Led by Tawny Lara, author of Dry Humping: A Guide to Dating, Relating, and Hooking Up Without the Booze and The Sobriety Deck: Practical Practices for a Booze-Free Lifestyle, co-host of the Recovery Rocks podcast, and co-founder of the vinegar-based botanical beverage, (parentheses).
This class helps writers revisit 2025 New Year's Resolutions, setting your writing goals up for success in the rest of 2025. You'll identify specific writing/editing/revision goals and learn actionable steps to accomplish them throughout the year. Whether you're working on something big like a book proposal or trying to find your voice as a writer, Resolution Revamp: Revisit Your 2025 Writing Goals is the course for you.
Participants will emerge from this seminar with clear, written instructions on identifying and accomplishing their 2025 writing goals—plus tangible tips on creating writing rituals that you’ll actually look forward to.
Tawny Lara shares from personal experience as an author, co-founder of a drink brand, and tired Millennial with a business degree. She’ll share how her past obsession with goal setting didn’t work and how setting realistic, controllable goals improved her writing (and her sanity!)
SEMINAR TAKEAWAYS:
- Identify/Revisit Your Writing Goals: It's tough to accomplish writing goals if you don’t know what your goals are. Tawny will guide you through a series of writing exercises designed to help you both identify your writing goals and create a path toward achieving them. This is also a great time to revisit your New Year's Resolutions, setting your writing goals up for success in the rest of 2025.
- Get Specific: Whether you’re working on a book proposal or trying to create a writing routine, Tawny will help you get specific and strategic with your goal setting.
- Take Control: Accomplishing big goals is all about taking small actions. Tawny will help you break your writing goals down into actionable items by identifying what’s in your control vs what’s out of your control.
- 15 Minute Q&A: Ask Tawny anything about publishing, DIY publicity, entrepreneurship, marketing, professional goals and more.

- Want to feel more empowered as a writer.

TESTIMONIALS:
“When it comes to non-fiction, a big part of an agent’s job is wrangling a book proposal together with their author. Digging into the why of the project, discussing platform, and the like. It only benefits you to be more prepared. The more you have in there, the better. When Tawny’s proposal arrived in my agent inbox and I opened it, it was like that scene in Pulp Fiction when they open the briefcase and all golden light shines out. It was perfect. And I called her the same day asking to work on the project. You’ll learn a lot from her, absolutely” -Eric Smith, author & Tawny’s agent
“The publishing world is a minefield, and Tawny is a Bloodhound. Over the past decade, she's learned how to navigate this clusterfuck of this industry, cutting through the BS, so you can actually get published and your voice heard.” -Zachary Zane, Author of Boyslut, A Memoir and Manifesto
“Tawny is such an excellent resource for someone navigating publishing and proposals for the first time. I am a DIY-type who usually just uses Google to teach me everything, but having Tawny's help saved me weeks if not months of research and helped me feel extremely clear and prepared as I began the process. Very grateful for her expertise!” -Mariana Louis, archetypal tarotist
"Tawny Lara's class on writing non-fiction book proposals is a lighthouse for anyone eager to explore mental health topics with depth and empathy.

“Tawny is not only an experienced journalist and writer, but she’s also a marketing wiz who can bring that extra special sauce to your book proposal. If you want to actually sell your book, there’s no one else that I’d rely on to teach me the 101.” - Irina Gonzalez, editor, journalist, and author of the Raising Gen Alpha newsletter
"Tawny is a master when it comes to marketing yourself as a writer. She will help you focus your vision and tap into insider knowledge of the publishing world." -Gemma Hartley, author of Fed Up: Emotional Labor, Women, and the Way Forward
“Tawny will help you sell your book proposal. She knows the game, and she will teach you how to play it.” -Paulina Pinsky, co-author of It Doesn’t Have to be Awkward
"Tawny, I wanted to take a moment to thank you for what was a chock-full-of-info book proposal seminar yesterday. I am so glad I came; it was worth my time in all respects! Thank you for being so generous and forthcoming and giving us so much knowledge about the book proposal process in such a clear and seamless way. I feel like every minute had something valuable to offer. My kind of seminar!" -former student
