EVERY BOOK BEGINS AS A FIRST DRAFT.

Are you ready to write yours?

ENROLL NOW

There comes a time when you know you're ready to finish your book.

To really commit to it and get that manuscript written.

Perhaps you’re writing on commission, a book proposal that sold or an idea that a literary agent fell in love with and wants to see on the page. Perhaps it’s an idea that you know is new and groundbreaking and needs to be heard.

Or maybe you didn’t intend to write a book at all, but there’s a story that’s been bubbling inside your head for months, maybe even years, and you’re finally ready to share it with the world.

Regardless of the reason, you know it’s time to stop saying, “I’m thinking about writing a book,” and actually commit to finishing it.

But you don’t know how.

Or when.

Or what it takes to go from being the person who wants to write a book to becoming someone who goes ahead and actually does it.

Here’s what you need to finish a book.

Every day, all over the world, thousands of writers are finishing their own books, taking the idea that’s been simmering away in their head... and committing it to the page.

Each one of those writers, as part of their process, went through four steps to get to “The End.”

I've done it--multiple times--and I'm going to show you how to do it, too.

Here's what those writers did:

01

They got clear on their reason for writing the book.

They had to get incredibly clear on why they wanted to write their book. This, then, became the guiding force that gave them a clear sense of purpose and direction through the process of getting down that first draft. 

02

They got clear on what their book is and isn’t.

At some point they made clear, definitive decisions about what this book would encompass and, crucially, what it wouldn’t. 

03

They got clear on what it would take to prioritize this work.

Once they’d decided to write the book they had to make time for it, making practical decisions about what they’d need to shift around in their lives to make space for this work.

04

They showed up and committed to the process.

Finally, they wrote. When it was going to plan and when it wasn’t. When the day’s writing seemed easy, and when it didn’t. When it felt like the flow would never stop, and especially, when it didn’t.

When you do these four things, you’ll finish like a pro.

Your journey from having the idea for a book to having a finished draft will look like this-- no more, no less.

If you do these four things, in this order, you’ll be ready to complete that manuscript and get on the road to publication.

But doing all these things on your own isn’t always easy.

Fortunately, you don’t have to do it all yourself.

I'm excited to introduce you to...

WRITE WITH ME 2025

Because when you do it together, you do it better

Write With Me 2025 is a 8-week accountability program with daily videos that will help you get your first draft out of your head and on to the page.

When you enroll in Write With Me 2025, you’ll be joining a group of writers all working on finishing their books.

This is an accountability group, but unlike other accountability groups where you post your progress once a week, not only will I be keeping you on track daily, but making sure that the small block you can barely see today doesn’t become a huge wall of defeat tomorrow.

You don't have to figure this stuff out on your own anymore.

Meet your instructor:

Hi, I'm Natasha Khullar Relph! 

I'm a freelance journalist, a bestselling indie author, and a creative entrepreneur. I’ve lived on four continents, written for publications in 80+ countries, and been a contributor to The New York Times, TIME, CNN, BBC, Psychology Today, ABC News, Marie Claire, Vogue, Ms., and more. 

I'm a hybrid author, which means that while I'm represented by top literary agencies (Trident Media Group in New York and Peters Fraser + Dunlop in London) for my novels and narrative nonfiction, I also indie publish books for writers and anything else that catches my fancy.

My books include Shut Up & Write: The No-Nonsense, No B.S. Guide to Getting Words on the Page and eight other bestselling books for writers. My work has also been included in The Lonely Planet Travel Anthology: True Stories From the World’s Best Writers (Lonely Planet, 2016), Breaking Out: How to Build Influence in a World of Competing Ideas (Harvard Business Review Press, May 2013), Voices of Alcoholism (LaChance Publishing, April 2008), and Chicken Soup for the Pre-Teen Soul 2 (HCI, June 2004).

"I ended up writing for more days in a row than I ever have before."

My creative writing projects were always derailed by work, life, and worries my writing wasn’t ‘good enough.’ Natasha’s teachings, the private community, and the writing sprints and streaks were the perfect mix of mentorship, accountability, and community. Write With Me pushed me in a good way and was fun too. Above all, I know I'll continue writing going forward and that's a big flipping deal for me.

- Sondra Wolfer

"Easy, inspiring, effective, affirming."

The energy of the group and your leadership had me not only caring but WANTING to write. I was incredibly pleased and amazed what an effective program this was for me. I loved the private community and the daily connection with other writers. I really felt like I had a co-working team.

- Amy B. Scher, Bestselling Author of This is How I Save My Life

"The course exceeded my expectations."

