Cathleen Fillmore, President of Speakers Gold & Author, The Six Figure Speaker, Toronto
Hi, I'm Katie Curtin, a best-selling author, multi-disciplinary artist, social justice advocate, and book coach. I believe each of us needs all the creativity we can muster to create a more just, sustainable, and beautiful world.
At 24, I wrote my first book,Women In China, published by Pathfinder Press. Over the years, it went through three printings, was translated into French and Swedish, and even adopted for high school curriculum and used as a source by many academics and activists.
Since then, I've pursued writing in different forms, from report and copywriting to articles, blogs, newsletters, short stories, poetry, and plays, and books, including the Amazon bestseller The Happy Well-Fed Artist: How to Get Your Creative Projects Off the Ground and Into the World.
Fears, doubts, and stumbling blocks still show up, but I've learned how not to let them stop me. And I know how to help other people get through these fears and doubts too.
I love to do this work, which is why I'm offering this writing program, so you can get a quick start on creating your transformational book.
This 12-week program provides an accountability and support structure for you to write your book, while receiving expert support and feedback from me, as well as from the other writers in the group.
You will learn how to:
- Create a quality transformational book that's a real page turner.
- Set up your writer's space and rituals to foster a writing a pleasurable and productive writing environment.
- Develop habits to ensure you write regularly, no matter your schedule or what demands tear you away.
- Discover and release any blocks that hold you back from doing your best writing.

Thanks to Katie Curtin’s breakthrough coaching, I am presently the author of two books with a third one on its way. Discovering Your Heart Voice and ABC’s of Grief are both Amazon best sellers! All this because of Katie’s ability to help me identify and clear away the sources of the resistance that blocked my writing flow time and time again.
Being in her book-writing program gave me the tools and structures I needed to be both productive and clear. It also facilitated my remaining accountable throughout the process. Katie’s one-on-one coaching empowered me to rediscover purpose and clarity when I felt stuck or inadequate for the task of writing a book.
Most importantly Katie taught me how to process my feelings and arrive at a place of freedom when points of resistance would surface. Our sessions left me feeling free and focused. I am so grateful that Katie Curtin’s gifts have touched my life!

Katie, your coaching support in a group environment was fabulous. It helped me focus and stay on track with my creative process and accountable for my goals. I enjoyed our weekly check-ins as well as the alternating personal coaching, which drew on your years of training and life experience and various techniques, including Z-point clearing, which I found useful to clear old habits. This program is a great balance of group dynamics and personal attention—the best of two worlds!
