Become a Master Writer
A course for writers ready to reclaim their craft, rediscover their voice, and reshape their writing lives.
Finally: A writing course that doesn’t treat “viral” like a life goal.
"BAMW is the apprenticeship I never knew I needed." —Shadrock Wanjohi, Writer
Mastery Isn’t About Being The Best.
What if writing stopped feeling like a performance, and started feeling like something you love again?
It’s about becoming better: more precise, more curious, more in tune with your own style and stories.
It isn’t something you stumble upon. It’s something you build, refine, and commit to. It’s about developing the kind of writing life that supports you in the long term, not just as a writer, but as a whole human.
Become a Master Writer is a 10-week course for writers tired of writing what sells, trends, or ‘performs.’
It's for those ready to move beyond formulas and surface tips. For those who want to dive into the deeper, messier, more meaningful work of mastery.
It’s about remembering why you started writing in the first place.
You won't just sharpen your skills. You'll rebuild your foundations. Discovering, through daily practice and deep reflection, the writer you are meant to be.
This is an invitation back to yourself.
What Makes This Course Different?
This isn’t a writing productivity course. You won’t learn how to build a content calendar or write viral headlines.
This is for writers ready to study craft like an artisan: slow, stubborn, and alive.
Think about the great writers you admire.
None of them got there by accident. They practiced and honed their skills with relentless care.
Writing is an art, yes. But it’s also a craft. A craft that can be strengthened and refined.
This course helps you slow down, look closer, and write in a way that reflects who you are.
Not just what sells.
What's In It For You?
✍️ Copywork as Apprenticeship
Every weekday, you'll copy carefully chosen excerpts by hand. This helps you absorb the techniques of brilliant writers. It isn't busywork. It's a way to train your attention. And yes, you might feel like a medieval scribe (minus the candlelight and plague).
🔍 Reflective Writing as Self-Discovery
Weekly prompts explore your core relationship with writing. These go beyond skill. They're deep dives into why you write. You’ll track how your voice evolves when you’re not performing for clicks. Expect uncomfortable truths and glorious “aha” moments in equal measure.
A Clearer Writing Identity
This course won't give you a brand voice template. You'll uncover what makes your writing uniquely yours. Leave with confidence to write what matters most. The world needs your voice, not another content clone. Consider this your creative permission slip.
⏳ An Intensive, Sustainable Practice
Commit to 30–60 minutes of focused work daily. That’s less time than you’ll spend doomscrolling today. It's a commitment, but mastery requires engagement. You’ll build creative stamina through deliberate, intentional practice.
🧠 Deep Foundations in Writing Craft
We’ll work through the core elements that make writing great. No dry theory here, just practical analysis of what makes words work. You’ll develop an editor’s eye for your own writing. Warning: You’ll never read the same way again. The best writers are ruthless readers.
The Writing Life You're Meant to Have
"This program expanded my sense of what writing could be. It made me a better reader, which in turn made me a continuously better writer." — Bob Gower, Consultant & Author
"My business writing is now more impactful and beautiful—without sounding out of place in corporate settings." — Judit Petho, Business Writer
"I forgot I was allowed to write for pleasure—not just for business or income." —Rachel Mazza, Entrepreneur & Writer
Why Slow Writing Still Matters
It’s easy to forget what good writing is for.
Not everything we create has to be packaged and polished for immediate return. Some ideas are worth lingering over. Some writing deserves more than a sprint.
Before: You write to fill a content calendar.
After: You write to discover what you didn’t know you could say.
This course is built on that belief: slowing down is not a weakness, it’s a choice.
Copywork forces you to pay attention. Not just to the words, but to rhythm, architecture, and nuance. Weekly essays aren’t performative prompts. They’re a space to reflect.
Even the way we read in this course, carefully, across genres and voices, it is an invitation to step outside the echo chamber and encounter something unexpected.
