12 week guided Cohort for writers
Banish Writer's Block and Finally Finish the Book Living Inside You
without sacrificing your real life or burning out
Your book lives inside you, but finishing it feels impossible.
You think about your story all the time.
In the car. Before bed. In the shower.
It’s always tapping on your shoulder.
But when you sit down to write? Your mind goes blank. Your chest tightens.
Your fingers hover over the keyboard—frozen.
So you close the laptop.
But not writing your book sits like a stone in your chest that gets heavier every day.
You feel it when someone asks when you scroll past another writer's book launch announcement.
Another year goes by, and you still haven’t written your book.
You've Tried Everything You can Think Of
Forcing a writing routine that collapses by week two.
Telling yourself "I'll write when life calms down"
Trying to write in leftover scraps of time
Paying for expensive writing retreats and conferences
Sitting on chapter 3 for months
What if in 12 weeks you could be:
Holding 50+ polished pages.
Clear on your story's direction
Consistent in your writing rhythm
Supported by a community of writers.
Confident in your voice and excited to keep going.
Well on your way to holding a finished manuscript in your hands, ready to pitch to agents.
So many writers stall because they think they need:
The perfect plot structure.
A magic writing routine.
More time. Or the elusive “right time.”
Running away to a cabin in the countryside.
What if you actually don't need any of those things to write your book?
I say this with all the love in my heart: Your excuses are not special.
But your story is.
here's the truth. You and your Story are already good enough.
Writing a book is too big, too emotional, and too complex to do alone. What you actually need is a system that accounts for the emotional, structural, and creative reality of what writing a book actually requires.

The Storyheart STUDIO
An intimate writing mentorship program designed to help you finish your book with consistency, clarity, and a story that finally comes alive.
Why Most Writing Programs Don't Work
They teach craft — but leave you alone to implement it.
They offer community — but no structure to keep you consistent.
They focus on plot — but ignore the emotional truth that makes stories have staying power.
The StoryHeart Studio is different.
It's not a self-paced course that collects dust.
It's not generic feedback from strangers who don't know your unique story.
It's not another writing book that makes you feel inspired for three days before writer’s block creeps back in.
This is a complete support ecosystem built for the real, messy, emotional journey of finishing a book.
The secret sauce?
The Storyheart Method
The only method that helps you finish your book with clarity, confidence, and a writing rhythm that actually fits your life.

1. MENTORSHIP
So You Finally Stop Second-Guessing Yourself
You don’t need another plot formula. You need someone who can actually see your story, guide your voice, and hold your creative vision with you — so you stop losing momentum.
With mentorship, you’ll:
✓ Know what’s working in your writing
Stop deleting good pages and actually build on your strengths.
✓ HAVE ACCOUNTABILITY THAT FEELS SUPPORTIVE, NOT STRESSFUL
Stay on track even when motivation dips.
✓ Get honest, strengthening feedback
Grow as a writer without feeling shut down or confused
Mentorship builds clarity, confidence, and momentum so you can finally write like a person who knows exactly where they’re going.
2. STRUCTURE
A Writing Rhythm That Works With Your Real Life
Consistency doesn’t come from 5 am morning routines or trying harder.
It comes from a rhythm that actually fits your schedule, energy, and responsibilities — so writing becomes doable, not draining.
With the right structure, you’ll:
✓ Build a writing rhythm that fits your actual life
Write and show up consistently without sacrificing your family, work, or sanity.
✓ Create a realistic plan for finishing your book
stop relying on “perfect days” to write and start relying on a system.
✓ Build creative momentum week after week
Keep writing even when life gets messy or doubt creeps in.
With a personal writing rhythm and structure, your writing has a container so you can come to the page every day feeling steady, not scattered.
3. STORY PULSE
Where Your Story Finally Comes Alive
This is where you use my signature Storyheart Method to give your book the emotional heartbeat it’s been missing — so your reader feels every page, not just reads it.
You don't need another plot formula. You need support from someone who can:
✓ Uncover the emotional truth driving your story
Write with clarity instead of guessing what your book is really “about.”
✓ Tie your character’s internal arc to the external plot
Create a story that feels cohesive, inevitable, and emotionally powerful.
✓ Write scenes with movement, tension, and depth
Stop worrying if your scenes are boring and start writing chapters your reader can’t put down.
✓ Balance structure with humanity
Keep your story polished without losing the heart that makes it uniquely yours.
When your story has PULSE, everything flows.
Your characters deepen.
Your scenes move.
Your writing finally feels like you.
here's the truth. You and your Story are already good enough.
Writing a book is too big, too emotional, and too complex to do alone. What you actually need is a system that accounts for the emotional, structural, and creative reality of what writing a book actually requires.
01. Live Coaching & writer Workshops

