6-week program Starting Wednesday September 4 2024. 6 writers only!

Follow your literary dreams and create the best version of your book

Do you have an idea that’s been percolating in your head, but no idea what to do with it? How to build it up? How to know if it even has legs—let alone mould it into a cohesive plot with compelling characters?

Or, do you have a completed manuscript, but know that it needs some help?

In this 6-week writer coaching program you will work closely with Alisha Sevigny to create the best version of your book and move it toward publication!

You will improve your craft and your book with weekly feedback on your writing, enjoy motivation and accountability, and join a fun, supportive community of your fellow writers.

Stop agonizing over your book

Look, you've spent enough time trying to get the story inside of your mind out onto the page.

You've read countless blogs on three-act structures and creating relatable characters.

You've tried your best to stay motivated long enough to finish a first draft.

You've learned how to plaster a smile on your face and spew vague answers when your friends ask about the progress of your book.

You could stay in this place, confused about the path to publication, unsure of your talent.

You could continue trading pages with amateur writing friends you met online, scrolling through blogs, wasting time on Twitter.

...But we'd rather help you leave a legacy for the world in the pages of your book!

Your Transformation

In this program you will go from confused about character development, voice, and pacing to clear on how to write authentically and hold readers' attention...

From overwhelmed by the publishing process to clear on the exact steps needed to get to bookstore shelves...

From writing inconsistently to producing 10 or 20 quality pages per week...

From unsure if your writing is any good to confident that readers, agents, and publishers will compete to get your book...

From writing alone in a vacuum, to writing in a supportive, enlightening, motivating, and fun community with talented peers and curated resources, under the guidance of an experienced industry insider and a team of experts.

What to expect

From our experience helping hundreds of writers with their novels (and being writers ourselves), we know that writers improve fastest when they share their writing, get feedback, then incorporate that information into their work.

The best kind of feedback is from an expert in the field, someone who has written and published several books, edited numerous others, and helped publish many authors as a literary agent—someone like Award-winning author Alisha Sevigny , who will lead this coaching program.

Because this program is limited to 6 writers, everyone will have a chance to share their work each week and receive critical feedback to revise and improve their manuscript.

At the end of the 6-week program, you will have part or all of a book written, and you will be well-positioned to publish, either traditionally or by self-publishing.

Are you struggling to world-build, create authentic characters, or pace your book in a way that will engage readers?

But you're committed to your craft and up for the challenge. You're meant to do this!

At the end of this 6-week program, you’ll use the feedback you receive from Award-winning author Alisha Sevigny , and your peers, to raise your writing and your book to the next level, and move toward publication.

What Writers Are Saying About Alisha Sevigny

"Working with Alisha was wonderful — from pitching to her via email to meeting in person to discuss her evaluation. Alisha made it easy to work together as she is always pleasant and genuinely cares about helping writers. I appreciate that she offered lots of encouragement and specific recommendations to help make my book the best it can be."
— Marisa B., Toronto

"I really benefited from the clear comments on my manuscript that Alisha provided me. They were concise, very helpful and improved my knowledge of the writing trade. Her comments certainly improved the quality my non-fiction book."
— James B., Orillia

"Alisha was a great help in reviewing and in helping to refine my pitch for my novel before sending it off to a literary agent."
— Rhesa S., Toronto

"Alisha combed through my 140,000 word manuscript offering many different strategies that I could employ to bring it down to the recommended maximum word count (under 100,000) for the genre in which it would be classified. Readers have since told me that they were most impressed with the tightness and pace of the book, feeling that every line was worth reading. There is no doubt in my mind that this high praise was due to Alisha's keen instinct for what a reader wants and needs in order to keep turning the page. Indeed, this, I would say, is the hallmark of Alisha's own writing. She pointed out plot and character inconsistencies that I had missed, even after much scrutiny and gently curtailed my penchant for overly verbose descriptions. She provides a thorough and discerning voice that will allow you to reconsider and/or validate your work from a fresh and knowledgeable perspective, always keeping the writer's delicate ego in mind. A pleasure to work with from beginning to end."