This isn’t about resisting change or productivity. It’s about choosing to write with intention. To think deeply. To sometimes let the work evolve.
Slow writing still matters, because what we write matters. And how we say it shapes everything.
“Fun” fact: Great writers steal. Bad writers copy-paste. We’ll teach you the difference.
Slow Writing, Lasting Impact
"I’m building a daily practice, even if it’s not my own words. Yet." —Lanna Lee Maheux, Podcaster & Speaker
"I’ve become more thoughtful about the intent behind my work—understanding my audience and the relationship I want with readers. I hadn’t considered these things so deeply before." — Doniree Walker, Writer
This isn’t about rushing your writing. It’s about reclaiming it.

Deadlines...aka the ultimate muse for writers who’d otherwise reorganize their sock drawer “for inspiration.”
What’s In The Course?
Each module builds on a foundational element of craft and creativity, moving you closer to the writer you want to become.
Who This Is For
This course is not for: Anyone who thinks ‘mastery’ happens in 30 days.
If “finding your voice” currently means “mimicking that one viral Substack writer,” we’ve got work to do.
If you’ve taken writing classes before, but still feel like something’s missing...
if you’re stuck in content loops, but know there’s something more...
if you want a slower, more sustainable, more honest relationship with your writing...
This is that space.
Where Burnt-Out Writers Become Inspired Again
"I realized just how much I love writing! The copywork pieces taught me as much as the lessons." —Stacey Coleman, Entrepreneur
"BAMW replaced my dread of the blank page with enthusiasm. It rekindled my love for writing." — Hayley Michaels, Writer
"I’m excited to push myself and finally discover what kind of writing is in my wheelhouse." —Jewel Aldea, Writer
What You’ll Leave With
And maybe most importantly:
A new relationship with slower, more intentional creation.
Not to fix your writing or yourself, but to explore what it could become.
All that for $750? That’s less than months of therapy after another round of intensive edits.

Frequently Asked (and Occasionally Snarky) Questions
This isn’t school. No shame, no grades. Use weekends, quiet moments, or the occasional deep-dive session to catch up. Progress, not perfection, matters.
Absolutely not. Great writers study great writing. You’ll absorb techniques, not personalities. Your voice is like a fingerprint; it evolves, but never disappears.
Studies show handwriting engages more brainpower than typing. It forces you to slow down and absorb. That said, if you must type, do it. But try pen-to-paper first.
You could, but you’d miss the full transformation. Think of it like a recipe: Skip the salt, and the dish suffers. Even if it’s not your usual style, you’ll learn something powerful from every excerpt.
Essayists, marketers, solopreneurs, content creators, and more. The common thread? They’re done writing for algorithms and ready to write for humans (starting with themselves).
All book excerpts comply with Fair Use (short, transformative portions). Essays are either public domain or used with permission. If you’re a creator and want something removed, please let me know. We’ll respect your request immediately
Most writing courses charge thousands for less depth. I priced this to be accessible, but not cheap. Call it my own little rebellion against the “paywall-to-mastery” industrial complex.
Due to quickly dripped digital access to materials and practices, refunds aren’t offered. Please read through the full description before enrolling. But if you engage fully, you’ll understand why students rarely ask.
Before I go...
For years, people have asked me:
- “How do you write like that?”
- “Is your brain just… like this?”
- “How did you become such a sought-after editor?”
- “Did you sell your soul to the grammar gods?” (Answer: Maybe. The contract’s fuzzy.)
This course is a big part of that answer.
I’ve spent over 5,000 hours building it, not counting the 1,000+ books and essays I’ve read and re-read to choose the right excerpts and exercises. Every excerpt, prompt, and lesson is intentional.
Because mastery isn’t about shortcuts. It’s about showing up, even when the words fight back.
Consider this my love letter to writing: to the process, the curiosity, and the stupidly satisfying hunt for the exact right word.
You’re not just learning to write better. You’re being invited into a slower, deeper affair with your craft.