Meet your writing mentor
Hi! I'm Kimberly Lauren, your writing mentor.
I've spent nearly 20 years working inside the world of storytelling:
I grew up in a blended family of 15 kids — so I turned to writing to get a word in.
I graduated from Lesley University with an MFA in Fiction and run Talk Wordy to Me, an online community of 16,000 book lovers.
I understand the emotional, personal, and structural challenges of writing a book because I've lived them and helped hundreds of writers move through them.
You are not too behind, too late, or too inexperienced.
You simply need the right support.
And I'm here to give it to you.

learn to overcome resistance
Resistance isn't a sign that you're doing it wrong, but that you have a story worth telling. I'll teach you my heard-earned tips for pushing through blocks and coming out on the other side with a strong story.
Claim your title as writer
Self-doubt will evaporate as you continue to show up for yourself and prioritize your writing. This spark we’ll ignite inside you will grow stronger and push the limits of your creativity.
finally finish your story
You don't write because it's easy, you write because you have a story inside that needs to come out. You write because you need to prove to yourself that you can do something hard, can finish what you start. Because you want to be one of the 3% of people who don't just talk about finishing their book, they do it.
We start in september! get in before the doors close.
faqs
"What if I don't have much written yet?"
Perfect. You'll build momentum from exactly where you are. This isn't about being "ready enough." It's about finally getting the support to move forward.
"What if I can't keep up?"
This cohort isn't about perfection. It's about progress. We work with your pace, your life, and your creative rhythm. You won't be left behind.
"What if my writing isn't good enough?"
You're not here because you're a bad writer. You're here because you're trying to write a book alone, which is nearly impossible. That's what we fix. Your story deserves to be told, and we'll help you tell it.
"What genre do you work with?"
Fiction writers of all genres are welcome: literary, fantasy, romance, mystery, YA, non-fiction, memoir, and everything in between. The StoryHeart Method works across genres because it focuses on emotional truth and character depth.
“Can I finish my whole book in this cohort?”
This cohort is paced to help you perfect the opening 30 pages of your manuscript with feedback from your writing peers as well as 1:1 editorial help from me. However, you are more than welcome to move beyond that and write your heart out.
"What would I need to bring to the session?"
We will work together on a personal writing rhythm for you that will help you reach your goals.
That feeling of BEING called to write your book—that’s called intuition.
stop saying “someday” and follow it.
"I learned so much! Story structure, hitting the beats, making your objective in your novel clear right away, editing strategies, crafting a synopsis, query, and hooks. Resources for finding agents and for feedback.
Learning from guests in the industry was such a fun opportunity.
Taking away with me a community that I hopefully will keep in touch with and can continue to get feedback from is invaluable. There’s no way anyone can meet their utmost potential without people giving feedback and cheering you on. Kim, your endless knowledge and constant support have been instrumental in my writing journey."

"The biggest thing for me was connecting with these amazing women whom I never would have met otherwise. Because of this, I truly feel that my story matters. That I matter. The feedback, support, and investment from you and from the group, and the sense that these women genuinely have my back...it has made a huge difference in how I show up for my writing. It reminds me that writing doesn't happen in isolation, as most people think. It truly takes a village.
Craft wise, I grew so much! I gained a clearer understanding of story structure and how to track my characters' emotional arcs, so I can really get to the heart of my story. I loved hearing from others in the industry and will take away practical tools for an intentional writing schedule, editing, querying, and finding an agent. Really, this was the momentum I needed to keep going and get my book out in the world, and I can't wait for what's next!"
