A community of deep thinkers and feelers
writing the stories they need to tell
so their readers can feel seen and see others
The Rooted Writers Mentorship:
You may not be a world leader or political activist. You don’t have millions of dollars or a huge social following.
You’re just a conscious parent, a person of color, an eXvangelical, a disabled person, Ace, fat, trans, a feminist, Indigenous, anti-capitalist, or neurodivergent.
But you know the power of story to change a person.
You’ve experienced it in your own life—what happens when you see yourself reflected on the pages of a book.
Or when you suddenly understand someone you didn’t before.
Novels have the power to change the world—one barrier, one fear, one person at a time.
You’re writing for your own healing, for the person you used to be, and for the person out there who needs to know they’re not alone.
You’re deeply connected to your story. It’s been with you a long time, and if you don’t at least try to write it, you’ll always wonder, what if?
Now is the time to write your novel.
But you aren’t sure where to start.
You’ve tried before.
You’ve got a dozen first chapters, a full manuscript in a drawer, or a story that keeps getting bigger and bigger without actually going anywhere.
You wonder if you should just give up.
Maybe your story really isn’t any good, and you should stop wasting so much time, energy, and money for a dream you’ll never achieve.
Don’t give up.
The world desperately needs your book. No one else can write the story you have to tell. You just need some help along the way.
That’s where I come in.
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 damn could we use some of that. 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).
My goal is to help you:
Embrace the YOU in your story
Discover what you’re really trying to say
Plan a novel that works
Accept and love yourself more as you write
Know you’re not alone on this journey
And write a manuscript you’re fucking proud of
We need more books in the world from writers like you who have something to say and who are writing for good.
Let’s write your story. The world needs it now more than ever.
“I have a thousand percent clearer picture of the story I want to tell, why it matters, and who my characters are deep down.”
