THE DETAILS
Want to write a book this year? Cool.
I’m offering an 8-week, hardcore yet dreamy, Book Sherpa Accelerator Program during the last quarter of 2025 to help catapult your project from the realm of chaos into cosmos i.e. a well-ordered whole. :) The accelerator is meant to help those at any stage in the creative process, in any genre or medium. Bring a polished or unwieldy draft, an idea or almost-idea, anything. By the end of the 8 weeks, you’ll have a clear sense of the nature of your project: what it wants to be, its possible forms, and how you can best shepherd it along into the future. You’ll also acquire esoteric and practical tools for self-study and insight into your own cosmic creative practice. This is the second year I’m offering this, and it’s a thing I’m really excited about. The first round was a blast, and a variety of projects (everything from visual art to novels to poetry and beyond) took shape.
This Accelerator is for you if:
You want to write a book or complete a body of work but have no idea where to start
You have 101 ideas but aren’t sure if any are ‘viable’
You are perpetually haunted by a concept, but haven’t had the vessel to explore, exercise, and exorcize your creative poltergeist
You have been working on a book (or something that might be a book) but feel stuck
You have plenty of words on the page or sketches or notes but something’s not quite adding up
You feel confident in your ideas but want to craft the strongest concept you can before you begin searching for an agent or publisher
You want to join a small and cool cohort of writers and get some respite from the sometimes lonely process of working on a book
You want to learn more about esoteric and occult creative practices and how the planets can help
You are curious about what information your own astrological chart has re: how and what to write
What you get with The Accelerator:
Once a week hour-long 1-1 sessions with me where we discuss the shape your project is taking, your goals, etc. These can take many different forms, and can be as micro or macro as necessary, depending on the kind of support you want and how your book is incubating-–i.e. anything from chapter outlines and big ideas to nitty gritty editorial questions.
A deep dive into your astrology chart (in our first 1-1 session together, we look at your astrology and find clues in your chart about your process, topics, and practice).
Once a week hour-long cohort group meetings (Saturdays at 3pm ET) for accountability, community, and inspiration. We’ll discuss our work, learn from each other, and hang out. I’ll frame these sessions around the astrological planets, occult creative practices based on alchemy, and words or works from poets, writers, and artists.
A corresponding digital workbook which you’ll receive in late August, to help you shape your book project, handcrafted by me based on years of experience editing and helping authors hone their visions (plus my experience with my own books). A psychedelic and rigorous combination of exercises based on the alchemical process and planets. It will help you get to know your methods, inspirations, and goals both practically and esoterically. You can use this workbook over and over again, for any number of projects, book-related or not.
Unlimited email exchanges with me re: how it’s going. Think of me as a resource and support system for these 8 weeks. I’m happy to answer any questions, offer feedback, big picture editorial support, or astrological insight.
A group discord server for sharing inspiration, process notes, questions, concerns, triumphs, gossip.
About Me
I’m a writer working across disciplines. I’ve published four books of poetry and novel. Additionally, I have written about visual art, cinema, and culture for a number of journals and magazines. I went to school for writing and visual art, and have 10+ years of experience as an editor and teacher, helping “sherpa” a variety of different projects into the world, from poetry books to novels to non-fiction to paintings. In my private astrology practice, I work with many artists and writers. The birth chart has a wealth of cosmic intel about our individual creative blueprints. I’ve also been teaching classes on writing, the occult, and psychology/philosophy for many years. I love to combine the cosmic and the everyday and helping others see more clearly the books they may already have brewing.
