This is the book writing container I wish I had when I was writing my memoir.

Writing a book isn’t easy. It’s not always fun either. You may shed tears. You may want to give up. You may scream “who cares about my puny story?” into your pillow from time to time. But what I can promise you is this: I will create the space, share everything I learned along the way and introduce you to the agents, editors, and publicity folks to make your book dream a reality.

Over the last six years I’ve not only sold two books to Big 5 publishers, and published one to wide acclaim, I’ve helped others write and publish their books and essays too. And in that time I’ve figured out the method to help you cross the finish line with a completed manuscript and come out the other side transformed.

This six-month writing boot camp will help you get words on the page and develop the structure and connective tissue that will give your book its glue. Whether you are writing creative non-fiction, memoir, or prescriptive nonfiction, are early in the writing process or already have a rough draft, the magic will happen with Ruthie’s guidance and feedback.
