“Since taking your class on Monday, I’ve created a sort of idea map about the memoir I’d like to write, as well as some writing about a traumatic life event which I haven’t previously been able to write about coherently.”

This is your year-long companion for sustainable writing practice. The Gentle Persistence collection already includes comprehensive modules (Writing Through Brain Fog, The Cell Method) on building adaptive routines, but for Black Friday only, you'll receive access to a new 90-minute class called...
The Unfinished Projects Audit. You've learned to write despite brain fog. You know how to break your work into cells. But which of your seven (or three, or ninety-four) unfinished manuscripts deserves that precious, limited energy? This audit helps you choose—without guilt, without abandoning your other dreams, and with confidence that you're working on the RIGHT project right now.
PLUS BONUS access (6 months) to a private community forum where you can get feedback and support as you implement these frameworks. This collection transforms how you approach your entire writing life—not just individual projects.

“In Esmé and the Academy I found the teachings, support and community which for years I had longed, but didn’t know how to access. In Esmé’s care and support I feel like a writer not only when I am able to be present and actively writing, but also when I must honor my body and tend to my health.”
