Book Planning Course with Rose Mascaro
3 Workshops in July
Fiction and Non-Fiction
Let’s get your book off the ground with the magic of heart and the alchemy of strategy.
Writers need more nurturing than ever...
For some reason, so many of you think that writing is a magical, innate, solo journey. That you either ‘have it’ or you don’t. But what if you just need a teacher, time, technique, community – and heart connection?
(even though it’s hard to know where to turn for real human help in a world of AI!)
I'm Rose Mascaro
founder of heartwriting, author of the heart writing handbook
And I’m here to help you get started on your dream book.
Equipped with a Master of Arts in creative writing, a former career as magazine editor, a decade of spirituality and awakening, and working as a ghostwriter for Lisa Messenger… plus taking hundreds of students through my holistic and academic writing courses – I know that this course is going to be a gift of strategy and awakening.
What does your heart really want to write?
And how do you plan that book so that you can do it justice – to fall lovingly into the hands of the world?
This course is designed to give you the structure, tools and heart to get the project started – because as you may already have realised, it’s a very daunting task to write a book.
Especially on your own!
Filled with strategy, structure, sharing, writing time, and fun, this course is a great refresher for those who haven’t looked at their books for a while… and a brilliant start for those who haven’t braved their dream project yet.
Starting Friday July 10, 9am Sydney time:
- 3 x 1.5 hour live workshops
- Guided meditations for clarity
- Planning, writing and sharing time.
- Lifetime access to all recordings
- Slides and planning resources
- Free entry to “Ten Days of HeartWriting” (valued at $199)
Three limited edition workshops with Rose Mascaro, founder of HeartWriting – designed to help you plan & start writing your dream book.
There’s a book tugging at your heartstrings — but turning that knowing into a clear, grounded plan can feel overwhelming. This three-week live course is designed to give you the structure, tools, and heart you need to finally begin.
Across three 1.5-hour online workshops, you’ll clarify what your heart truly wants to write, explore who your book is for, and learn how to shape your ideas into a coherent, compelling structure. We’ll look at real examples of book ‘shapes’ and impact, and learn how to link chapters together so your book feels like a journey, not a jumble.
We’ll experiment with practical planning methods — from post-it-note mapping to simple digital systems — and start drafting a living outline or book proposal you can keep evolving. Every session begins with meditation and gentle movement for deep connection, then moves into teaching, guided prompts, solo planning time, and optional sharing within a warm HeartWriting community.
If you’re ready to stop circling your book and start building it (with heart) this course is for you.
