Three Class Bundle

Buy 2 classes and get the third one FREE! 

This is a powerful way to start writing in 2015.

I've packaged two of my most popular writing classes with my brand new One-Moment Memoirs workshop. This bundle gives you a powerful writing experience that starts with you unlocking the stories you want to tell, continues with you diving deep into those stories, and concludes with you building a writing life you love.

These three classes are packed with writing techniques, exercises, prompts, and inspiration. Let 2015 be the year you dive into your writing! (These classes are appropriate for writers at all levels of experience.) 

>Discover your stories and start writing with One-Moment Memoirs. (live, virtual class on January 24)

>Create deeper meaning and connection with Write into the Heart of Your Story. (February 1-28)

>Embrace your unique, sustainable writing process with The Writing Life: Rituals, Rhythms, & Practices. (March 15 - April 11)

While each of these online writing classes can be taken individually, they are designed to work together to give you a phenomenal creative experience that 1) gets your writing started, 2) takes your writing deeper, and 3) empowers you to create momentum for your writing life.  

With the Three Class Bundle, you get all 3 classes for the price of 2. In other words, register for two classes and get the third class FREE. If you registered for each class separately, you'd pay $197. With the bundle, the price is just $145. 

Go deeper: You also have the option to add personalized editorial feedback on your writing for the One-Moment Memoir Workshop for just $50 (normally $75). [How feedback works: I will read your one-moment memoir (up to 750 words), plus the notes you wrote during the OMM writing exercises, and provide you with detailed, written feedback. My approach to editorial feedback is to be kind and constructive.]

NOTE: The email address associated with your PayPal information is the one we'll use to contact you. If you prefer to use a different address, please tell us in the "notes to seller" during check-out. After you register, you will receive a confirmation email. If you do not receive a confirmation email, please contact Jenna: jenna{at}thewordcellar{dot}com.

One-Moment Memoirs (OMM) is a live 3-hour class conducted via conference call. (The call will be recorded and sent to everyone who registers.) OMM is a step-by-step process to help you take a relaxed, yet focused approach to telling life's big and small stories in bite-sized pieces. If I could give you one thing to help you tell the stories of your life, it would be the unique step-by-step process that I share in this class.

What Students Say...
"All my life, I've wanted to write, but I was either too confused about where to start or too frustrated after just a few paragraphs. The process you teach in One-Moment Memoirs has enabled me to move past the confusion and the frustration. For the first time in my life, I feel like I can tell my story. This process is amazing! Thank you so much for this!" (James, OMM student)

Write into the Heart of Your Story is a one-month online class that teaches you how to improve your writing by using proven techniques to creating greater meaning and connection. Writing strong, engaging essays and stories from your life is about more than recording a series of events. This class gives you an amazing collection of writing tools that will get you into the heart and soul of your stories. This class will show you how to take what you started in OMM and craft it into something beautiful and memorable.

What Students Say...
"Jenna, thank you for your guidance. This is a life-changing experience for me.  For the first time in my life I am allowing myself time to write. I am also accountable, which makes it harder for me to find excuses not to. I just feel so blessed to have found you." (L., Write into the Heart of Your Story student)

The Writing Life: Rituals, Rhythms, & Practices is a one-month online class in which you'll explore every facet of your writing life, from your inner creative process to your external environment. When you understand your unique creative process, you'll be more relaxed, more prolific, and more consistent in your writing practice. This class harnesses the energy and excitement you'll gather during the first two classes and empowers you to create a sustainable writing life that works for you. The Writing Life class is fun and experiential -- the perfect way to round out your three class bundle and keep the momentum going. 

What Students Say...
"This class changed my relationship to my writing in deep fundamental ways. The lessons and ideas explored helped to remove the thick heavy should's of writing that stole the joy of writing from me. Jenna's gentle guidance and clarity gave me permission to seek and settle into what works for me as a writer. This class helped me want to write, not feel like I should write. My expectations of myself have been right-sized, and writing is enjoyable again. I am glad I took the time to explore these issues and find out what works for me." (Kira Elliott, The Writing Life student)

Logistics

All you need to participate in all three classes is an email address and a phone (for OMM). Each group will also have an online community (housed on Facebook), but participation is optional. 

About Your Facilitator

I've worked as a professional freelance writer, editor, and creative coach since 2003. I've been teaching online writing courese since 2010. In that time, I've worked with nearly 400 students, plus dozens of writers in my one-on-one coaching sessions.

I received my MFA in Writing from Vermont College of Fine Arts, and I hold a BA in English. In addition to teaching online, I have also taught and spoken in-person at the BlogHer Conference, the the Soul Sisters Conference, and the Be Present Retreats. (Learn more about my credentials here.)

As a workshop facilitator and instructor, I think of myself less as a teacher and more as asharer: one who shares. I've learned a lot about writing and living the writing life through my experience and education. I want to share that with you.

I believe in art for art's sake, in the importance of beauty, in the power of words, and in the karma of kindness.
