WYFBA got me to write a book. I feared letting the group down or needing special attention that took time away from everyone else. The program gave me a reassuring space to believe it would all work out.
Remember the first time you wrote your name?
Grasping the crayon with your little hand, scribbling out the barely legible letters, so proud of yourself for learning this skill we call writing.
Where did that awe and pride in your writing go?
Maybe it was a teacher who failed you in English.
Maybe it was a parent who told you to get a real job.
Maybe it was simply that life took you in a different direction.
But you’ve made your way back here for a reason.
From idea to published book, our comprehensive program guides you through every stage of the writing process, empowering you to finally realize your dream of becoming a published author!
According to a study done by the New York Times, 93% of Americans want to write a book, 80% start, and only about 3% actually finish.
To finish a book, you need accountability, camaraderie, and coaching – which is why we’ve built all three into WYFBA.
You are 92% more likely to achieve a goal if other people know about it and help hold you accountable to doing it, according to the The American Society of Training and Development.
That’s why we have accountability built into WYFBA.
With monthly coaching check-ins, weekly writing meet-ups, and a Facebook group you can access anytime you need it, you’ll have a whole community of people holding you accountable to sitting your butt in that chair and doing the work.
Writing a book doesn’t have to be a lonely process. In fact, it shouldn’t be! As the stats show above, you’re far more likely to actually write your book if you have people along the journey with you.
Between our weekly writing meetups, interactive coaching calls, and community group, you’ll never feel alone on this journey.
We even have fun in-person events, like CAMP WYFBA, happening June 8 & 9 in San Diego.

WYFBA got me to write a book. I feared letting the group down or needing special attention that took time away from everyone else. The program gave me a reassuring space to believe it would all work out.