Inspiring, clear, effective. I’ve never participated in this type of course before, so I was a little unsure before purchasing. I was worried about the time commitment, but I figured what is a perfect way to force myself to write, but to have a group of people to keep me accountable. The course exceeded my expectations, the community was wonderful, and the videos were so helpful.

- Kamila Jambulatova

How would it feel to finally start writing those books...

WITHOUT the procrastination, the dread, and the lack of control?

Here's What We Will Do:

We will be focusing on three main things:

1. Word count
2. Ass in chair
3. FUN!

DAILY WORD SLAM

We will be using a private community to post the number we hit each day, as we hit it. (Don't worry, I'll help you get set up.) This will be where we’ll keep in constant communication and be where we can share our successes, our progress and our battles.

SPRINTS

This is the secret to how I manage to write so much these days (often between 2,000 and 5,000 words a day). We’ll have 15-minute, 20-minute, and 30-minute sprints scattered throughout the day that will help you rack up your word count. This is especially helpful for those of us who don’t have long hours in the day to devote to writing.

(You’ll be surprised at how quickly the words add up, too!) 

STREAKS

If sprints are the mechanism through which I’ve achieved my word count goals over the last year, streaks are the foundation on which it is all laid. Streaks are simple—you show up daily and mark each day that you worked on a calendar. In a few days you have a streak and your goal is to keep that streak going for as long as possible. The longest streak I had in the last year was 29 days but I’m hoping to beat that in this challenge!

MOTIVATIONAL VIDEOS

I love sharing what I’ve learned as I’m learning it and I’ll be doing exactly that as we move through the eight weeks we have together. You’ll get a quick 5-minute video at the beginning of your day to help you feel inspired and raring to go with your writing.

CHALLENGES

This is one of the most exciting parts of this project. Because even though the sprints and the streaks will keep you writing and consistent, these challenges are going to provide you with the additional fuel we all need when a project runs long and the messy middle holds up a finger. The challenges will include things like hitting 1,000 words for the day or writing 8 days in a row or showing up for a sprint at a specific hour of the day.

1:1 COACHING

Have questions? Need support? Stuck and need some guidance? In addition to the daily and weekly accountability that you'll be receiving from me, you'll also be able to sign up for 1:1 support and get advice for your unique challenges.

When you have questions, you're one message away from an answer.

I’m not going to lob a bunch of videos at you and disappear.

When you join Write With Me 2025 you get 45-day membership into a private group. So if you get stuck and need some help, all you have to do is get in touch and I will personally help you out.

You don’t have to pay my coaching rates. You’ll get my support via the group for eight weeks as part of your enrolment in the class.

This is big stuff and I’m here for you--in the community and on Zoom if you sign up for the additional 1:1 coaching support.

I’m going to take good care of you and help you squeeze the maximum benefit from this program.

"Brilliant, effective, invaluable."

WWM has taught me to write faster, better. For me, the hardest part of a first draft of anything involving creativity is just starting and continuing to move forward without getting in my own way and hitting the backspace key too much before I've even completed a single sentence.

WWM sprints changed the way I write, and have made me much more efficient and, I dare say, better and more prolific than I otherwise would be.

- Kassondra Cloos, adventure travel journalist and freelance writer

"By the third day, I was sold."

I read about the course and like the accountability part of it, knowing I needed to sit my butt in the chair and write. However, I went into it thinking Eh, I’m going to do it, but I’m not sure I’m buying in to this sprints and streaks stuff. By the third day, I was sold. Turns out the sprints and streaks were exactly what I needed to fit my writing into my life, motivate me, and make me feel like I was making progress.

I loved having a private community for the writers to come together and become a community that asked questions, shared challenges and doubts, and cheered one another on. I’ve never experienced that before in this way, so I found that very valuable.

- Deborah Goldstein

"This method works."

My favourite part was to notice that this method works.

I wrote more than before. It came easier to me. And somehow I allowed myself to accept that my texts can be really good in the first attempt so that I don't need to rewrite them.

Natasha is an inspiring personality who helps you think bigger and push the limits that are just in our heads.

- Anke Ernst

This is for you if:

  • You love writing and want to step up your game in 2025. If you think faster writing means less effective or crap writing, this isn’t for you.

  • You want writing to be your career and your primary source of income and understand that the more you write, the more you will make.

  • You can spend entire days writing and doing not much else (or want to!)

  • You’re committed to a project and to finishing it in the next eight weeks.

  • You believe that writing 3,000-5,000 words a day is entirely possible and that you’d like to learn how to do this (even if it feels ridiculously difficult right now).

