The impulse to write a book, release a poetry collection, develop a keynote, craft a solo-show, offer an online program etc… doesn’t come from outside of you, it comes from within you.
When a story calls, it knocks on your heart until you answer, and it will continue to call on you until you deliver. What is calling to you?
“TinaO has been a driving and supportive force in my writing journey. Her intuitive sense of art combined with her deep grasp of story structure helps me navigate my way through even the stormiest of writing seas. I particularly enjoy her ability to offer suggestions in a way that always feels additive. Her phrase, “That’s great! Now try this…” works so well to engage and motivate me in the process. Her careful editing and assistance mean that when I submit to the publisher, my story is ready in a way that few others are – as she says, she wants our stories to be bulletproof when they emerge from the cocoon of retreats, private sessions, and group feedback. She’s created an intensely safe community of writers and a gathering of women who are unfailingly supportive, sharp, and loving and with her help, I’ve completed two books and plan five more. I highly recommend working with TinaO if you have a deep story to tell. She’ll help you get it together and get it out to the world so it can impact those who need it.”
– Katherine Lazaruk, Love is Not Pie & Songs for My Father
Tina Overbury and Meribeth Deen of The Writer’s Adventure helped me write my first book, a book that has been inside of me for a number of years but which I struggled getting onto the written page. They helped me transform the words and content into something amazing, that is me, but I could not do on my own. They did not help me get it done in record time, because the process is one of digging deep, uncovering more of what was within me and they guided me at every step to pull out ‘more’ from ‘me’. They don’t take over. They guide. They coach. They ask. They listen. They challenge. They understand. As a team, there is this intersection of gifts, talents, experience and personality that dovetail beautifully. I am a more confident writer because of these two. They are loyal and supportive. They are with you every step of the way. Without them, I would have had a book. That’s it. With them, I have my life work, my words, my creation in a beautiful format that is now ready for the world to see. Know this! This is the team you want to have walk beside you through the process of writing and completing a book because they honor ‘you’ and your work. I highly recommend Meribeth and Tina. I will hire them again for Book Two.

Tina is a practical, yet mystical writing coach. Writing coach sounds boring. Tina draws your story out of you – whether it’s a business book or other non-fiction, novel or kids’ book. I highly recommend her. – Kellie Garret, Leadership Consultant