I finished my entire book, and the first round of edits today! Now I’m onto the next stages … I can’t even begin to tell you how much I’ve gotten out of this writing group — it came into my life at the PERFECT time and gave me clarity when I needed it. Thank you, Lauren, and everyone in the group for your support. I’m excited for the next phase with all of you!
I am a recovering academic who once prioritized emotionless technical writing. With Lauren’s help this month, I realized how much I used to hide behind this technical style and how deeply I needed to connect to the pure joy of writing.
I took two big steps this month: I separated writing from work by dedicating my personal IG to celebrating my writing journey, and I took the challenge to create content on my business IG that includes my whole body.
Through this I am reconnecting with the soulful joy of writing that I have been desperately longing for while encouraging myself to experience being fully seen in a variety of ways. I can’t wait to see where these big moves take me!
After years of writing courses, workshops, and countless unfinished projects and story ideas, I finally gave in to Lauren’s infectious energy and signed up for WYFBA.
Since joining I have received guidance, all support and no judgement, and I’m finally working on a picture book that I’ve been dreaming about for years.
I feel more joyfully creative than I have in ages.
In addition to the big win of getting past the block on this book I’ve been nursing for 5 years, I also
1) shared the manuscript with a picture book critique group I’m in and the story made the reader cry while she was reading it.
2) am now working on the illustration spreads and am making progress
3) told 2 more friends that I’m working on this picture book.
The WYFBA program and community are exactly what I needed to get me to the next chapter of my creative journey.
Since joining WYFBA I have written my first book and begun to plot out the series I’d only dreamed of writing.
Having Lauren’s support and guidance has been invaluable. As someone who can easily burn out, I love how she encourages us to prioritize rest and rewards to stay motivated. I feel good about my goals and believe with my whole heart that I would not have gotten as far as I am had I not joined WYFBA.
I just know I’d still be stuck in an editing loop, never getting through my first draft. Weekly writing sprints and coaching calls with this fantastic group of people have kept me accountable and inspired.
I love working with so many supportive and accepting folx. Trusting them to be my first round of Beta-reading, I could not have asked for better.
I’m an author, story coach, and founder of School for Writers™, where we help aspiring authors leave a legacy through telling their story.
I have been helping people tell their story for over 30 years.
Yes, you did the math right, I started at age 9.
As a member of my local 4-H club, I was required to give a presentation to my peers and I chose to talk about how to have an impact on your audience as a speaker. My #1 tip? Bring snacks.
In the decades since, I have coached award-winning filmmakers, best-selling authors, and world-renowned speakers in the art of connecting with audiences through storytelling – including two years directly supporting Tony Robbins on his content and coaching the speakers on his stage.
I still swear by snacks, but now I’ve developed a proven roadmap to success that centers around telling personal stories that balance vulnerability with professionalism.
Lauren is one of the brilliant maestros. She knows how to direct you to your most powerful story. How to lead you to bringing out the magic in every aspect of your work. I am so grateful for Lauren’s support and guidance … She helped to beautifully weave things together to have the most profound impact. Lauren is incredible at truly stretching us to reach that higher level of performance. Thank you Lauren, so grateful for your guidance.
Lauren is a master in helping you feel comfortable and confident telling your story. With patience and kindness she listened to me talk and then helped me draw out the most impactful and powerful parts of my story.
In everything she does, you can feel Lauren’s passion and love for helping people tell their stories, especially people who are often silenced in our world. I’m so glad I met Lauren and so grateful that she is my story coach and friend.
If you have ever journaled, wrote a thoughtful social media post, or written something for school (even if it was years ago) – YOU ARE A WRITER!
Around here, we believe that everyone is a writer and everyone deserves a life full of creativity and stories.
Even if you only have an inkling of an idea that you want more writing in your life, then this workshop is for you.
And let’s be real, if you’ve read this far, you have more than an inkling. You have a burning desire for more writing in your life.
So what are you waiting for?
Sign-up and start making time for writing in your life today!
The whole workshop is three hours long, including the work time you do within it.
The systems and techniques you will learn in the program take about an hour a week to implement in your life, plus all the time you’ll free up to be creative going forward in your life.
You will also get 30 days of email bonuses to help you implement the material.
Our goal first and foremost is to help you make space in your life for artistic creativity. We don’t want you to sit on this program material and never use it.
Deadlines get people to take action and so we’ve implemented the 30-day post-workshop limit to help make sure you actually take the program and do the work.
You’ll have lifetime access to the material, but you’ll only have 30 days of email support from us to keep you accountable.
If you want extended accountability, join my Write Your Friggin’ Book Already® program where you’ll get access to this workshop and many others for the life of your membership.
Because you get instant access to the course material and the workshop link, and because we want you to show up and be held accountable to making time for creativity in your life, we do not offer refunds of any kind, except where legally required.
The value of Sustaining Your Creativity is above and beyond the price you pay to join. Lauren’s VIP private clients pay $30,000 for six-months of coaching to work through the systems you’ll learn in this workshop.
We know that $30,000 is not affordable for most people, so Lauren created this half-day workshop to teach these powerful skills to those who are still growing their writing careers and creative assets.
While this current price is a GREAT deal for this high-end program, we’ve been broke artists before and understand that many creatives lack access to resources, especially those who come from historically marginalized and systemically oppressed communities.
Which is why we offer 10% of spots in all our programs to people from underserved and under-resourced communities who would otherwise not be able to afford it.
On top of that 10% of spots saved for people who would otherwise not be able to afford the program, this workshop is always free to refugees, people seeking asylum, people experiencing homelessness, anyone on permanent disability, or members of any indigienous tribe, including the Kumeyaay, who are the original inhabitants of the stolen land on which Lauren lives and School for Writers operates.
Our scholarships are on an honor system, which means if you say you need one we believe you. To get a scholarship, please email us at at courses@laurenmariefleming.com with “Scholarship for Sustaining Your Creativity” in the subject line.
A one-time payment of $200
Three monthly payments of $75
Enroll now and get lifetime access to the workshop + 30-days of email bonuses to hold you accountable to implementing the material.

Lauren is one of the most beautifully sincere people I have ever had the gift of meeting. Her experience runs deep, her perseverance is inspiring. Whether dancing in the sunshine or weathering the storm of life, she is a friend and a mentor – her words are music to my soul.
She ignites a tiny spark inside me to fan the flames into the seldom reached corners of my mind rife with insecurity and doubt, making my uncertainties vanish as my self confidence reemerges and I begin to realize my individual potential and accept myself as I am. I am grateful to her!
I’ve gained so much from my coaching sessions with Lauren. She has helped me move from feeling stuck to finding a way forward by offering a wealth of knowledge, actionable steps, and encouragement. Her thoughtful yet direct feedback is refreshing and it has made a world of difference in my life!
I was fortunate enough to participate in coaching sessions with Lauren. Her advice and insight are invaluable. I cannot recommend her enough. If you need direction, an action plan, or encouragement—look no further!
Coaching with Lauren gives me the same feeling I get after spending a weekend with my best friend, building one another up with unconditional love. In just half an hour, I can go from feeling worthless to feeling like I can take on the world.
Empathic and unwavering, with her trademark wisdom, wit and winsome personality, Lauren’s philosophy and tools for healing self-hatred shepherds us into a new mental paradigm.
