Can't make it live?
Register anyway and we'll send you the replay.
You have the wisdom.
You have the stories.
Why haven't you written and published the book?
Maybe you've got a folder of writing fragments on your desktop that never add up to a real manuscript.
Maybe you've started and stopped this book three or four times already. Maybe the whole thing lives quietly in your body, a story you know you're meant to tell, that you haven't told anyone you're working on.
None of that means you're not ready.
It means you're stuck in one of three specific places, and until you know which one,
no amount of willpower, outlining, or morning pages is going to move you through it.
This class is where we will name it, and where you will start moving.
WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITH
In this live class, you'll discover the key three places where almost every unpublished author gets stuck, and you'll leave knowing which one is yours.
01
The real block
You'll learn why the block that's kept you circling for months, years or even decades probably isn't the one you've been trying to fix, and what it actually takes to move through it.
02
Somatic practice
You'll be guided through somatic practices for locating where resistance lives in your body, not just understanding it intellectually, but working with it directly, in real time.
03
The golden thread
You'll learn about how to locate a golden thread, one of the key structural threads that turns a pile of true stories into an actual book, with examples from published memoir and hybrid nonfiction so you can see exactly how it works.
And you'll understand why solo effort so often fails here,
not because you lack discipline,
but because of what your nervous system actually needs to sustain the exposure of writing something true.
WHO THIS IS FOR
This class is for depth-centered coaches, master healers, therapists, doulas, consultants, and founders who have real wisdom and real material yet have not been able to turn it into a published book.
It's for you if you've been calling yourself a writer for years and are ready to start calling yourself an author.
It's for you if you have forty pages, or four hundred, that don't yet add up to anything you can hand someone.
And it's for you if you've tried to do this alone for long enough to know that alone isn't working.

FOUNDER, SOMATIC AUTHOR ·
30 YEARS MENTORING DEPTH-CENTERED WRITERS AND MYSTICS
Tanya Taylor Rubinstein has spent nearly twenty five years helping people turn their lived experience into published books,
and she has built her entire methodology on a truth most writing teachers never say out loud: writing your book was never just a craft problem. It's a somatic one, an ancestral one and an identity one.
Her own path into this work didn't look like a straight line. Twenty four years ago, Tanya was a single mother making five hundred dollars a month, freshly divorced, working as a solo performer and a writing coach. She had a vision, the words "the cancer monologues" floating over Lincoln Center, and she followed it. That vision became live performances with people living with cancer, and eventually a book, The Cancer Monologue Project, was an anthology built from her students' own stories.
That book got into O, The Oprah Magazine and onto the CBS Early Show. It brought in several hundred thousands of dollars in grants. And it proved something Tanya has spent every year since confirming again and again: that the right container, the right structure, and the right kind of support can take someone's rawest, truest material and turn it into something that moves people. She built that container for her students before she ever built it as a business, and everything she teaches now grows out of that same root.
Today, Tanya is the founder of Somatic Author, where she and her team of author-led story coaches help women, femmes, and nonbinary founders, write and publish memoir and hybrid nonfiction through a methodology that weaves somatic practice, ancestral work, and structural writing craft together. Also, she personally works with clients who are storytellers, more than writers, to speak their book aloud with her to complete their manuscript.
She is a facilitator of Family Constellations and ancestral healing work alongside her writing practice.
She believes your book is not just a professional asset. It's an act of reclamation, and she's spent her career proving that belief,
one author at a time.
Kind Words from
Students & Clients (Memoir)
“The Story Shaman...”
"Tanya Taylor Rubinstein is the Story Shaman. Let us not use this word lightly. What she does, better than anyone I’ve met,
is weave your calling, God’s purpose, and the mundane trivialities of life into a vibrant tapestry, called Story.
These stories heal, inspire and ignite in ways you never imagined. When you receive the call to be with her, listen."
— Susan C. (multi-award winning author, energy healer)
“A true gift.”
I first worked with Tanya in 2020 when she coached me to develop and write the script for my one-woman stage show. I discovered then that one of her superpowers is to gently, yet dynamically coax deep, transformative stories out of my memory and onto the page. Five years later, when I learned that Tanya offers an ancestral memoir program, my heart and soul leapt toward the opportunity.
The structure and process that she and her team have created allowed me to write my book in a space where my creativity blossomed exponentially. I also learned to better express my story, not only from a place of emotions and memory, but from how my body reacted to life experiences, which has made my writing more impactful.
During this memoir mentorship, I have written stories that I’ve not shared before with the world, which has helped me understand myself, my mother and life events in a clearer and more profound way. Writing my book within Tanya’s program has been a true gift.
— Vicki Todd, Ed. D (Memoir Artist and Storyteller )
“A quantum transformation...”
Tanya is a teacher and coach who has unlocked the code for creating a perfect environment to cultivate radical growth. I am a busy entrepreneur who came to Tanya with a story to share.
Tanya was able to cultivate my skills in a way that gave a framework and a timeframe to see this my book through from birth to creation.
As a professional coach myself, I know good coaching works, but Tanya's approach that is equal parts pragmatic and creative, supported my effort in a way that would be unmatched by someone else.
My time with Tanya has provided my work and my life a quantum transformation. If you're looking to level up in life and in your creative work, look no further.
— Hailee Bland Walsh (Writer, CEO-City Gym)
“The best investment I’ve made.”
The Somatic Writing program is one of the best investments I’ve made in my life.
Somatic Writing is masterful at creating a nourishing structure that invites me to write from the deep places I’ve longed to connect with but couldn’t access on my own. The experience has far exceeded my expectations and is pure nectar for my soul.
— Mary Suzanne Garvey (Painter & Author)
“The ancient midwife of my story...”
Tanya has been the ancient midwife of my story. She cradled me, wept with me, sang me through my grief, coaxed my words, and gently guided me to the courage to birth my voice.
She once said to me, ‘I can’t promise you safety here.’ In its place, she supported me in the ultimate radical soul liberation – the telling of my story.
— Melissa K. (Somatic practitioner, visionary, author)
You'll leave this class with something more useful than inspiration.
You'll leave knowing exactly what's been in your way,
and what to do about it.
