Novel & Nonfiction November: A 30-Day Writing Challenge

You’ve been meaning to write that book. You’ve been talking about writing that book. You’ve been self-flagellating for NOT writing the book. November is the month you actually make some damn progress.

Write Your Damn Book is a 30-day writing challenge designed to give you the three things you need to make serious progress on your big writing project: accountability, community, and focused time to write.

Every day in November, we’ll meet live on Zoom for one hour of dedicated writing time. No endless craft lessons. No waiting around for inspiration to strike. Just a supportive group of writers showing up, keeping their butts in their seats, and getting words on the page.

By the end of the month, you’ll have logged 30 hours of focused writing time and made at least 22,500 words of progress on your project—and probably a whole lot more. 

Bring the idea for your novel, memoir, essay collection, nonfiction book, or whatever damn book you’ve been meaning to write. You don’t need to start from scratch (this works for a much-needed revision too!) and you don’t need to finish by November 30th. The goal is simpler and a lot more attainable: show up every day and move your book forward.

Writing a book can feel lonely. Finding time to write can feel impossible. And the difference between I want to write a book and I’m legit writing a book is just the commitment of showing up every day.

For 30 days, this is your commitment mechanism. 

What you’ll get:

• 30 one-hour live Zoom writing sessions (recordings included)

• Daily accountability and dedicated writing time

• A small, supportive community of writers working alongside you 

• Momentum on the book you’ve been putting off

• At least 22,500 new words on the page if you follow the daily writing goal

Limited to 25 writers.

Price: $239

Stop waiting for the perfect time to write your book. There is no perfect time. November is the time. Join us!

Testimonial:

“This program was exactly what I needed to get out of my head and start taking action in building my writer's platform. There are so many "experts" out there telling us all the things we should be doing to build a platform—Twitter/X, Threads, IG, Facebook groups, Substack Notes, podcast pitching, newsletter sending, ugh! It’s completely overwhelming. The genius of Courtney’s program was its simplicity—one small daily action, every day. It never felt hard because she told us exactly what to focus on every day—no more decision fatigue. And all we had to do was that one assigned thing and keep chipping away, 1% at a time. But 60 days later, looking back, all those tiny daily actions together really moved the needle! Without Courtney’s program and coaching, I would've for sure stayed stuck and paralyzed by overwhelm from all the things I “should” be doing. But now I know that platform-building doesn’t need to be soul-crushing and can absolutely be done in a sustainable way. Thanks, Courtney!”
