Who is the Workshop for?
The Writing With the Soul Workshop is designed for fiction writers of all experience levels who want to dig deeper to find their own unique magic. In this workshop, we examine the internal landscape of the storyteller, not their professional experience. Whether you’re in the middle of writing your first young adult romcom or you’re putting the finishing touches on your tenth adult mystery novel, there’s space for you here. You can choose to take the workshop in real time with Adrienne & your fellow writers or take the workshop at your own pace.
Workshop alumni have gone on to finish their manuscripts, sign with agents & even sell their debut novels.
What's included?
A beautifully designed printable workbook PDF with over 65 pages of teaching, exercises & guided reflections.
Membership to the workshop’s private Instagram, where weekly instructional content from Adrienne is posted.
4 writing talk videos from Adrienne as she takes a deep dive into the week’s theme through her own experiences, lessons learned, & personal insights.
Facilitated group discussion twice a week in the workshop’s private online community.
Access to 4 private Instagram Live Q&A’s where Adrienne will be answering your questions.

Writing With the Soul is not a one size fits all for every writer out there. The workshop has a very focused purpose: to change the way you look at your writing & help you tap into your unique, powerful connection to your craft.
Before you enroll, ask yourself…
Am I comfortable using structured online platforms, or am I willing to familiarize myself with these platforms?
Am I ready to put myself & my writing out there?
If I’m specifically looking for connection with other writers, am I willing to interact & initiate those connections?
Am I able to think outside the box & approach my writing with an open mind?
