FIRST 30 PAGES
FOR WRITERS READY TO WRITE from the depths AND PUBLISH.
What does it mean to
WRITE FROM BODY AND SOUL?
There is a lot of "writing" out there on social media, in emails, texts and captions that we read all the time, and write a lot of the time. Some of it is even AI generated. And some authors you love don't write their own books or content! It's a wild world out there.
As a writer, how do you stay DEEP, RICH, and SENSUAL in your writing?
TO write long form content for a book or online essay series instead of fast paced "writing" for texts and socials?
To write to PUBLISH something that you can print out, bind in a book, or publish as a series of deep work with a beginning, middle, and end?
To do this we must SLOW DOWN, we must expand and extend our attention to hold BREADTH and DEPTH.
We must find courage to MINE deeply into our beings for what needs to be said, to get good editing and feedback, to revise and revise again, and then, to publish.

MONTH ONE:
X dates.
You will bring pages to workshop at our first gathering and workshop in the first or second session. You will then revise and post in our group for feedback on the revisions.
Each month will follow this format:
Session 1: Writers 1-5 bring their pages and read for 10-15 min. Then receive 10-15 minutes of feedback & notes.
Session 2: Writers 2-10 bring their pages and read for 10-15 min. Then receive 10-15 minutes of feedback & notes.
Session 3: All 10 writers will read revised pages and get feedback on select pages.
MONTH TWO:
X dates.
You will write more pages and the same process will occur.
MONTH THREE:
X dates.
You will write more OR revise it all and have it ready to go into a book proposal, manuscript, or ready to publish online on Substack or Medium or somewhere you wish submit writing to.
By the end of Month 3 you will have a complete sample chapter for a book proposal, an introduction to a book, 15-30 pages of a manuscript to get your started strong, or a series of essays ready to publish online.
Important Information:
- Sessions are approximately 2.5 hours and you’re expected to be on camera and attend live. You will learn how to be a better writer by giving feedback clearly articulated.
- If you have to turn off camera while someone else is reading, that’s not a problem, just turn it back on later.
- Snacks and stretching are allowed. :)
Come with a book idea, a few pages, a chapter, or an idea for a series of essays.
The focus is on the quality and depth of writing, completion, and being ready to publish the work online, self publish, or submit to an agent.
GENRES:
Spirituality, self-help, wellness, mysticism, healing, embodiment, memoir, creative non-fiction.
This is not for poetry, though longer form writing can include some poetry.
You will be expected to arrive into the program with 5-8 pages to workshop and be expected to write 5-10 pages a month.
This can include a sample chapter, introduction to your book to be included in a proposal, first 30 pages of a manuscript, or series of essays for online publishing of roughly 30 pages.
This is not for social media caption writing. We will be writing for longer form.
You will be asked to attend live and give feedback to writers on their work in our 3 hour weekly workshop. This will make YOU a better writer.
Between sessions you will put in 2ish hours of reading women's writing + giving feedback. Please do not apply if you cannot do that.
Every session will include a practice or meditation lead by Alexandra to open the channel, and some recorded practices to use before writing at home.
You will be getting loving yet clear feedback from Alexandra and the whole group and you will be supported as you look head on into your writing.
* Note: We will not be discussing how to get an agent, publisher, or self publish within the workshop. Or how to build an audience or platform. We will be focusing on the creative. However, there is an option to add on a workshop with Author, Editor, and self publishing expert Ruby Warrington at the end of the workshop.
WHO IS THIS FOR:
Writers who are ready to write.
Writers who feel confident (enough) in reading your work aloud to a group.
Writers who have never published but been writing on their own for years.
Writers who practice writing in marketing emails and socials but haven’t harnessed their energy into longer form work.
Writers who can clearly articulate feedback to others.
You do not have to be a public person.
You do not have to have published work in the world.
Another thing I wanna add:
Your core feedback will come from Alexandra with feedback from others writers in the group which you may or may not apply to your revisions. Alexandra will guide you to discern relevant feedback.

HI LOVE,
If you are called to write your heart at this time on this planet, then why are you not doing it? Where are you withholding? Where are you so focused on outcomes you are missing the FUN of the process?
If you long to publish and share you work- what holds you back?
I am here to support you, how you accountable, and get you writing, sharing, editing, and publishing your work. I will call you out with love as I see you stray from the truth of who you are and why you came. I will give you feedback, about what you are amazing at and where you are hiding.
I will support your writing to get fat and juicy with LIFE and ALIVENESS.
I am here to hold your hand as you have the audacity to write, uncurated, unmasked, revealed as you sacred work.
For twenty years, my spiritual sacred feminine practice has been sharing, expressing, creating, leading and writing publicly. I have gotten praise, awards, death threats, rejection letters, and so much more - yet I am still here, not hardened, with my heart in the game.
I STILL ADORE WRITING.
I have supported many women to put their writing into the world, to mine their souls for wisdom- bestselling authors, screenwriters, poets, novelists. I have worked behind the scenes with some badass women on their work.
If you are a writer longing to PUBLISH long form work then let's do it!
Let's be audacious in these times.
With Great Love,
Alexandra

She works with women 1:1 in her transformational coaching and mentorship practice, supporting women around the world to open their hearts, drop into their sensual body, develop a spiritual practice, and live a life of their soul’s calling.
I didn’t actually know exactly what I was looking for when I first reached out to Alexandra to work with her, I just felt drawn to who I imagined her to be, and trusted that there was something we could learn in community together. Then, one session in, she helped me to clearly articulate that I was on a “softness” journey, and that became the container for our next year and a half together. I am not the same. My whole life has changed. This is neither a metaphor, nor hyperbole. Doing this beautiful love work with Alexandra is 1000% a credit to the way that my life has shifted. From my relationships, to my career, to my finances, to my perspective – everything has changed and I am so deeply grateful for this unfolding of what I know about myself and who I get to be. I intend to be in deep devotion to love, for the rest of my life, because my time with Alexandra showed me the magic and the science of ritual, embodiment, and the pursuit of God. She is a wonder & my soul knows her well.
— EBONYJANICE, CLIENT FROM AUG 2020 TO JAN 2022
There is a dearth of spaces in this world where the deep feminine soul is honored and nurtured, and Alexandra has created that in her work. I feel so blessed and honored to have worked with Alexandra in a 1:1 container. Her strikingly intuitive and compassionate witnessing pulled depths from me that I didn’t know were there, and a deepening has taken place that I will treasure and carry with me for life. I consider my work with Alexandra to be one of those important and life-changing pivot points, and one that gently guided me in the direction of continually honoring my soul’s liberation and expression. I trust now that, by the end of my life, I will have made and done things to which my soul would give a holy hell yes. She is truly a gifted healer and she brought unconditional presence and heart to every session, which I could feel. My soul feels watered and seen.
