Secrets of Storytelling Mastermind

A six-month, intimate group mastermind for aspiring writers who want to:

  • step into their author identity

  • massively uplevel their writing skill

  • learn the energetic tools essential for reaching the finish line

  • get access to insider publishing knowledge 

Whether you’ve received a “download” in a lightning-strike of inspiration, or your book idea has ripened slowly over time, you’re a big believer in right timing.

And the right timing is now.

So if you’re ready to:

  • Write with passion and bravery, words that will touch hearts and change lives

  • Learn every tool you need to write every book that’s inside you

  • Fall in love with your creative process

  • Channel the book that wants to come through you

  • Unlock vast amounts of energy by actually writing, instead of staying confused…

Then let’s do this.

What Sets Secrets of Storytelling Mastermind Apart

1.

MOST writing courses focus on just TWO stages of writing a book:

How to draft and how to revise. Secrets of Storytelling will help you navigate all the way from the early dreaming stages through publishing and beyond, with inspiration and without burnout.

2.

You will *only* receive feedback from my team of highly skilled, trauma-informed editors.

(No workshopping!) That means you don’t spend your precious time reading other people’s work, and you can be certain that the feedback you receive will quickly move the needle toward your best writing.

3.

You receive a personal, in-depth editorial letter every single month with feedback on your writing…

…which will give you detailed pointers on everything from what’s working well, what needs to shift to make your work more powerful, and exactly how to get it there. 

4.

You’ll experience a process that’s completely unique - because it’s yours.

Discover and deepen your own intuitive writing process. You’ll have access to all the high-level, practical writing and editing insights I learned in my MFA program, plus activations and somatic exercises that will help you to channel ever deeper. 

5.

You’ll get access to insider publishing industry secrets.

Most book coaches or writing programs have an agenda when it comes to publishing. I give you the lowdown on the three publishing pathways - with total neutrality. I’ll tell you how the money works, how the rights work, what you gain and what you lose with each pathway.

6.

You’ll access an intimate community of people cheering each other on.

This is not the competitive, cutthroat culture of some MFA programs. We have each other’s backs. We celebrate each other’s successes. And in this intimate group, you’ll know everyone’s name - there’s no way to get lost. 

Hey there!

I’m I’m Brooke Adams Law: award-winning author, book coach, and CEO of Writing Brave Press.

I help creative, intuitive people become writers and claim their author identity so that they can start, finish and publish brave, dazzling books. 

My debut novel Catchlight was chosen as the winner of the Fairfield Book Prize, named a Best Indie Book of 2020 by Kirkus Reviews, and featured on Good Morning America’s blog.

I’m famous for teaching a juicy, receptive, Divine-Feminine-inspired creative process that has inspired my clients to write and finish books they love, find new layers of richness in their stories, and give birth to their most empowered creative selves.

Ready for some of that? Let’s make it happen.

Don’t take my word for it… here’s what my clients have to say…

From quitting excuses to basking in the energetics of the writing process to the life-altering message to listen to the book, here’s what my clients say about Secrets of Storytelling Mastermind…

  • “There’s all kinds of places that teach you how to write a book. But the thing that makes Brooke’s work unique is the energy and care and gentleness she brings to the process. I love her work around the energetics - it feels exactly right. Her approach is really something special.”

    -Dr. Kara Pepper

  • “I got sick of putting ‘write a book’ on my New Year’s goals every single year. I got tired of my own excuses, so I joined Brooke’s Secrets of Storytelling Mastermind. The monthly deadline of having to submit work for review is, on its own, worth the price of admission. My book wouldn’t exist without Brooke.”

    Kelli Thompson, author of Closing the Confidence Gap

  • "What really made me join Secrets of Storytelling Mastermind was that you designed the program intentionally so we could listen to ourselves and see what book wanted to be written and what words wanted to be put on the page. And that for me was just eye-opening and life-altering. I just listen to the book. It tells me what needs to be written."

    Andrea McCaskey

Let’s be clear…

We are here to unlearn all that patriarchal bullshit.

We aren’t here to punch out a book as fast as possible and cross it off your bucket list and move on to the next to-do item.

