The Way of the Fearless Writer is a radical approach to writing inspired by centuries-old ideas about life from Japan and China. It goes against the grain of everything we are taught about how to write in school and the conditioning we get from modern society, but it absolutely works.

It will teach you how to dissolve self-doubt, shift writer’s block and share your voice with the world.

I didn’t even realise I had walked this particular path until I turned around and looked to see how I had gone from self-doubting secretive writer to grateful author of five books in five years. It was all there, hidden in plain sight, as it has been for two thousand years… until now.

I invite you to join me on a sacred journey across continents and centuries, and deep into your own experience.

The Way of the Fearless Writer will free your inner writer + transform your writing life. And it is out now!
