded by the right people and this type of coaching program creates that environment over and over again.
I want you to get the support you need to help you reach your goals and beyond. I don't want you to watch a bunch of videos and then just get sent out into the world to figure it out on your own. I want you to succeed. I want to see your name in print. Which is why I only work with those who have finally reached that point that they are ready to finish their book no matter what.
Working together in these groups also builds your own network. When it comes time to publish and launch you'll have a full team in your corner! You'll be able to launch with confidence knowing you've spent this time in the presence of built in beta readers, critique partners, and even raving fans!
There are plenty of obstacles to overcome. There are many challenges you will have to face. There are many facets you have to learn... but if you're ready to dive in and go deep, I'll be here for you, every step of the way.

What is the cost?
You have two choices for your convenience:
Four payments of $600
-or-
A one-time payment of $1,997.00 (saving over $400)
There is a $200 deposit required at the time of application submission. This is completely refundable if you are not chosen to join, or applied to your total if you've accepted the invitation.
7 day guarantee. (This is for my over-thinkers and processors! Lol! You know who you are! I don't want you to miss your spot, but if you get freaked out, you have 7days to think it through and be okay with it, or you can bail until you're ready.)If for any reason you are not happy with the group coaching program, you can receive a full refund within those 7 days. (You will no longer have access to the Library or future deliverables and downloadables and Masterclasses.)
In order for the session to run smoothly each group must have a minimum of four people and no more than 16. I try to keep each group at 12. If there are less than four, at the time the session is scheduled to begin, I may add you to an existing group, or ask for you to wait until the next session.
I screen each applicant very carefully to attempt to make a cohesive and nurturing group to give a helpful and beneficial experience. And of course, I am very hands on and here when you need me, but I also do not hover to allow you creative freedom. This coaching program also encourages relationships with your other members so you have a built in support system that you use and give back in to help each other grow.
I am in love with this coaching program and think that it is the best out there. I am looking forward to getting to know you and hear what gift you have to share with the world.
