Become a storytelling Mastermind
Write, Launch, and Promote your Memoir like a Mastermind
Write (or rewrite) a story sharp enough to kill a man, in just six weeks
The magic, madness, heaven, sin…
What: A 6-week group coaching program to write or rewrite your memoir with a story so captivating that your readers can't wait to buy your next book. Maybe they even say, “I love you. It's ruining my wallet.”
Why: When you know exactly what you want to say (and your motivations behind it!), you will be able to most effectively sell your story in a social media caption, a reel, a newsletter, or a book.
How: Starting with the last page, we work backwards to teach you how to tell the story you want to tell, with real-life events you have experienced, in the most captivating, and surprising way possible. We believe the greatest magic is in how you choose to reveal the story to your readers, not what happens in it.
Facebook private community for homework, encouragement, and discussion. 20-page sample edit of your work-in-progress.
Your call recordings will be released, Mondays, 12:00pm EDT. Each Monday you'll receive an email with the call recording and weekly topic, and you have the entirely of that week to watch the recording and implement what was discussed.
Who: Memoirists with a book-in-progress. Whether you have a finished manuscript or just the concepts of a book, it is always the right time to get crystal clear on the message you're trying to convey.
6-week group coaching program, private Facebook community, and 20 page sample edit: $1250 now $625

What people say about working with Ashleigh
"Ashleigh’s advice was quick and actionable: the frequency of IG stories, using stickers, questions to the audience. That was December 11 and I had 2134 followers.
The best part is seeing my work have impact in other people’s lives. I’m actually reaching them with my message now: victims of fundamentalist abuse are not crazy, alone, or without power. As I hold space for their stories and shares, they spread that support to one another. Watching a community evolve as a result of my content is incredible, humbling, and deeply healing. Platform is not a distraction from writing or my book. Platform is the wind on the flames of my story. It means I’m not speaking to an empty room.
Building a fire requires elements and method. Ashleigh is a magic flame-throwing strategy goddess. The pieces were there. She knew how to put them together and hand me the match. And she’s helping me do my part to burn the patriarchy down."
Tia Levings, NYT BESTSELLING Author of A Well-Trained Wife: My Escape from Christian Patriarchy
"Working with Ashleigh has been one of the best investments I've made in my writing career.
Growing an author platform can be an unexpectedly discouraging, arduous, and mind-numbing process. Ashleigh has made it dare I say fun and exciting!
She's shared insights and strategies that were personalized to my goals as a writer and has helped me fine tune my vision while better serving my audience.
Most of all, she's helped me to enjoy the process and believe in my ability to accomplish my dreams."
Kathryn Medina, author of The Joys of jet lag

Looking forward to working with her on my future projects!"
