Why our poetry club is different

Most poetry memberships do a writing group that repeats the same ol’ process.

BORING… So Not Us.

Not to mention, it takes more than just focusing on your craft to grow as a writer.

We don’t shy away from the emotional challenges a poet faces like impostor syndrome, limiting beliefs and vulnerability backlash.

These things are REAL and we want to see you THRIVE in your work,

soaking up the thrill of writing poetry that you’re PROUD of.

We also don’t play around when it comes to demystifying poetry as a career.

If you want to make a living doing poetry, yes IT IS POSSIBLE!

And we got the business skill sets and strategies to support you if that’s something your heart is calling you to do.

Whether you want to do your poetry full time as a poetry career or a life practice using poetry as a way to express yourself and guide you on your healing journey,

you’ll learn mindset, strategy + business practices to aid you in your goals.

We focus on 4 aspects of success

• Cultivating your craft

• Personal development

• Project management

• Business

Grow as a writer + build income sources while learning personal development to maintain success.

No self sabotage here! Say goodbye to impostor syndrome and writer’s block.

WE GOT YOUR BACK.

You’ll have a personal writing coach in your corner with over 15+ years experience as a writing mentor along with a community of poets who celebrate and lift you up.

WHAT our MEMBERS ARE SAYING

“If you envision it you can do it. Grateful to you for helping me to understand that art of poetry and business do mix and for the opportunity to share the path with so many amazing poet voices. The prompts—the weekly discussion gently nudging me to trust my voice and be proud to share words with the world—I also like your feedback on the poems I have submitted for review—thank you! ”  - Caroline Kenna 

“I am grateful to have joined the poetry coaching membership. It’s a safe and comfortable place to learn, to be inspired, and to hone my craft of writing poems. I've also benefited greatly from having access to an up to date list of places to submit my poems for publishing. It makes the process so much easier and manageable. Shane’s weekly feedback on my work has been a tremendous help in learning about my poetic voice and improving my writing. I’ve also learned so much about the industry. Shane is a knowledgeable, caring, and generous coach and I enjoy learning from her.” - Mehrnaz Bassiri

“I've also created a whole workshop and started writing haikus. Southern Fried was really good for me. It was everything I needed, and your Friday pep talk REALLY helped. We needed to kill it on Friday and we were all feeling the pressure going up against New Jeru that night and after taking the 2 on Thursday. I think we were all feeling down (I definitely was) and then I read your pep talk about confidence and just showing up authentically and being confident because of that, and not because you already know the outcome. I shared it with the team and they really appreciated it, and we ended up tying with New Jeru for the 1 and got three 30s. So thank you for your words. I truly carry your teachings every day, and they're true enough to be applied to so much more than just poetry.” - Sara Fox

“Shane is amazing to work with and brought my vision to life. She is incredibly talented and was so intuitive. (Felt like she was inside my head.) She's an incredible part of my process in my journey of publishing. I'm so grateful to you Shane.” - E.Z. Putnam

”You and the folks in this membership are badass inspirations that give hope.” - Ma Dukes 

“Shane is amazing.  The people she brings together are amazing. The conversations every week with the group are dynamic and very informative.  You will learn.  You will grow.  You will be supported.” - Nemo Sum 

“Shane’s poetry coaching membership is not only a chance to level up in your poetry understanding and increase the skills you already have, it is an opportunity to identify the strengths you did not know were there. No matter your knowledge, you will learn aspects of poetry you did not know existed. You will be exposed to uses of poetry you did not believe were possible. Shane can carry a conversation with a child writing the first poem. As a poet of 20yrs I saw Shane engage in conversation about concepts in poetry that I had never heard of in a way that had me leaving ready to teach them. She is your favorite teacher. I can’t wait to share in her class.” - Greylan Counts / Sidekick 

“Thank you so much, Shane! You’ve been such an encouragement and help to me. This program has really leveled me up in a way I could have never done on my own. You’ve been a great coach and I’ve really appreciated all the feedback, encouragement, and instruction.” - Adrian Parrish

“I’m a daily writing partner of one of Shane’s members. My friend has grown leaps and bounds as a writer over the past year under her guidance. He had already been writing poetry for two decades but just a few months into her annual membership his style and skill were starting to expand noticeably. Now at the end of the year he’s come so far it’s hard to believe; adding several technical abilities to his poetry style and even starting to write songs as well. I’m convinced that what Shane is doing works and I’m now looking forward to participating in this great mentorship program!” - Kevin Caldwell II

“Shane has been absolutely invaluable in my growth as a writer. My writing and poetry has become more clear, meaningful and impactful to the reader. She has a unique ability to bring out your potential, authentic voice and her belief in me through my own doubts has helped my confidence immensely. My time working with her gave me the courage to pursue writing and poetry as a career. Something I long delayed but realized I was just lacking the right partner, coach and advisor to help see what I was capable of.” - Jon Davis

“This coaching membership showed me more of the business side of poetry than I'd have ever figured out on my own. It was a really fun way to hone and expand my skills as a writer in a safe, supportive space and that made all the difference. Shane is incredible and I am forever grateful for the wisdom imparted to all of us so graciously. Shane's commitment to emphasizing that there's room for all of us in this business is a testament to her heart. 10/10, would do again." - Sara Fox

“Shane's Coaching Membership is unlike anything I've participated in before. I appreciate having a replay of the classes if I've missed them, having poetry  assignments that are relatable & I can email Shane when I have any questions. In addition to the feedback she gives, others who are in the class ask questions for constructive feedback on poetry pieces that have been shared (to provide a better outlook for the student & for those who hear/read them).” - Zany La Reina
