Writer’s Roadmap
8-Week Program

You’ll start with an in-depth pre-roadmap workbook for reflection and intention setting, followed by a kickoff call to define current goals. We’ll meet bi-weekly to review, revise, and hone your writing and plan your next steps. Includes weekly email support and personalized accountability plan.

We’ll systematically work through each segment of your project until it feels complete.

Writer’s Roadmap
Full-Day VIP Session

We’ll dive into this session with a full tank of possibilities. We’ll review your writings and see what centralized themes and ideas are ready to emerge. We’ll find your best structure and create a cohesive narrative arc. Then we’ll sequence your writings, define gaps and create next steps.

You’ll leave with a personalized 60- to 90-day action plan, a fresh take on your writing, and a clear path forward.

Kind Words From Participants:

  • “A great place to expand your skills.” "I heartily recommend this class as a great place to find your voice and improve and expand your skills. It is appropriate for those with vague goals as well as those with works in progress. The practice of blending history, personal experience, theme, and descriptions really led to some good solid pieces. Through Erica's focused individual guidance, we were each treated like writers instead of students."

  • “Never fails to make my imagination leap.” “Erica weaves an experiential class of stories, writers, and inspiration together around Sense of Place that never fails to make my imagination leap. Her classes always deepen my connection with my current and past places which drives me to further explore my attachment to places that I would never have considered writing about before."

    James McMenamin, Switzerland Heritage Photographer

  • “Helped me find my writing voice.” "Working with Erica has moved my writing in directions that I never thought possible. It has helped me find my writing voice and helped my ideas coalesce into a set of connected essays. Erica has a sort of magic to her teaching, where she is more of a guide than a teacher who can pick up on what individuals need in the way of direction. It is a writing journey with others, and they are the best travel companions!"

    Julia Clebsch, New Hampshire, Naturalist, Retired Park Ranger

  • “I have not written this much or as easily in my 30+ years in academia” "I highly recommend Erica Wheeler and her writing classes! I have had a great deal of experience writing academic articles and chapters, which in turn meant I had little to no opportunities for descriptive or creative writing. I have not written this much or as easily in my 30+ years in academia. The classes are supportive and keep us actively writing, but also allow us to go at our own pace and take on as much or as little that meets our schedules."

    Jeanne Stanley, Ph.D., Pennsylvania, Psychologist, Graduate School Consultant

  • “I learned to write much more expressively” "I took Erica's class to get back to a regular writing schedule and pick up on a writing project I had sidelined a long time ago. Erica creates a warm and inviting space for participants to develop their writing without fear of judgment. It gave me permission to use my voice and lean into creating a scene through vivid details. I learned to write much more expressively because of it!

    Shae McWilliams, Rhode Island

  • "You've given me a whole new way of thinking about place. "Living in a place where I really don’t feel connected, this process has really helped me come to terms with it, and how that’s okay. I can write about that."

    Christina Campell, Iowa
    University Professor and Knitting Blogger

  • “Opened my eyes.” “l had never taken another writing class, so this was a new experience. I had never thought of myself as a poet, but Erica stating that the rhythm of one of my pieces sounded like poetry opened my eyes. I valued the opportunity to do writing in class and was always surprised when short pieces I wrote turned out to be good!”
