Course Description:

Have you always wanted to write but can't get past page 1? Writing flourishes in an atmosphere of freedom and confidence.  Yet most of us were never taught how to write, or worse, we were taught myths about writing that kept us from enjoying it. And many people are  so critical of their writing that every word is painful.

 

If you’re new to writing, or want to enjoy your writing, quiet your inner critic,  and replace anxiety with confidence, this course is for you. You'll learn techniques to overcome writers block, enhance your creativity, and finally write your book

 

Cindy Barrilleaux has worked with writers as a writing coach and editor for 25 years. She was the managing editor of the Psychotherapy Networker magazine, and has edited books, articles and dissertations. She founded Write Your Best in 2001. Cindy coaches writers individually and in groups, and conducts the "Get Started Writing" teleseminar, and Weekend Writing Retreats. 

 

Her newest ebook , "Becoming A Writer" is now available to the public.  This new 40 page ebook is the basis for this teleseminar. Purchasing the book alone gives new writers the nuts and bolts of getting started, protects them from their own inner critic, and cuts through writing myths that can stop them in their tracks.

 

The teleseminar is based on this new book, and offers the benefit not only of group discussion and individual attention, but also writing exercsies that previous participants call the highlight of the seminar.

" I've been working with Cindy for a year, and have accomplished so much more in that time than I ever could have managed on my own. Not only have I written and published several articles, but she has helped me to turn half-conscious ideas into a clearly articulated conceptual framework that is generating a lot of interest in my field and leading to offers to write and present. She is a joy to work with--professional, creative, supportive and funny.  The time and money I have invested in my work with Cindy have yielded enormous returns for me personally and for my business.

People who have worked with Cindy say:

" Thanks, Cindy, for your incredible support, for believing in me, and for knowing way before I did that I can write.  I'm grateful to you for showing me how to write and how to love writing.
                                    Betsy Bergquist, New Jersey

" I hired Cindy to help me write an article on my specialty in public speaking coaching. I wasn't sure how to craft it, and Cindy helped get the subject matter organized, kept me working, and gave me excellent suggestions. She taught me some principles of good writing that I still use. I have recommended her to colleagues, friends and clients. She is great to work with, knowing how to give constructive criticism and appreciate her clients' strengths.
                                    Nancy Cetlin, Ed.D.

" Since our first session, Cindy has facilitated a process that stretched and strengthened my writing skills. Her personalized coaching style helped me focus more on what I could do and not what I feared I could not accomplish. With her honest enthusiasm and proficient coaching my writing has become more clear, creative and organized.
                                    Maria Fleshood, Therapist
