Everything You Need to Write
a Book You’re Proud Of
From Rooted to Written
Here's what I know about you.
You're creative as hell. You're thoughtful. You've got something real to say—something that matters.
But you're stuck in this frustrating loop of trying to solve problems you can't quite name.
And it's making you wonder if you should abandon the dream of writing a book (which you’ve had since you were seven, so it would absolutely crush your inner child, not to mention your 43-year-old self.)
Maybe you're a mom who used to know exactly who they were before kids smeared peanut butter on every spare corner of yourself.
Maybe you're uncovering pieces of yourself through writing, but the process feels messy and overwhelming.
Maybe you've invested time, energy, and money into your craft, but you're still staring at a manuscript that doesn't feel like the story you know is inside you.
More information isn't going to fix this.
Another craft book, podcast, or
writing workshop won't do it.
What you need is someone to walk with you inside your story.
Someone who sees both you and your story.
Someone who gets that you can’t write just any book, you need to write one that means something.
And that’s exactly what you’ll get when you go
From Rooted to Written
From Rooted to Written gives you the best of everything: a complete writing system, an aligned community, one-on-one coaching, & whole-story assessments.
From Rooted To Written balances the need for slow, deep writing with the accountability of milestone-dependent assessments. You’ll have the support you need to grow your story within a flexible, time-bound container.
Not a quick fix or a magic formula, but actual guidance through the messy, beautiful process of turning your tangled draft into something you're genuinely proud of.
If you're tired of going it alone, if you're ready for someone to help you see what your story is actually trying to become, let's talk.

Two Years to Go From Idea to Final Draft
Everything you need to write the story only you can tell.
Writing is a lonely journey. You're expected to figure out confusing story structures, craft unforgetable characters, and navigate your own emotional baggage. Oh yeah, and you have to do it all on your lonesome, because your coworker sure doesn’t want to know how the biology of your species mirrors your experience with autism.
What if instead of doing it all alone, you had a complete ecosystem of support?
The Coaching Level combines the Story Tree Process with personalized guidance, creating a holistic experience where your story can truly flourish. You'll get a systematic approach to storytelling AND someone who knows your story intimately.
Your story isn't just random elements cobbled together—it's a living, integrated whole with you at its roots. Through the Story Tree Process, you'll grow your novel organically while getting expert guidance every step of the way.
Perfect for writers who:
Want the direction of an expert-led process with the personalization of one-on-one feedback (How great would it be to have both?)
Are writing from their own questions, identities, or experiences, because you can’t do it any other way
Love worksheets and deep-dive character analysis but also need someone to help them navigate the “What the fuck am I doing?” moments that inevitably arise
Want to understand the “why" behind every story choice so you can know you’re moving in the right direction
Need help to sort through their own shit to find the story they really want to tell
Have tried to finish their book on their own but keep getting derailed
What's included:
Everything in the Community Level, PLUS:
Weekly group coaching calls to get personalized guidance on your bookish questions, big or small
An intimate group of writers who are also writing from their own questions, identities, and experiences
In-depth teaching on character development, plot, series, drafting, and revision so you can write a book you’re proud of
The Story Tree Process, so you can craft your novel without getting lost along the way
Deep-dives on the Enneagram personality system to craft psychologically consistent characters with meaningful growth arcs
Full membership inside our private online group
Opportunity to schedule 1:1 calls with Dani and to get even more focused attention on your book

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I decide I want to move to a different level of the Mentorship?
No problem! You can change levels at any time. If you’d like to join the Coaching level, we’ll have a chat to make sure it’s going to be helpful during your stage of writing.
What genres are best for the Mentorship?
Any heart-centered, character-driven novel meant to impact readers emotionally. I'm less concerned about genre and more concerned about WHY you're writing. If you want your readers to feel seen or to see others, perfect! If you’re writing memoir, reach out and we’ll chat about what kind of support you’re looking for.
How much feedback will I get on my story?
At the Community Level, you'll have the opportunity to ask questions during the monthly Q&A call. At the Coaching Level, you'll get weekly group coaching calls to get direct feedback from me on your story.
Is the Mentorship a critique group?
No. You won't be expected to look at anyone else's work, though you’re welcome to exchange chapters with other writers if you’d like.
