Writing with the Soul of Your Book with Laura Thomas—Jan. 21

Join this immersive workshop about connecting with the soul of your book, overcoming internal barriers, and telling the story you can tell in a way only you can tell it. Through potent content, clarifying exercises, and heartfelt sharing, Laura will guide you in an intimate process of building a relationship with your book that will support you through your whole writing journey–from the beginning to “the end.” 

This workshop is for anyone with a book idea, who’s writing a book and is feeling stuck or burnt out, or someone who’s always wanted to write a book and has no clue where to start!

About the Instructor

As college graduation approached, Laura Thomas lost her older brother. Everything fell apart. After moving to New Zealand and backpacking across Southeast Asia, Laura turned to theater to turn grief into healing. Her one-woman play, Who Am I Without You?, traveled the US to help groups make sense of the unthinkable. In 2019, Thomas released The Magic of Well-Being: A Modern Guide to Lasting Happiness, a widely-loved quick read that’s helped readers live better lives. For the last decade, Thomas has served as a ghostwriter, editor, and story doula with a passion for helping people discover their voice and tell their stories with confidence. With more than 200 books edited and 12 books written, Laura brings seasoned expertise in crafting compelling, authentic stories. Thomas hosts a 6-Week Interactive Book Writing Workshop—Sacred Stories—to help emerging authors discover the soul of their book, craft meaningful and authentic stories, and build a roadmap for their book-writing process. Applications are open for the next workshop starting March 2025. She is currently writing a book with her Zen teacher, a screenplay, a YA fantasy fiction series, and draft 32 (ugh!) of her memoir.
