✨Welcome. I’m so happy you’re here!
Welcome to Dear Whole Writer, the companion letter to The Whole Writer podcast — a place where we explore what it means to show up as a writer — not just a better writer, a more productive writer, or a published writer, but a whole one. Someone who's grounded in their voice, in their community, in their creative path, even when the world tells them to hustle, compare, or conform.
Each week we'll explore the terrain of writing life with honesty, warmth, and practical wisdom, creating space for you to write from a place of wholeness rather than depletion.
Whether you're drafting your first manuscript or publishing your fifth book, you'll find conversation and companionship for the journey here. So settle in, bring your questions and your curiosity, and let's discover what it means to write and live with authenticity and purpose.
Who in the heck am I?
Nicole Meier here, and after a decade in the writing world, with four published novels and a book coaching certification under my belt, I'm all about helping fiction writers like you to get clear on your big story idea, complete your novel manuscript, and follow your publishing dreams.
