“Write hard and clear about what hurts”
Ernest Hemmingway

This course is phenomenal.
It’s a lifetime of writing and publishing experience rolled into four easy sessions.
I love that the videos aren’t really long, but they are so motivating, and give you practical writing tips to actually go away and implement straight away.
It’s really inspired me to actually write, instead of just thinking about writing!!

If you’ve ever wanted to take your writing mentor home with you, here’s your chance. Amanda has gathered the collective wisdom of years of writing and synthesised it into this course.
It’s not too heavy– it’s not too light–it’s just right!
It’s just right if you need a framework to build your next piece of writing around. Her five-step process is gold if you write blogs or need to write for a speaking engagement.
If you take the five-step process and develop it further, you’ll find it’s a great framework for outlining your book idea.
The final lesson is a gift if you’ve struggled to find your writing rhythm. Amanda shares how she navigates finding time to write in the midst of a busy life. Why not try out the 30-Day challenge and get some writing done?

Write Hard. Amanda’s course for writers offers decades of wisdom distilled into jewels of wisdom. Each session builds effortlessly on each other, but what I liked most about the experience was the wholistic approach the course took. If writing was as easy as just following a process than all of us would just write effortlessly. What the Write Hard course offers is the understanding and tools we need to work through our own “hard” stuff. By leaning into the hard parts of our story we are able to find the flow that was being blocked. I highly recommend the Write Hard course to anyone who is ready to get real with their own writing and start the journey of embracing their own voice.

The Write Hard Online Workshop has helped me immensely with how I approach writing blogs and social media captions for my e-commerce store.

What I love so much about Amanda is that she is so authentic and real with how she presents information. This is her ‘zone of genius’ and she shares it so well in this course.
The videos are concise and powerful. The worksheets and writing prompts have intentional and are targeted to help those who purchase this course.
I’m so grateful for this course, as I struggle often with knowing how to communicate a good story. Having an upcoming large speaking event, this course is helping me to really work through the blocks I have around story telling so that I can deliver a message which my audience will connect with. This will start with writing it all out — using the tools here in this course.

By no means I would call myself a writer but we all have a story to share, a point we wouldn’t mind getting across to others. Being a new small business owner in the catering world I am trying to capture people’s interest by not only a few snap shots of my creative pursuit by sharing my why, my what, backed up by my how and so forth. Amanda’s course can be used to shift your perspective, approach your small pieces of writing with a purpose to engage and communicate effectively using a scaffold to get the point across in a smart and affective way.

“Write hard and clear about what hurts”
With the Write Hard course Amanda has taken this quote from Ernest Hemingway and built a great workshop with practical tools.
She starts with unpacking the thoughts that block our writing, then she has given us a creative meditation to help us get unstuck when it’s hard. Finally she gives really practical steps to help with clarity in our writing and strategies to find a great writing rhythm.
I also love the pace of the course as the short segments were packed full of clear direct teaching. This means instead of watching hours of teaching, I can now actually go away and apply what I have learned to my writing!

Amanda truly understands a writer’s heart and soul. She accurately identifies the vulnerability hot spots most creatives share and in her “Messages We Tell Ourselves” she literally read my mail!
Thankfully, Amanda doesn’t leave us wallowing in our perceived inadequacy, but instead she offers clever ways (including her Creative Meditation which shifted me from feeling rather flat to miraculously full of energy) to move us forward into new ways of thinking about ourselves and our work.
If writing was a science Amanda has devised an ingenious algorithm for constructing stories that quickly connect with and impact her readers, and she generously shares this in her “Five Stages for a Great Story” lesson.
As a serial procrastinator, I found the tips in the final lesson “30 Days Write Hard “ invaluable and by employing them into my life, I’ve created a new pathway for committing my thoughts to paper and for writing hard.

The ‘Write Hard online workshop’ came to me at a time when i felt like writing was HARD ! I had an article to write and I felt stuck or as I put it ‘creatively constipated ‘ What I discovered was that my narritive was the stuck place … I replaced every limiting narritive with a more empowering one and most importantly I felt I needed to let go about WHO I was writing for , be brave and write hard from my heart ! An absolute breakthrough course … Amanda is a gifted writer and a writers mentor ! What a gift you are ….!
Amanda Viviers –
Thank you so much for your feedback Kelly-Anne so grateful for your time and encouragement. Cant wait to read your book one day.

This course is like having your own personal encourager helping you to connect with your creative authentic self.
While the course is focussed on supporting & motivating people to write whether it be a blog, journal or book I think the learning is equally useful for any type of creative endeavour.
It is both big picture and offers you practical steps to action your vision. It is relevant for both beginners, those who might be stuck and those looking to embark on their next project.
It is a course that I will go back to each time I need just an extra bit of encouragement to keep going!
Amanda Viviers –
Thank you so much for your review Kiri, I’m so grateful for your feedback.
Susy Parker –
Thank you beautiful Amanda for this incredible online workshop! I took so much from this. I’ve set myself a target to write 6000 words each week. However, I won’t be unkind myself if I don’t always hit this number. I will love and honour myself through this process but I’m shooting for the stars!! Thank you for the guidance, tools, tips and support. Forever my teacher. Thank you for you Amanda xxx
Amanda Viviers –
Thankyou so much. My goal is 2000 per day at the moment. I will be thinking and praying for you. XXOO

Write Hard is jam packed with wisdom and knowledge yet easily understood due to Amanda’s communication style. She explains concepts clearly and knows what she is talking about. I found the meditation really helpful, and for someone like me who can hardly close their eyes at the best of times, it worked well and kept my attention in a non-demanding way. The third session was super practical and overall I found it encouraging and just-right challenging.

I came to the ‘Write Hard’ course when my writing was in a journal, in a private space, and quite stuck there. I was writing as a way of processing but I was also writing in a way that felt vibrant with discovery while I was travelling in new places, it was a real mix.
Amanda’s course – and Amanda as a person – gave my writing direction. It offers such a transforming starting-point to realise and accept that there are blocks before even beginning to write. Amanda’s guidance helped me discover a real flow, new perspectives and actually surprises in grappling with the ‘why’ of writing. It allowed me to feel closer to what I was writing. This helped me focus less on the expectations of beginning, and be more ‘in’ the actual process of writing. For somebody with high standards this was really helpful. The course is so refreshingly centred on being real – about sharing personal stories and writing from an inspired place because of this authenticity. Amanda helped me understand my writing in a bigger picture.
Amanda – thank you for how generous you are, for your real-ness and clarity in the way you communicate. You’re an incredibly inspiring person to have listened to and met. ?

Amanda’s gentle, conversational style creates a coffee-chat feel on this forum for learning about writing. Rather than just talking about the practicalities of writing, Amanda teaches us how to empower ourselves to write. The sky’s the limit!
Tina –
Amanda! Thank You! After finding myself in a stuck place I really needed a shot of inspiration and direction. I have really taken onboard the need to create a scaffold (hey for my whole life!). After this concise and specific course I feel like I’m on track to finding direction for my creativity.
