Start Writing with Shay

If You’ve Tried Writing Before, You Know the Pattern.

You buy the course… but no one sees your work.
You join the group… but there’s no structure to grow.
You start strong… and lose momentum by week three.

This workshop was built to solve that.

You'll get:

  • 6 weeks of two-hour nonfiction writing immersion
  • Live instruction rooted in memoir best practices
  • Consistent peer and facilitator feedback
  • A structured progression so your writing evolves

  • Between-session engagement that keeps you accountable

What if I’ve started writing before and lost momentum?

This isn’t passive learning. And it isn’t a drop-in circle.

You’re not alone. Writing in isolation is hard. The combination of weekly structure, shared accountability, and supportive feedback is what helps many writers finally move forward with work they’ve been carrying for years. It’s a guided, craft-driven online memoir workshop designed to move you forward — with a facilitator who knows how to generate ideas, shape narrative, hold structure, and help writers actually complete what they start.
