Online Course

Finding Your Inner Writer

Writing is not a talent. It is a practice. And the greatest obstacle between you and the page is not ability — it is the voice in your head that tells you to wait until it’s perfect, wait until you’re ready, wait until someone gives you permission.

Finding Your Inner Writer is a ten-week online course designed to silence that voice and help you find yours. Drawing on Michele’s decades of experience as a working writer, playwright, television creator, and Columbia University professor, this course gives you the tools, the community, and the accountability to finally do the work.

You will write. Every week. In community. With guidance from someone who has done it — and kept doing it — through every obstacle life throws in the way.

  1. Michele walks and talks the life of a talented writer and teacher. I work in film music snd studied screen writing at Northwestern, but my time learning with her brought extra meaning to creating your writing for yourself and the world as well. — Lisa S.

  2. Michele is one of those teachers and mentors you long to find – generous, knowledgeable, witty, kind. She lifts up what’s best in you, helping to clarify and deepen your own voice, instead of imposing her own. I look forward to continuing to work with her, growing authentically under her care. — Jilann S.

  3. Although I haven’t studied under her, as a friend and collaborator (I wrote the songs for her feature film “Unreel”), I have had the pleasure of acquainting myself with her work and getting to know her as a person. I can’t recommend her more highly. Her rating is nonpareil, as is her personality and method of communication. — Corey L.

  4. Michele’s creative writing workshop was one of those rare experiences where you leave not only a better writer, but richer for the people you met along the way. Thank you, Michele, for so generously sharing your craft with us. It was an absolute joy.– – Angi C.

  5. “I started out thinking Michele’s class might help me become a slightly more effective writer, never expecting I would end up tapping into a part of myself that has apparently been dormant for years. My ‘inner writer’ not only came alive, but my true self was expressed through my weekly writing assignments in surprising and enlightening ways. It’s rare for me to have an experience that changes my life, but this writing class changed mine.”– – Debbie J
