Want to write a novel or memoir but feel stuck? Whether it’s finding the time, building your story, or silencing your inner critic, you’re not alone—and I can help.

Maybe you don't know how to choose your story, structure your plot or create compelling characters… or maybe you just don’t know how to fit writing into your busy life. But what if you only needed 10 - 30 minutes a day?

SIGN UP TO GET STARTED AND FINISH THAT BOOK!

It’s a myth that writing has to be slow and difficult.

Are you ready to discover how easy and thrilling it can be to write a novel or memoir that truly reflects your unique voice—and maybe even attracts a traditional publisher?

Writing a novel or memoir isn’t just about storytelling—it’s about creating something unforgettable.

Whether you’re crafting a novel that keeps readers turning the pages or a memoir that captures the truth of your experiences, this is how you reach readers’ hearts and leave a lasting impression.

But let’s face it: it can feel overwhelming.

How do you structure your story to make it compelling? How do you make time to write, stay consistent, and silence that inner critic?

And how do you navigate using AI as a tool without losing the authenticity of your voice?

Even if you’ve struggled before or feel unsure about where to start, this program breaks it all down into simple, achievable steps.

The truth is, there IS a step-by-step process that combines classic writing instruction with cutting-edge AI tools to support you every step of the way.

And I’ll teach you that process inside my brand-new membership program, Write Your Book Faster (in Your Authentic Voice) with AI.

READY TO START?

Hi, I’m Tessa Smith McGovern.

I’m an award-winning author, writing coach, and MFA instructor with 27 years of experience helping writers like you tell their stories. My work has been traditionally and independently published, and I’ve taught writing at WI Sarah Lawrence College, NY, since 2011.

I know what it takes to write a novel or memoir that readers love—and how to stand out in a world where AI is changing everything.

This membership program is the culmination of everything I’ve learned, combining the rigor of MFA-level instruction with the practical speed that busy writers need. You’ll get personalized guidance, actionable steps, and access to AI tools that enhance (but not replace) your unique voice.

 

 

 

 

 

I promise you, even if you've tried and failed before, it's not too late to turn everything around.

Imagine what's possible...

  •   Let go of self-doubt and discover your unique voice—AI will assist, but YOU are the heart of the story.
  •   Break free from perfectionism and finally finish your book faster.
  •   Create an engaging, upmarket novel or memoir that appeals to traditional publishers.
  • Feel the joy and fulfillment of writing authentically and consistently.

The hard truth is this: Sometimes, even though you yearn to write your book, life’s just too busy and you haven’t got time. 

At other times, you might scribble a few ideas down on paper - or you even start to write - but then things blow up at work or the cat gets ill or your family needs you and those great ideas - suffocated by inattention and lack of time - evaporate.

And it can be hard to work on a book when you don’t know if your idea will work in the first place.

How do you even get started?

So days turn into weeks and still you haven’t written the book. Before you realize it, that pressing, once-vital idea evaporates into thin air.

The book that can establish your artistic legacy never sees the light of day while other authors continue to write and publish.

How do they do it?

They have a process.

Imagine if you had a process too...

Your words will flow and you’ll never lose another idea to the ether again.

Your unique voice is your artistic fingerprint. Imagine your book being cherished by readers long after it's written—your legacy, captured on the page in words.

And after 30 years of writing and 27 years of teaching, I've discovered the #1 most effective way to get your book written.

Even if you:

Doubt your ability to write a powerful story or...

You've started and abandoned a book before or...

Even if you’ve never even begun to capture your ideas on paper…

It's not too late to start, I promise!

And AI can help you...

