Birth That Book! is for Black women working on historical fiction and speculative fiction book projects that share the stories that typically go untold.
I help Black women 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.
About Birth That Book!
Birth That Book! offers both private, personalized 1:1 coaching and group coaching to help you navigate the challenges of writing. In me you will have not only a partner, encourager, and keen editorial eye, you will have a professional to help you progress more quickly to your writing goals.
