Writing With the Soul was founded in 2021 by author Adrienne Young as a month-long writers workshop that focuses on the cultivation of the connection between the story and the storyteller.
Over the last two years, the community of workshop alumni has grown into a passionate, vibrant society of writers that spans the entire globe. Many of them have gone on to sign with literary agents, sell their books to publishers, and launch careers as indie authors. In that time, Writing With the Soul has evolved beyond a single workshop into multi-faceted initiatives that include writing retreats, mentorship programs, research trips, virtual events, online communities, and an enrichment space called The Writers Conservatory.
Our purpose is to provide opportunities that enable writers to discover, claim, and step into their magic so they can write the stories they were meant to write.

Adrienne Young, Founder
Adrienne is the New York Times and internationally bestselling author of young adult fantasy and adult fiction stories that celebrate the imperfection of humanity. She launched the Writing With the Soul workshop in 2021 as a way to connect with other writers during the pandemic, only to find that there were a lot more storytellers in the world like her than she realized. She lives in the mountains of North Carolina with her partner and children, where she spends her time writing, hiking, and dreaming.