How AI Can Enhance Your Creativity (Without Taking Over)

AI is a powerful tool that can complement your creativity, making the writing process smoother, faster, and more inspiring. Here’s how it can help you and I'll share the prompts for each:

  • Break Through Writer’s Block: Get fresh prompts and ideas when you feel stuck, so you never lose momentum.
  • Brainstorm and Explore New Directions: Use AI to generate plot twists, character backstories, or alternative endings, fueling your imagination without dictating the story.
  • Refine and Polish Your Prose: Quickly clean up grammar, tighten sentences, and enhance clarity, letting you focus on storytelling.
  • Save Time on Repetitive Tasks: Automate technical or time-consuming tasks like formatting or initial edits, so you can spend more time crafting your vision.
  • Receive instant, tailored feedback on your drafts using AI: If you give the right prompt, AI will give you spot-on feedback in seconds.—no need to search for beta readers.
  • Stay Inspired and in Control: Use AI as a collaborative tool that supports your ideas and keeps your authentic voice at the heart of your work.

With the right guidance, AI becomes your creative partner, amplifying your unique voice while leaving the heart and soul of the story in your hands. Let me show you how to make it work for you!

Don’t let another year go by wishing you’d started. Join today and make your book a reality.

Imagine if you could let go of self-doubt and get your ideas out of your head and onto the page?

​Break the endless pattern of thinking about the story your Soul is dreaming of manifesting and wishing you could write it and instead, easily get it written.

​Stop looking at other people’s books and wishing you'd written your own and let me help you get your book written!

​Go to bed each night feeling satisfied because you’ve shown up for - and tended to - your Soul's message.

Feel excited about the next day’s creativity!

Enjoy the deep sense of accomplishment that comes from finishing your book in a way that scratches the deepest itch inside you, in a way that delights and satisfies you.

​Feel the joy of capturing your message so you can contribute your part to the betterment of the world.

 Become the author you long to be...

...all just by following the simple steps inside.

What if you could start seeing results in 10-30 minutes a day?

Yes, really.

In 10-30 minutes a day you can get a solid first draft of your book written. You’ll see steady progress toward completing your book at your own pace.

We all know people who have goals to write a book but year after year nothing changes. They’re still stuck in the same old rut. You don’t want that.

None of us is immortal. We only have a limited time on this earth to create something meaningful. But if we don’t take action, it’ll never happen.

This membership will lead you easily, step by step, through the process.

Very often, what gets in the way is the story in our head that says, "I have to write a perfect book/sentence."

But it’s a trap!

A trap we create for ourselves...it's self-sabotage, pure and simple.

OVERCOME PERFECTIONISM

I'll show you how to let go of the perfectionism that stops you from moving forward.

Why This Membership Works:

I’ve been where you are—juggling the demands of life while trying to create something meaningful. I’ve faced perfectionism and self-doubt, and I know how to overcome them. This program is built to help you:

  •   Write a finished manuscript faster without endless revisions.
  •   Create authentic, publishable prose that showcases your voice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Customer Questions?

Yes! Remember that everyone can tell a story. We do it from the time we are tiny children. This program will teach you how to write a novel (or a memoir that reads as compellingly as fiction) and how to write a powerful book. We all have a book in us, so even if you’ve never written one before, you can learn how to do it. 

Yes. It will make your book even more effective and deeply rewarding to write! 

No. This is a process that provides a structure for channeling your unique story. While there are no unique plots, the mode of expression will be unique to you. 

Not at all! I teach within Authors Guild guidelines, so your book remains fully authentic and eligible for publication.

Absolutely not. With the right guidance, AI enhances your creativity while leaving your voice and vision at the center of your story.

It's as simple as having a conversation with a friend and after one live session (or watching a replay of a live session if you don't want to wait), you'll be able to chat with AI like a pro.. 

That’s entirely up to you, but be aware that traditionally published books must be primarily human-written.

This course is still for you! The AI lessons are optional, so you can skip them and focus on MFA-level craft.

Replays are available, so you’ll never miss out on key insights.

Don’t wait another day.

Join Write Your Novel or Memoir Faster (in Your Authentic Voice) With AI and take the first step toward becoming the author you’ve always longed to be.

A blueprint to access your inner artist & write the book of your Soul that will share your unique message, start building your author brand, and create your artistic legacy.