We are here because we long to write words that matter.

We want to show up vulnerable on the page, dig deep and write brave.

Because that’s what touches hearts and changes lives.

Because that’s what our hearts long for.

We are here to rediscover our own intuitive, Divine Feminine-inspired, creative magic. To collaborate with the spirit of our books. And ultimately, to write something we are unbelievably proud of. 

Hear what my clients have to say…

From wanting me to charge them more money, to loving the whole-body approach to writing, to the potency of community, here’s what my clients loved about Secrets of Storytelling…

  • “Brooke practices narrative medicine. Another member of Secrets of Storytelling Mastermind told me, “This is the best writing group ever.” Other people in our business course are doing another writing course and we look at each other and say, “Ours is best.” I love Brooke’s live teaching, I seriously feel like I am in a collegiate level course learning things that I didn't know about. She needs to raise her prices.”

    -Dr. Errin Weisman

  • “What I loved most about Secrets of Storytelling Mastermind was that Brooke teaches more than just the mechanics of writing. She teaches whole-body writing. It’s like when people work on their physical health but forget about their mental health or spiritual health - it doesn’t work. We need that complete, holistic picture. In Secrets of storytelling, we’re writing from ALL the places.”

    Ellena Munoz

  • “Knowing that you’re not journeying alone is very potent. Seeing fellow writers on the group call every week putting this love and energy into their own books, it gave me so much permission to step into my own author identity. Being able to share that energy, celebrate each other’s wins and hold each other high was so impactful.”

    Tam Orlando

  • “The weekly calls felt like a pleasurable escape to an exclusive club, where we learned sacred rituals and skills to draw out our stories from the heart space.”

    -Kathy Donnelly

  • "I loved learning all the behind-the-scenes elements of writing a book, embracing my author identity, being guided by Brooke, and being in a community with wise women on similar journeys."

    -Jeni Rogers

  • "I really didn’t think that I would have the time because I traveled weekly for work. But ultimately, I decided to join to breathe life into my desire. Writing my book kept me sane...it was the best escape. And it proved to me that I do have the time."

    -Liza Pincsak

Secrets of Storytelling Mastermind is for you if:

You’re writing a memoir, novel, or personal development / self-help book. 

You want to be a writer and you’re ready to give birth to the fullest expression of your creative self.

You want to write a book - via a writing process that actually fits into your (very full) life. (I run a business, have two small kids, and am working on my second novel.)

You’re a coach or healer and want to write a book for your business - in a way that’s aligned with your values.

  • “I have Brooke to thank for identifying and challenging a limiting belief that I couldn't write fiction. She has such a gift for helping others to see possibilities and for creating a judgement-free space to explore ideas. "

    -Kate Hollis

  • If you are investing your time, your creativity and mental energy into writing your story, it makes sense to invest some of your money into it as well. If you're toying with the idea of working with Brooke, pull the trigger. You won't regret it.

    -Sheila Arnold

  • "Brooke brings an incredible combination of profound, insightful support and concrete, practical guidance to her clients. Sessions with her feel like a sacred container that allow the book to come through the author's channel more fully and clearly. I have worked with other book coaches, and Brooke is by far my favorite. Her intelligent and intuitive approach is just what I was looking for. I'm so grateful for her support and guidance."

    -Carey Gatto

  • "Brooke was my book coach-therapist-whisperer. She reminded me to trust my intuition and bring the words inside me onto paper. She helped my book dreams become reality and provided the guidance, support and love to keep going."

    -Kelli Thompson

  • "Brooke's ability to discern what isn't said is just as important [as hearing what is said]. Her questions, insights and suggestions for next steps reflect her mindful approach to coaching. Anyone can talk about craft, but very few have the gift of seeing deeper into the needs and possibilities waiting for a stuck writer."

    -Kathryn Leroy

  • "The biggest thing that unlocked for me during our work together was that … I could trust myself creatively and trust myself to do the work that I believed needed to be done. The somatic work we did together was really helpful – working with my body got me out of that dead-lock in my brain and over time led to a path for my book that I love."
