Author Accelerator certified book coach Michaela von Schweinitz offers guidance
from idea to first draft,
from revision to book proposal,
from finding the right structure to finding an agent.
In memoir she guides writers who show us how they turned their lives around. She wants to hear from women who grew out of their limiting believes in customs and the law, in religion and family. Overcoming suppressive circumstances in their upbringing or as they raise their own families.
In fiction and in non-fiction she works on stories that aim for social and environmental justice. Stories that deepen our understanding of current structures of injustice. Showing us a way out of suppression, offering solutions on an individual and on a systemic level.
