WRITING IN COMMUNITY
CHANGES EVERYTHING!
The Sit Write Here Mindful Writing Community
is designed to provide daily support on your writing journey.
SIT: Every co-writing session starts with 15 minutes of insight meditation to help you let go of distractions and find focus.
WRITE: Then we write for one hour. When you carve out one focused hour,on a regular basis, you make steady progress toward finishing your work.
HERE: After we write, we talk for a few minutes about how it's going. We also have weekly Q&A sessions and we meet up in person whenever we can at writing conferences.
Attend one meeting a week for 8 weeks and get professional feedback on up to 4,000 words (more details below).
BETTER THAN A WORKSHOP
The workshop model is outdated. It was designed in the mid-20th century for an academic audience that was almost exclusively young, white, and cis-gendered male. But here's the thing: even if you are young, white, and male you will benefit (creatively, professionally, socially), as we all do, from being around different kinds of writers. Let's all bring our unique selves to the writing room, shall we?
Workshop
- ❌ Doesn't help you make time to write
- ❌ Provides feedback from random writers not working in your genre
- ❌ Requires you to give notes (which takes up time you could spend writing)
- ❌ No structure for continued support
- ❌ Not always a safe space
Sit Write Here Community
- ✅ Join daily co-writing sessions
- ✅ Receive feedback from a professional writing coach working in your genre
- ✅ Swap pages with other members, but only if you really want to
- ✅ Know that we're here for you, every day
- ✅ Feel safe and supported in your writing journey
"What I’ve learned from April and my fellow participants has made an incalculable improvement in my writing routine."

TRANSFORM YOUR WRITING LIFE
Imagine a place where you can meet like-minded writers, drop into that creative flow you’ve been searching for, and (when you're ready) get professional feedback on your pages. The Sit Write Here Mindful Writing Community is designed to bring you closer to your writing goals—every day.
DAILY WRITING SESSIONS
Every day at 9:30 am Pacific Time
Our 90-minute co-writing sessions begin with a guided 15-minute meditation to help you center and prepare for focused writing. After 60 minutes of dedicated writing time, we wrap up with 15 minutes to connect, celebrate, and share.
PROFESSIONAL FEEDBACK ON YOUR PAGES
Attend just one meeting a week for 8 consecutive weeks and earn yourself a SANGHA TOKEN. Trade in your token for professional feedback on up to 4,000 words of your manuscript, or save them up to submit more pages at once. Tokens are good for one year and there's no limit to how many you can earn.
WEEKLY Q&A SUPPORT
Wednesdays at 11 am Pacific Time
This is where writers get live, personalized support from seasoned coaches and peers. And if you miss a session, don't worry. All Q&A meetings are recorded and available on-demand.
A WONDERFUL COMMUNITY
In the Mindful Writing Community, you’re never alone on your writing journey. Whether you’re just starting out or deep in the writing trenches, this community is here to cheer you on, share insights, and celebrate the wins (big and small). You’ll never feel like “just another writer.” You’re part of a team here.
I would not have finished my book without April and her incredible community. The accountability, the solidarity, the support, the mindfulness. It really changed my experience of the writing life and I'm so grateful.

I KNOW HOW HARD YOU'RE WORKING
I see you. I see you caring for everyone in your life, going above and beyond for your employer/children/spouse/parents/pets and STILL somehow making time for your writing. Your commitment and perseverance are amazing, and I have no doubt that you will finish your book.
I also know how hard it can be to try and do this alone. Writers need support. We need a place to ask questions, to get inspired, to get feedback, and to actually get some damn work done.
That's why I created the Sit Write Here mindful writing community: get words on the page, get advice when you need it, and make serious progress toward finishing your manuscript.
Because the world needs your story now, more than ever.
"I love having Tuesday/Thursday 9:30 on the calendar for the rest of the year to keep me on track!"

YOUR NOVEL ISN'T GOING TO WRITE ITSELF
You've been meaning to get back to it. You know the story is there. You just need to actually sit down and write.
So let's make that happen. This week.
The 3-in-7 Challenge is a 7-day trial of the Sit Write Here Mindful Writing Community for just $37. Show up three times and you'll win personalized feedback from April on 1,000 words of your work.
But honestly? Most people find that three sessions is all it takes to remember why they wanted to write this book in the first place.
Your seven days start the moment you sign up.
WHY A CHALLENGE AND NOT JUST A FREE TRIAL?
Because free doesn't encourage you to show up.
We've found that writers who join the community with a goal (three sessions, one week, real feedback on their pages) actually write. They experience what it feels like to have a daily practice, a supportive room, and a coach who knows their work.
A free trial gives you access. The 3-in-7 gives you momentum.
And momentum is the thing you've been missing.
