Write of Passage Weekly - You Can Publish in a Day

Hey ,

Let me guess — there are countless mental blockers preventing you from publishing your ideas. How do I know? I’ve experienced all them and more — but I promise you there’s a simple solution to each one.  

Unfinished drafts scattered throughout your Google Docs? You need a deadline. Convinced your ideas aren’t worth sharing? You need feedback. Plagued with self-doubt right before you publish? You need community. 

That’s exactly what you’ll get with Publish in a Day. In one barrier-breaking day, you’ll experience all three of these solutions to help you hit that “Publish” button. You’ll write, edit, and ship a piece you’re proud of — all in one afternoon.

Just look at all these alumni who went from zero to published in our last workshop: 

• "Let's Practice Together" – Christian Simamora reflects on the joys and hardships of both fatherhood and childhood. 
• "The Blitz Blues" – Danny Oak explores the highs and lows of creativity.
• "The War on Chickens" – Dayton Shaw experiments with a satirical spin on Big Pharma. (Introducing: Big Chicken.) 
• "Construction Seduction" – Derek Wong explains the nuances of the construction industry.
• "A 6-year 'Coming to America' Saga" – Gautam Deviah writes about his adventure of coming to America at just 17-years-old.

• "Beyond Career Monogamy" – Miche Priest leaves her expectations of a “linear” career behind to celebrate small wins instead. 
• "I gave a 1000-person conference talk and I didn't die" – Priya Rose basically ad-libbed a speech on stage and it was…amazing? 
• "Humans only act out of their self-interests" – Rohan Gayen advocates for more selfish people in society. 
• "Memories: WAV vs MP3" – Saurabh Bhandari discusses when to capture memories and when to live them in real-time.

• "Intervention" – Ken Rice reflects on the pros and cons of collecting objects.

Publish in a Day gets your ideas out of your head and into the world. It could be the catalyst for your writing journey. But don’t take it from me — take it from our alumni:  

“I did more writing, in a shorter time, than I've done in many years. And it was of a quality I'm proud of! If this is how I write going forward, I feel like nothing can stop me.” – Neha

“From the minute the workshop started until we hit 'Publish,' the process was clear and valuable. I learned tangible writing techniques and tips to improve my writing and write more frequently. I'm a Write of Passage fan for life.” – Emma 

“This writing process was phenomenal in that we received immediate feedback from peers about what to write about and how to improve our writing as the day progressed.” – Dave

Some Publish in a Day students have ideas but no direction. We help them decide on a topic through brainstorming and conversation. Others have been sitting on a great idea for months but haven’t published it. We hold them to a deadline and help them share their idea with the world. 

What about you? Will you be next?

Join us on Friday, January 19, to publish in a day. Save your seat below.
