Write On!
An Empowering Writing Community for Women and Gender-Diverse Voices
Find your writing voice and finally share it.
Write On! is a writing community designed to help women and gender-diverse writers express themselves and share their work without being held back by perfectionism, imposter syndrome, or self-sabotage.
We meet regularly to write together in a supportive space where you can actually get those words on the page! I provide coaching to help you break through creative blocks and develop your unique voice. Need help getting published? I'll teach you the self-publishing ropes or connect you with my network of publishing pros who can help take your work to the next level.
Whether you're just starting out or have already published your work before, Write On! is where your writing goals meet community support and practical guidance.

About Me
Hey, I’m Rachel.
I’m an 8-time self-published author and 14+ year award-winning blogger. I’m the founder of Alive in the Fire. I am passionate about helping women tell their stories, show up authentically online, and find success in their creative endeavors.
I started this group because even though I’ve been a writer my whole life, it took me a long time to find the confidence to publish my work and open myself up to feedback.
I know what it’s like to be held back by soul-crushing perfectionism, self-doubt, and being at war with yourself internally.
Is my writing good enough?
Would anyone want to read it?
Who am I to share my writing, anyway?
I’ve struggled with all of these questions and many more.
I know what it takes to build confidence and create momentum. I know how powerfully your life can change when you start to take your writing seriously and make time for it. And I’m here to help you do just that.
