THE WRITER’S REBELLION
Live Group Experience
I see you, writer friend. You’re tired.
The writing world can feel like a maze designed to exhaust and defeat you..
One minute you’re told to just focus on craft.
The next minute you’re told to build a platform.
Then someone whispers that the industry is impossible, saturated, gatekept, broken.
But here’s what I believe with my whole f*cking chest:
In a world that tries to diminish artists, we don’t shrink.
We rebel.
No wonder so many brilliant writers feel overwhelmed, scattered, and quietly disheartened.
Because modern authors are not just dreamy creatives waiting to be discovered.
We are artists and entrepreneurs. Visionaries and decision-makers.
And when we understand the full landscape with our eyes wide open, everything changes.
That’s why I created The Writer’s Rebellion
an 8-week live group experience designed to help you reclaim your agency, sharpen your strategy, and move like the powerful creative force you actually are.
No gatekeeping. No smoke and mirrors. No starving artist mentality (we have money to make).
So pull up a chair.
Get your tea ready (because yes, we will be spilling some).
And sharpen your pencils.
We have work to do.
I come to this space having signed six book contracts with major publishers and having sold thousands of books independently on a shoestring budget before getting a single deal.
Now that the book of my heart has gone out of print, I will be returning to the indie world and you get to ride shotgun and see the behind-the-scenes of that process. I’ve also hosted international writing retreats, spoken on stages around the world about books, art, and mental health.
I come to you armed with a fierce and devoted passion to support authors write and live stories they f*cking love. I am in the trenches with you. Revising these books and this life with a ruthless red pen. Because
(in case someone hasn’t told you recently)
we deserve that level of devotion.
Praise for working with rocky
“Rocky gently kicks you into gear and gets your head out of the clouds and your hands on the keyboard.”
– Sarah Fox, Writer and Editor of TheBookishFox.com
"Rocky's review of my work was thorough and thoughtful. I got the sense that she truly cared about my journey as a writer and helped me feel more confident about diving into the query process."

"I am thankful for (Rocky's) support and insight she provided from conception until the birth of my message to the world to inspire many lives."

during our time
We start where most programs don’t: your nervous system, your stamina, your identity as a writer. Because burnout, comparison spirals, and creative freeze are real and fixable. You’ll learn how to regulate, focus, and build the kind of internal steadiness that supports long-term creative work.
we'll dig into...
Writer Wellness & Mindset
We’re not here for vague advice. We’re talking emotional impact, market awareness, and the storytelling choices that make readers stay up too late and industry professionals pay attention. This is your fat ass permission slip to experiment, discover, and play as you hone your voice and sharpen your skills.
Craft That Actually Stands Out
No pressure. Just clarity. You’ll understand the real pros, cons, timelines, and power dynamics of each path so you can make smart, sovereign decisions about your work. I’ll also share my experiences in real time as I prep for my next launch.
Traditional vs. Self Publishing
Visibility does not have to feel like desperation. You’ll learn positioning, audience-building, and long-game publicity strategies that respect both your energy and your ambition. We will also discuss ads, email marketing, social media, and how to think out of the box with your work.
Marketing & Publicity
Because yes, we are talking about money. Advances, royalties, speaking, rights, courses, IP expansion, and the many ways modern authors build real income streams beyond a single book deal.
Money as an Author
Writing rebels will also get to hear from two awesome
A Film Executive Producer on book-to-film pathways
A Professional Book Publicist on what actually gets attention
Guest
Speakers
You’ll feel clear.
You’ll feel equipped.
You’ll feel dangerous in the best way.
Because here’s the truth, my dear rebels:
We can audaciously knock on doors.
But If they don’t open, we build our own.
By the end of these eight weeks, you won’t just feel inspired.
