The Inspired Writer Community helps you tailor a plan to your needs so you can make your ideal writing life happen.

IMAGINE LIVING YOUR IDEAL WRITING LIFE

YOU’RE FINDING TIME TO WRITE AND LOVING YOUR WRITING PROJECTS.

 

YOU’RE PUBLISHING AND BEING PAID FOR YOUR WORDS.
YOU’RE SURROUNDED BY PEOPLE WHO CHEER YOU ON AS REACH YOUR GOALS.

For years I struggled to create a fulfilling writing life that also pays my bills. I did my best to juggle family, home, work, and tried to write but never seemed to accomplish anything significant. I doubted myself and worried no one wanted to read my writing or if I even had anything of value to say. I was frustrated with my writing career — or lack thereof — because I had absolutely no idea where I was going.

THEN ONE DAY I REALIZED SOMETHING THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING

I wasn’t getting anywhere, because I didn’t know what I wanted from my writing. A book? Yes. To publish in magazines? Sure. But there wasn’t anything tying my ideas together. And without something to unify your ideas, without a clear vision of what you want for your writing life, how can you hope to reach it?

THAT’S WHY I CREATED

THE INSPIRED WRITER COMMUNITY

The Inspired Writer Community begins by helping you define your ideal writing life, then map out a plan to make it happen. This method is unique because it treats writing as a business and incorporates scientifically proven methods of developing better habits to keep you focused and on track.

I couldn’t believe how well it worked for me. Within a month of creating my first plan, I began taking one-on-one clients and published five new articles. Now, I write books, travel, and spend my time mentoring writers as they feel more confident, finish their masterpieces, and become the writers they’ve always dreamed of being.

The Inspired Writer Community is for you if....

  • You know you want to write, but you need more focus and clarity.
  • You're willing to make decisions and take action.
  • You're looking for a community to support you and give feedback.
  • You're willing to give feedback to others and offer support.
  • You're ready to try new things and push your boundaries.

 

The Inspired Writer Community is NOT for you if...

  • You prefer to work alone.
  • You don't want to take risks and push your boundaries.
  • You're not interested in working with others.
  • You're not interested in giving feedback.
  • You're happy with what you're doing now and don't want to make changes.

HEAR HOW OTHERS HAVE CHANGED
THEIR WRITING LIVES IN THE INSPIRED WRITER COMMUNITY

I’ve watched countless writers write books, publish articles and find agents and publishers as they make a living writing. Best of all, they’re living their ideal writing lives based on their core values. All because they had a clear plan and focus to make it happen.

 

"Leigh is my greatest cheerleader. She’s helped reignite my long-fizzled passion for writing a novel; now Leigh has already helped me find my way to a great story. The questions she asks about plot, characters and even the smallest scenic details encourage me to focus on the world I’m creating, clarify my intentions, and push myself as a writer. Having her in my editorial corner boosts my confidence and keeps me moving forward."

MELANIE WYNNE

 

"TW has given me the focus and guidance I needed to set achievable goals for my writing. It can be a very lonely career/side hustle/hobby, but Leigh’s leadership and the feedback provided by the group’s members have been an invaluable source of camaraderie and support for untangling both practical quandaries (“how do I pitch a travel story?”) and philosophical ones (“how do I figure out what my novel is really about?”)."

MEG MASSEY

 

"As a new writer, I have been very impressed by the writing community Leigh Shulman has created in The Workshop. Leigh is a helpful and supportive writing coach and facilitator for the community and makes everyone feel welcome and encouraged no matter where they are at in their writing journey. Even though writing is often an isolated activity, I never feel alone because I know a community is waiting to support me and my work. I highly recommend connecting with Leigh and becoming a part of this fantastic group!"
