CLASS DESCRIPTION:
Write Meaningful Nonfiction: Turn Your Personal Experiences, Knowledge, and Journaling into an Inspiring Book, Blogs, or Other Writing by Julie Tallard Johnson
• Write a book based on just an idea or theme.
• Write on a subject that has captivated your attention.
• Write a book taken from your blogs.
• Write a book, blog or article based from your field notebooks.
• Write transformational nonfiction based on journal entries or letters.
• Write a book based on your travels, spiritual experience, encounters or views.
Whether you have just an idea for a book, journals full of notes and stories, a series of blogs, or, have written a first draft of a manuscript, you will leave this week with simple, applicable methods for the writing and completing of your book. This means, you will have a personalized architecture, relevant skills and the means to take your idea and experiences to a full crafted book. You will leave fully equipped and ready to continue to write about your life experiences, stories, and wisdom.
I will give you hands-on tools and practices to write compelling and informative narratives based on your personal experiences and knowledge. This dynamic course has helped dozens of writers frame their ideas, get their book written and out to publishers. Several of my writers are now published! You too will know how to share your wisdom, ideas and stories in a captivating way. Write a narrative that reaches readers that gets publisher’s attention. The magic and skill is in making what is personally meaningful to the writer (you), meaningful and captivating for your readers. I use transformational writing prompts that inspire you to write and the reader to be engaged in your stories. We will be writing inside and outside the class, with every day full of writing prompts, explorations, and methods to inspire you to write captivating nonfiction.
A couple extra caveats from this class will be your ability to write better blogs, articles, or any other creative nonfiction piece. (Many of these may end up in your book.) In addition, all my work with writers includes helping them to identify personalized ways to make a living from writing, before and beyond publication of a book.
During the week, I can answer any questions you have about putting your work out in the world, whether it be through a blog, a manuscript sent to a publisher, an article for a magazine, or even a group email. You will have the basic template of what you need to take your personal experiences and make them meaningful to readers.

Instructor Bio:
Julie Tallard Johnson As an author of 11 inspirational books, a popular blog and several fiction and nonfiction published pieces, I can help you forge your own path to writing and completing a captivating book that others will want to read. I have worked with writers for over 25 years where I have simplified a book writing process so that when you go home you will have established a solid foundation for your ideas and writing intentions.
"When I signed up for Write by the Lake, I knew I wanted to write a book, but I didn’t have a clear idea of what the book would be about. I signed up for Julie’s memoir writing course and bought her book, The Zero Point Agreement. As soon as I read the first page I knew I had chosen the perfect teacher (Sherpa) for me. Julie’s teaching style is encouraging and heartfelt, and over the course of the week my mindset shifted from writing as an indulgent hobby to an act of self-expression and service that can actually change the world. Julie’s guided processes and interactive writing prompts took me from idea to a template for my entire book within the week. I now have a completed manuscript that is ready to publish, and much of the writing I did at WBTL is in my book! Julie provides tools and insight that you will take with you for your entire writing life after the week long class. I am forever grateful that because of Julie and her compassionate teaching style, I am now a writer. " –Molly Chanson, MA, Yoga Instructor, author.
