Hello, Writer is a 6-week course for writers who aren’t yet writing, leaders who aren’t yet leading, and speakers who aren’t yet speaking. This course will teach you how to uncover and develop your ideas, understand your reader, write for an online platform, edit your work, and get unstuck at every turn. The goal is to take your writing less seriously so you can publish more often and more confidently. By the end of Hello, Writer, you’ll be a self-expressed writer with the tools, support, and bravery to get past your roadblocks and say what’s in your heart and on your mind.

Julia’s course also offers a second stream for 1:1 coaching for an additional fee. Writers who upgrade to Stream B will join Julia and 5 peers in weekly “Hot-Seat Coaching” group sessions, where each writer benefits from verbalizing their ideas and goals with peers, receiving personalized coaching, and learning from the thought process of other writers. Hot-Seat Coaching also provides you with the necessary accountability to do what you say you’re going to do — press publish!

The 1:1 hot-seat coaching sessions were helpful in fleshing out my ideas. I didn’t think I needed to talk about them but once I got to doing it, I realized it was really nice talking about your writing. It made me feel like my ideas were really good.

–Justine Janssen, Hello, Writer Alumna

Saturday “Hot Seat Coaching” for Stream B

Each student gets 10 minutes in the “hot seat” with instructor Julia Rose to discuss their topic for the next week. This time helps you brainstorm if you’re stuck, find your hook, clarify why the topic matters to you, and ensure you’re ready to write and publish before the following Wednesday’s class.
