"When Emily Atlantis Wolf writes a story, a portal opens up for your deeper healing, an opportunity to be brave and discover something sacred about yourself that will change everything, maybe even create your wildest dreams.
PS. Atlantis, I hope you use my paragraph as a testimonial for your writing class."

Being named after Emily Dickinson, I suppose I was fated from birth to love language
and the way words can meander in a sentence the way water moves in a riverbed.
The sound of words delights me. Even if I don't know their meaning.
The struggle to describe the array of feelings generated in a body is my lifelong struggle.
I know myself through the words I use to describe my feelings.
Maybe you feel the same.
I've always been a writer - keeping diaries and journals full of thoughts and poetry.
I dual-majored in Civil Engineering and English.
I have coached over 100 authors for a publishing company, and
been published in 12 Amazon #1 bestselling books. See BOOKS page.
Now I want to share my love of words and story-crafting in a seven-week course
designed to dust off your word-smithing skills and
lubricate the wheels in your wernicke
(the part of your brain that commands speech).
This class is designed for people who want to become better writers and storytellers.
Grammar can be handled with AI programs, but you have a compelling viewpoint
created from years of living. Your voice is unique. Give it wings.

Seven weeks, online, recorded and shared
Registration is transferable, but not refundable.
