Writing with Roshaunda is for Black women in higher education working on book projects that share the stories that typically go untold.
I help Black women in higher education who feel unseen, unsupported, and undervalued tell the stories that typically don’t get told. Writing with Roshaunda is for you if you need direction on how to get started on the book God is calling you to write, help dedicating time to writing, strategies for placing and honoring boundaries around that time, and support and accountability while building a writing habit.
I combine my experience as an academic writer, writing coach , certified executive coach, and certified fiction book coach with the literary techniques, methods, and mindsets of 19th Century writers (the OGs who made sure our stories got told). In me you have a coach with a keen editorial eye, years of experience working with writers, and someone who is deeply concerned with sharing stories that often go untold. Let’s tell your story together.

Strategic Semester: From Idea to First 100 Pages in 16 Weeks
$1500
In this 16-week cohort for Black women academics, you will go from being unsure of how to start your book project and struggling to create a writing habit to having dedicated writing time, a blueprint for your book, and your first 100 pages.
Through this 16-week cohort, you and your fellow sojourners will move from idea to 100 pages. We begin with 4 weeks of 1:1 work on the Blueprint for a Book. Next come 12 weeks of co-writing sessions, flash coaching, and accountability partners. By the end of the semester, you will have an outline and major points for your book, your first 100 pages, and the strategies to write forward with confidence.
Highlights of Strategic Semester include:
*Blueprint for a Book. The Blueprint tool guides you through your motivations for writing, major points, and outline for your book. Your work through the Bluerpint includes a 60-minute 1:1 session with Roshaunda.
*Mission Manifesto. The Mission Manifesto tool walks you through your mindset and values about writing, why you write, what you want to do with your writing, and what you want your writing to do in the world. You’ll create a manifesto to guide your writing decisions, and you’ll get to share it with your cohort.
*12 live sessions. Twelve live weekly cohort sessions create consistency in your writing habit and forge community with you and other cohort writers. You will work with accountability partners in each weekly session and log your word count. Weekly sessions are on Tuesday mornings and last an hour and 45 minutes.
*Flash coaching. During the live cohort sessions, one member of the cohort will pre-submit questions to Roshaunda and receive live coaching. Everyone learns more about writing, and more importantly about themselves, from the ideas that surface during flash coaching.
*Co-writing. During each live session, you’ll devote 70 minutes to co-writing. This allows you to dedicate time to your word count and increase your focus through the power of body doubling.
*The next cohort begins in August 2026. The cohort will have a maximum of 10 members to ensure the best experience for each writer.
