Memoir Mastermind
Sold OUT
Does it feel like you’re writing in a vacuum and you can no longer tell what's resonating with readers? Or maybe your memoir or essay project is at a standstill because you have no deadlines and accountability.
This is a feedback-focused mastermind limited to a small group of writers who are ready to finally take their writing to the next level. We’ll meet twice a month for 5 months, and each writer will get workshopped & coached each time--a 20-25 min hot-seat time dedicated solely to you each session.
This Mastermind combines the perks of one-on-one mentorship with the community of an intimate cohort. Don’t let any more months pass without making progress on your projects. Finally get the feedback you need in order to finish and publish. Join the ranks of the 15 writers who have published their books in the last 3 years.
One-on One Consultation
STARTING AT $597
If you already have a draft of your essay, chapters, or entire book but you need to know how it resonates with an audience, manuscript consultations help you make your writing irresistible to agents, editors, and readers.
Here's how it works: You turn in your draft, Nadine reads it and gives thorough written feedback, then you join her for an encouraging consultation on Zoom. So many writers waste years getting overlooked by agents and editors because they didn't have their manuscript reviewed with a critical eye. Bypass the wait (and the pain of rejections) by taking the fast track to publishing town with this powerful one-on-one consultation.
