I had a student in a class say after a free-write session that she didn’t want to go into the pain. She didn’t like it there. None of us like it there, I understand. I asked her to name one great artist or piece of art that did NOT come from that space of fear, trauma, pain, examination of the world, and this thing called being human. She didn’t have an answer. I’ll tell you the answer - there are none. The deep desire for an artist is to express what cannot be swallowed. Whether that be the world around you or your own existence. Turning that into creativity and creativity into an art form is the true definition of an artist. 

So many of my previous students have spoken about that story they MUST tell. As well as so many of you asking for me to read your piece.  I want to get to all of you, truly! I just simply cannot as this community is 100 deep at this point. This is why I created this FIRST group mentoring session! For YOU to finally get into that story with me to guide you. I NEEDED to write my book, Jennifer's Way, which became a NY Times bestseller. Just like I needed to make FRESH KILLS. That’s what we will do in these sessions- get you working on what you NEED to express through the story.

And, It’s time!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe you’ve started it by now. Maybe you haven’t. Maybe it’s been sitting in the back of your throat, making it hard to breathe. If it’s a book, a short film, or a feature idea that won’t go away no matter how many times you push it down, it’s time to stop running from it. And I’m offering this space to do just that.

Writing From the Gut won’t be about structure or outlines or making it all look pretty. This is about truth. The kind that lives in your body, the kind you feel before you even understand what it is you’re trying to say. This course is about going in—not out. It’s about writing the thing you’ve been holding back, the thing you’re scared might be too much, too messy, too personal. The thing that, if you let it out, might just set you free.

This was my experience with FRESH KILLS. I truly didn’t realize just how much I was trying to expel from my body, my past, and my soul until years into writing it. We don’t have years to figure it out. So let’s get to it!

You’ll begin this five-week journey with a PRIVATE 40-minute Zoom session WITH ME, one-on-one to tell me your idea/story.  You’ll choose one story, one idea, or one theme to work with throughout. It can be something you’ve already started or something you’re ready to explore for the first time. No distractions. Just the story you're dying to tell. We’ll dig deep. It’ll be honest. And we will set a plan to move forward.

Over five weeks, we’ll meet as a small group. I’ll guide you through a mix of writing and deep creative excavation—ways to quiet the noise and finally hear what you have to say.  I’ll give you a weekly prompt personalized for your work and one piece of inspiration. 

Each week afterward, we’ll meet live as a group and you will share your work and get notes/feedback from a supportive group.

This course will help you understand what you're actually trying to say in your piece and a plan to do so.

Here’s what you get:

  • We start the journey with a PRIVATE 40 Min session with me to talk about your idea/script/book. 

  • 5- Week live group mentorship sessions

  • One weekly writing prompt to go deep, not surface.

  • One piece of weekly inspiration—film, prose, or screenplay—to use for fuel.

  • A guided body-based practice each week to get you out of your head and into your gut.

  • A chance to focus on one story, one theme, or one idea and bring it to life.

  • Real-time support, honest feedback, and a space where your truth is welcome.

This is for the ones who are done holding back. The ones who want to make something real. The ones who feel like there’s something inside that has to come out, even if it terrifies you. ESPECIALLY if it terrifies you, THAT’S what creates the best art.

Let’s write from the gut. Let’s stop performing. Let’s start telling the truth.

It’s needed now more than ever.

I’m only offering this to previous students at the moment and will be keeping this class intimate. You will be asked to submit a writing sample. Does NOT need to be anything that’s perfect- just something to show your style. 

No refunds.
