Hey writer, you are the most important part of your story.

You are the single irreplaceable element of your novel, because you provide the meaning, impact, and purpose.

Want to write an impactful novel?

It’s simply not enough* to…

Outline your plot

Interview each character

Revise 57 times

Get beta reader feedback

Write a kickass query

*Though, these are important steps, depending on your goals!

If you think of building a story like a tree, then…

The true secret to writing
an impactful novel is to
embrace your damn self.

Because you are the roots of your story.

You need to find your writing roots, the things that make you unique, keep you coming back to the page, and make this story worth telling.

Finding your writing roots can literally transform your writing life, give you a clearer sense of purpose, and propel you to a book you’re proud of.

That’s why I’m giving away the foundation of my signature system for free.

Let me be as real as the background in this photo:

If I could gift every writer

one thing,

it would be this workshop.

This isn’t your typical webinar where you get a bunch of theory with no practical tools. This is a workshop where you’ll come away with completed, practical tools to apply to your writing immediately.

An Inclusive Invite:

If you are trans, ace, nonbinary, gay,

Black, brown, indigenous,

fat, disabled, neurodivergent,

or otherwise underrepresented in publishing,

I want to extend a special invitation to you.

We need your story now more than ever, and finding your writing roots will help you know who you’re writing to, what you want to say, and what you’re willing to compromise (or not).

During the three-hour workshop, you’ll gain:

  • Personalized values to guide your writing (and life, really).

  • An understanding of how you want your novel to impact the world, your reader, and yourself

  • Clarity about your inspiration and the kind of story you really want to write

  • An Author Statement to ground and guide your writing journey

  • A story point, or purpose statement, from which all elements of your novel can develop

  • Deeper connection to your story

  • Renewed confidence in your novel and writing abilities

  • And yep, again, it’s free, and I provide a replay.

Let me introduce myself.

Hi, I'm Dani Abernathy.

I’m a book coach and Enneagram teacher who helps deep thinkers and feelers write the stories they need to tell so their readers can feel seen and can see others. 

I believe stories can change the world, one reader at a time, because they teach us to have more compassion for ourselves and others. 

Stories are one of our most powerful tools for having less war and more love, and that’s why I’m on a mission to support folks like you as you write brave stories that tell the truth (even in a fantasy world).

It’s my honor to support writers in the slow, deep work of discovering, planning, and writing their stories.

The Find Your Writing Roots Workshop

is for you if you:

Have a story you need to tell.

Want your reader to feel seen.

Want to impact readers on an emotional level.

Believe in the power of story to make the world better.

Are excited to learn more about yourself (or are scared but willing).

Want to feel excited about what you have to offer the world.

Aren’t sure if you're telling the right story or wonder if something is missing in your novel.
