This class helps writers identify specific writing goals and provides actionable steps to actually accomplishing them in the new year. Whether you’re working on something big, like a book proposal, or trying to find your voice as a writer, Set and Slay Your 2026 Writing Goals is the course for you.

Participants will emerge from this seminar with clear, written instructions on how to identify and accomplish their 2026 writing goals—plus tangible tips on how to use the rest of December to set yourself (and your writing!) up for success.

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 2026.
• 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.
