Have you struggled to Write?

Becoming an Author.

Still, you haven't given up.

Become The Kind of Writer You Love to Read.

With The Author’s Way, Membership, turn lived moments into scenes that breathe—with time, place, image, action, and reflection—so your storytelling pulls readers forward, and you have more fun writing more.

Hey, I understand. I struggled with writing for years.

I have a critic living in my head, especially after a professor held my writing up in front of the entire class and said, “What’s wrong with you? Why can’t you write?”

Some ‘old-school’ teachers believe “writers are born, not made.” Sure, some people have more natural talent. But I’m proof you don’t have to be born a writer. In my early classes, many of those I projected the label ‘born writers’ on — quit writing. If you get serious about writing, and do the work, there’s a 99.99999% chance you will be able to write like you’d been born with writing’s silver spoon in your mouth.

Whether or not you have talent, you don’t need to be “born a writer.
You only need to be willing to do the work — and allow your voice to grow stronger with every word, sentence, and page.”

Memoir = Two Lenses, One Transformation
Memoir isn’t just what happened; it’s also what you were thinking and believing as it happened. With the live classes in the membership, you'll discover how to:
* View past, present, and future events through a double lens (subjective + objective) to create meaning for yourself and others.
* Recover memories, details, senses, the truth.
* Discover what story you want to transform into a publishable memoir. *
*Compose scenes (time, place, image, action, reflection).
* See your perspectives shift, your choices expand.
* Make more informed and deliberate choices to portray the steps of your transformation story.

When you write and share your stories, show what you’ve learned.

Your story doesn’t just help you—it enlightens, entertains, and educates others.

Here’s what people are saying.

I will be forever grateful to Kelly for the classes which made my book possible. She helped me to discover how valuable it can be to wander, to get lost, to take yourself by surprise.

Tom Fields-Meyer

Journalist and Author of the Memoir , Following Ezra, What One Father Learned About Gumby``, ``Otters, Autism, and Love from His Extraordinary Son

Kelly’s writing workshops are different. They spark a creative mindset and challenge me to learn new storytelling skills. During class time, I create scenes to put into my memoir. We all feel so safe in class and when others are vulnerable and evocative, they inspire me to be real. My writing is more raw and the more honest it becomes, the more it impacts readers and audiences.

Pam Suchman

Journalist, Television Writer & Memorist

Brilliantly perceptive and compassionate, Kelly is helping me turn my experiences while writing the Route 66 books into a memoir. We also shaped them into a speech I gave at the Gene Autry Museum. The talk was a huge success. She turns writing into an adventure.

Russ Olsen

Author of the Route 66 Series of Lost & Found Books

Kelly creates a sacred space where it’s safe to be truthful. In her classes she sets up a framework that allows the group to be brave. Then I become brave. I now have more confidence in my writing.

Debra Smalley

Real Estate Executive

When I signed up for one of Kelly’s workshops, I was (in a word) “STUCK”. I hated my job. It took too much of my energy; and consistently left me feeling depleted and uninspired. In the workshop all I wanted to do was get my creative juices flowing. What happened as a result was a HUGE SHIFT in my life. I quit the job I hated. Then I tripled my income doing what I love and moved in with the man I love. I regained a belief in my power to CREATE anything I want. I cannot recommend Kelly enough. She is an amazing guide.

FAQs

1. Is this right for me if I’ve already taken other writing classes? Or in another writing class now?

Absolutely. Even if you are currently in another writing program or working with a writing coach in another program — in these live, online writing sessions, you show up and write.

Those who are also writing somewhere else, write their first drafts on a project during the live online sessions at The Author’s Way studio.

Of course, most of you will have taken workshops, read the books, and watched the YouTube videos already. What students tell us again and again is: “This is the first time I learned a skill and put it into practice … immediately. I finally understand how to do _____ and it’s improving my writing tremendously.”

2. I'm just getting started. Will I be able to keep up?

Absolutely.

The Guild is built to meet you where you are. We have members who’ve never finished a draft—and others with several manuscripts under their belt.

What they have in common is a desire to stop guessing and start writing with confidence.

Every lesson is broken down into manageable steps, and you’ll get the support and structure you need to stay on track.

3. How much time will this take each week?

About 2–4 hours per week, depending on how deep you go.

Each week includes:

A short lesson (usually 30–60 minutes)
A scene writing assignment (1–2 hours)
Optional small group sessions and community interaction

The Guild is structured to fit into a busy life—but deep enough to transform your writing if you commit.

6. Is there 1-on-1 feedback?

Not inside the The Author Way’s Membership..

But Kelly and other coaches offer scene-by-scene, personal coaching inside the One-to-Coaching Program. Many Author Way membership holders, especially in the Mapping Your Memoir program.

7. I only write fiction. Is this still a good fit for me?

The focus of the Author’s Way Studio Membership is focused on you discovering more about yourself, and learning how to write for others so they enjoy reading what you’ve written. If you show up to live sessions, you will definitely write more consistently. We hope you’ll also have more fun. Writing consistently is easier when you fall in love with words and stories.

With an Author’s Way Membership, build your confidence by learning new kinds of creative writing, storytelling and scene writing skills in the intimate, online Zoom Room sessions — 4 a week for ten weeks, three times a year.

The method that we use inside the workshops is improvisational writing. After you write, you have the option to read what you’ve written out loud, hear feedback from Kelly and others about “what’s “velcro?”.How or what in your writing impacts others in the group. All work done in class is considered a first draft, so we don’t give any line-by-line or narrative feedback. Instead we tell you what is velcro. In other words, what is sticking with us. We may also ask questions to help expand your vision for you wrote.

Then you will be able to write essays, Substack and other kinds of posts or the first drafts of your autobiography, memoir or fiction book (based on your true life experiences. and other kinds of memoir, aut-by-line writing as well as your overall understanding of narrative theory. This will improve your skills across all writing whether it’s fiction, nonfiction, marketing or even your daily emails.

The methodology in the Guild has been applied across all genres and, even though we use a scene from a masterwork of fiction as the study tool for the semester, you will be surprised how much it applies across everything you write.

8. I still have more questions. Who can I contact?
