Hey Creatives!
I'm Dr. Helane.
I'm an Author, Actor, and Entrepreneur with +15 academic, journalistic, and creative publications. So I know what it's like to be BUSY and to let that book project fall into the cracks of your calendar...
If you're a professional who is struggling to find the time, direction, clarity, or momentum to finally move that project forward, then here's your invitation to join other like-minded professionals on a unique journey to write your path toward MORE.
We aren't just writing to finish. We're here to help you create a platform for greater impact. Work on your book and prepare for what comes NEXT, whether that's speaking, consulting, coaching, workshops, or meaningful collaborations.
I want to help you build that book into a BRAND that leads to other opportunities and income!
Whether you have an idea or you've got a solid draft, this program will help you finish the book AND prepare for a strategic launch that makes sense for your personal brand.
Hurry and secure your seat because the next cohort begins soon!
Need Accountability?
We got you.
Writing can feel very isolating--and it's easy to procrastinate when you're inventing (and moving!) deadlines...
Book Club members enjoy a Monthly VIP Cohort Meeting where we set goals, dig into our challenges, and offer each other the kind of support that moves our projects forward. Welcome to the Coaching Couch!
You know how I finished and published 2 books within 2 years of each other? I used a co-working model that WORKS. Book Club members have weekly opportunities to write together in virtual co-working sessions.
Trust me on this: You won't believe how much more productive you'll be when you write
in community!

Why Join? Because we're different.
Do you operate in cycles? Are you empathic, maybe an introverted extrovert (that's a thing)? Or...maybe just a little controlling about your creativity? It's all just part of our charm--and the framework for a lot of our talent. We work differently--odd schedules, un/written rules and all. We get it!
Whatever you're working on, you're in the company of like-minded professionals, other Creative & Academic professionals who understand the uniqueness of this journey, the complexity of our process, and the potential impact of what we're creating.

Testimonials
FAQs
Your Questions, Answered!
How does the process work?
First, we'll start with a goal-setting session where we'll tackle writing mindset hurdles and determine the most productive plan to meet your goals. Then, we'll get you signed up for your monthly cohort meetings and figure out the most productive time slots for you to write and to participate in co-working sessions. You can begin The Course on Day 1 or when the time is right for you, so you can get started building your brand and creating content you can use in your project as well.
What is co-working and how does it work?
Co-working is when a group of people get together to work in the same space. The Book Club will meet virtually to work on our individual projects within the same virtual space. This process allows for mutual accountability. Even for people who don't usually like to work around others (me either!), it's proven to help people with their productivity, no matter what they're working on.
Will this work with my schedule?
Absolutely. The unique part of Book Club is that the schedule is built specifically for YOU and your cohort. Monthly meetings are scheduled once the cohort is formed to ensure that they are convenient. Weekly writing at co-working sessions as well as other writing and coaching opportunities are scheduled in advance at different intervals and times each week to ensure that there are morning, afternoon, and evening sessions available each week, so you can participate even when your schedule changes.
How long is the Book Club experience?
The Book Club begins in June and extends through December. That's 7 months of writing and brand development support for your project!
How long does the Write Your Path Course take to complete?
The Course is designed to be completed in as little as 12 weeks. Everyone works at a different pace, so you can move as quickly or as slowly as you see fit. Remember, this isn't one of those small bites; this course is comprehensive. It's designed to help you set up everything you need for creativepreneurship, including clarifying your message and clients/audience, setting up your financial strategy, organizing your workflow and systems, finding your unique voice, and choosing the perfect style for your project. It even provides a map to create a strategic launch for your project!
Is there a payment plan option?
Yes! There are several plans available through our payment system. AND, those who pay in full will get a FREE Content Creator Workshop where I'll teach you how to transform your book's message into content you can use to build your speaking platform. ($200 value)
And, remember to consult with your Accountant about the potential tax deduction benefits of education and training for your new creative business!
What's the difference between developmental editing and proofreading?
Proofreading is final stage, close-range grammar, punctuation, and sentence-level corrective work. Developmental editing is part of the publishing process that provides high-level focus on your structure, the soundness of your framework, the consistency within the manuscript content, and so on. Developmental editors provide guidance and suggestions for revision in structure and organization to keep your manuscript accountable for its aims.
