This 6-month, book-writing boot camp is for writers committed to working on a draft of their book. This course will help you set clear goals, write, and revise with a tight-knit community of writers to support you and hold you accountable along the way.
Whether you are writing creative non-fiction, or memoir, are early in the writing process or already have a rough draft, the magic will happen with Ruthie’s guidance and feedback. This class will help you get words on the page and develop the structure and connective tissue that will give your book its glue.
In addition to the participants’ own work, the class will explore the work of some of the most exciting authors writing today: Carmen Maria Machado, Leslie Jameson, Lidia Yuknavitch, T Kira Madden, Jenny Ofill and more. We will also have guest speakers—authors, agents, editors and publicists—who will offer insights on the writing and publishing landscape.
You will generate material weekly and walk away with the direction to make your book dream a reality.
You'll be in good hands. Ruthie has worked with hundreds of writers to turn their ideas into narrative gold. Her clients have received major non-fiction book deals with Simon & Schuster, HarperCollins, and more. They’ve gotten agent representation by Aevitas Creative Management, Park & Fine Literary and Media and Janklow & Nesbit. And her clients’ essays have been published in The New York Times, Catapult, Tablet, Health Magazine, New England Journal of Medicine, Well + Good and more.
Ruthie’s not only an accomplished editor, she’s a writer too. You can find her essays in Glamour, O Magazine, the New York Times, The Atlantic, The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Salon, Slate, Newsweek, and more. Most recently, she was the Deputy Editor at ForbesWomen.
Why you should take this class:
Bi-weekly classes that will hold you accountable to your writing goals
Quarterly 1:1 sessions with Ruthie to keep you on track and get you unstuck
A tight-knit community of peers who will provide feedback and support on your writing.
Prompts and readings that will inspire you to pour your heart out on the page
Guest lecturers who will demystify the writing and publishing process
The fine print:
This class is open to writers of creative nonfiction and memoir.
Writers accepted into this class will be ready to work consistently and be eager to learn.
Accepted writers must commit to the full six months.
Classes will meet on Zoom for 2 hours per session.
You will meet with the group biweekly, and privately with Ruthie quarterly. Specific dates provided upon registration.
The deadline to apply for this class is Friday, August 7th, 2024.
Once I receive your application, I’ll reach back out with registration info if your work seems like a good fit.
Cost: $5,500 if paid up front or $5,750 (or $958/mo.) if paying monthly.