  • You don’t buy into the idea of the struggling and starving artist and have no desire to.

  • You want to work on both quality and quantity.

  • You’re so goddamn ready to FINISH.

  • And you’d like to do that finishing in weeks and months rather than years, thankyouverymuch.

 

WE START MONDAY, JANUARY 6, 2025.

Have questions? I have answers!

You can work on whatever you like! The point of the challenge is to help you get more words on the page, more days of the week. Which words you choose and for which projects is entirely up to you. Some people choose to focus on a single project and bring it to completion. Others (like me) will be working on multiple projects and using this challenge as an inspiration to get higher word counts on all of them.

 

Absolutely! As a writer, you’re always writing all sorts of things and the faster and better you get at that writing, the more fun (and profitable!) it will be. You could use this challenge to write blog posts, query letters, or make headway on freelancing assignments. The point, at the end of the day, is to get more words on the page. Whether they’re for a book or for a sales page (like this one) doesn’t matter. We’ll count them all!

 

It’s totally up to you, but I tend to count everything. Writing is writing, whether you’re doing it for a novel or a promotional email. Every word you write makes you a better writer and therefore, every word you write should be counted and acknowledged. It’s totally your choice if you want to limit your word count only to the specific book or novel you’re writing, but I tend to count them all. Any excuse I can give myself to tell myself I’m winning, is an excuse I’ll happily take!

 

Definitely. Firstly, because even though you might choose to take that week off, you’ll be making fantastic progress in the weeks before and after. You also might find, however, that sneakily, this challenge has given you the tools, the momentum, and the confidence to still keep producing words even while you’re traveling because it’s become an effortless process that you can continue even on the road and not just something you do when you’re tied to your desk and your routine.

 

Maybe. I want you to learn how to write in the small spaces between your life so that writing is something that you do regularly and naturally, not something that gets done in the two weeks of the year when you can escape from your family. The way I do sprints is geared, specifically, for people who have to fit writing around their lives and who don’t have hours upon hours to spend at their desks. But you still have to commit to showing up and creating those pockets of time.

This year has been difficult for everyone and if finding 30 minutes in a day is difficult right now, then don't add to your stress. Maybe right now is not a good time and things will be different in a year. But if you can take out some time every day, then absolutely, come join us. I'll show you how to maximize that time. 

 

No, this program is for pure accountability and is based around the idea of trust and personal responsibility. You’ll be self-reporting your word counts and whatever you say you’ve done, I’ll believe you.

 

No. There are several other programs that I run that do just that and I’d love for you to check those out. This one, however, will focus exclusively on getting together a group of writers all aiming towards getting the maximum number of words on our collective pages in the three months we have together.

 

Feel free to email me anytime at [email protected] and I’ll get back to you as soon as I can!

Take a peek inside the group...

Here's what you can expect to happen.

  • You’ll finish your book! (You do have to show up and do the work, though. This ain’t magic.)
  • You’ll be a faster writer.
  • You’ll be aiming higher than you ever have before.
  • You’ll have become a better writer with more tools to play with.
  • You’ll have understood and truly internalized how much fun all of this can be.
  • You’ll know for certain that you’re capable of this.
  • You’ll have tools under your belt to fall back on when you get off track in the future.
  • You’ll have made cool writer friends doing the same things as you and aiming for the same goals.
  • You will be proud of the work you’re doing and the effort you’re putting in.
  • You will make progress with the understanding that progress, any progress, is better than sitting still and waiting for perfection.
  • You will be several steps closer to your dream.

"Really fun and motivating, and kept me on track throughout the program."

You always strike the right balance between keeping us, and yourself, honest while being encouraging and playful and genuine about the day-to-day struggles that come up that challenge us as writers.

I've found that what sets you and your programs apart is your dedication to the craft of writing. Other groups have been hyper-focused on earning well, and you emphasize that, too, but you keep the love of writing at the center of everything.

Finally, I'll just say that Write With Me is by far my favorite writing program I've ever done. It is worth every penny and my only complaint is that it's only on for three months out of the year 😂

I already have it on my calendar for next year!

"Promotion and reality match!"

I participated in the debut season of Write With Me (2020) when I had a huge nonfiction project with a big deadline—set by someone else—I needed to work on pretty much every waking hour. This year, I wanted to work on a personal project, where the only person who cares if I get the work done is me. I wasn't sure if I would see the same success from Write With Me 2021, but I did. The encouragement and understanding I got from the group pushed me to keep chipping away at my writing.

This isn't some get-rich-quick scheme with a lot of empty promises. This is three months of accountability and encouragement. Promotion and reality match!
