We are Novel Dreamers

and Novel Dreamers write novels.

Someday is today!

Hi I'm Cecilia,

I’m a Novel Navigator.

I’m a science fiction author, ‘The Alien Eve’, and have poetry and short stories in two anthologies.

For over a decade, I’ve facilitated and supported writers individually, and in creative and novel writing groups.

I help Novel Dreamers write their novels and avoid
the FECC-ing iWARs*
(*Female Expected Conformance Culture MEETS the Impossible Writing Achievement Regulations)

I help you navigate away from socio-cultural conditionings of self-doubt and hesitation and towards your wise and wild self and your novel writing journey.

For Novel Dreamers. For your novel.

I believe ...

you are a novel dreamer and imaginer,
you have a voice that needs to be heard,
this is your wild and wise-self expressed,
you are a creative being,
and novel writing becomes a part of your life.

Here's what I teach:

This is my methodology.

It’s called your Whole Novel Life.

It was created out of my knowledge of novel writing and combines novel writing craft, a feminist socio-cultural analysis, women-centred self-care needs, and my lived reality while a writer.

It helps us to write, to reclaim who we are and recognize that our whole life experience helps us write our novels.

This is how you write your novel.

Start your Whole Novel Life.
