Practice What You’ve Learned So Far
To help my former students put their writing skills to use and sustain the momentum they’ve built up in my classes, I have launched three levels of “Dream Teams,” which are going into their second term beginning August 2010.
Dream Teams are for former students who want to turn their writing dreams into action. Register for Dream Teams below. Space is limited. Groups fill quickly.
I only work with former students. So if you are a mom writer and you need help getting going with writing for publication, please take Writing & Publishing the Short Stuff first (see the Classes page) and then sign up for a Dream Team.
I hope to work with you on an ongoing basis as part of one of the upcoming Dream Teams!

Article Accountability Dream Team With Writing & Publishing the Short Stuff Students
With Christina Katz
Prerequisites: WPSS
The Article Accountability Dream Team is a monthly 90-minute accountability group that guides members towards getting more articles in print in less time than it might otherwise take going it alone. Members will check in each month, ask questions, and set monthly goals. Christina Katz facilitates this group by phone as a way to stay in touch with her former students and point out the shortcuts, pitfalls, and career-building opportunities available to article writers, who wish to get published, build a portfolio of clips, and profit from their writing.
What former participants say:
Writing is a very solitary profession and the Dream Team allowed me access to people with similar writing goals and desires. The group climbed the writing ladder together and, with the support Christina, we pushed each other toward our own individual writing goals. I was surprised by how much of my work got published and how much I learned in five months! ~ Janine G.
This Dream Team gave me the kick in the butt I needed to stop dreaming of being a writer and actually DO it. The support and accountability of the Dream Team made the prospect of being a mama writer much less lonely and daunting. If you think you might want to be a writer, join this group! ~ Laura A.
The Dream Team experience helped me to change my mindset about my writing – I now see myself as a professional freelance writer! ~ Linda S.
Had it not been for my Dream Team experience, I doubt I would have been published as quickly as I was. It was just enough gentle butt-kicking encouragement to get me submitting my work even with my family challenges. ~ L’Tanya D.
