WHWN provides an online group coaching space for struggling fiction and nonfiction writers, looking to complete a book project of their choosing. It is imperative you understand that WHWN’s coaching program, “The Ultimate Drafting Workshop,” is meant to help writers optimize their writing practice—that is, the routines, behaviors, attitudes, mindsets, and development strategies they bring to the writing process.

 
This workshop is not meant to better the quality of the written work itself. Feedback on the quality of written work generated in the drafting process will not be given. Editorial services will not be rendered. At no point will you be asked to submit pages of your creative writing, nor should you ever attempt to submit pages of your creative writing for review.

 
Additionally, though Regan Humphrey (WHWN’s founder and chief writing coach) is a psychologist, though WHWN’s coaching programs are trauma-informed and have been developed with the intention of psychological alignment, and though writers in our coaching programs may choose to write about traumatic or otherwise psychologically sensitive subjects, WHWN is not a therapy space. 

Regan is not a personal therapist to any client in this program, and should not be approached or pressured to act as such. Regan may, as needed, engage with you about your mental health history insofar as to guide your writing practice, but discussion of these subjects will be limited to recorded videos she sends to you.

To ensure high-quality service for both you and other clients in the program, it is of the utmost importance that personal and professional boundaries in this coaching space be respected. Please understand that to avoid parallelism with clinical psychotherapy,

at no point will Regan engage with clients about their trauma or mental health histories in a live one-on-one setting, and under no circumstances should she be approached or pressured to connect in a live one-on-one setting about these subjects.

In the event that writing your novel or memoir triggers a mental health emergency, Regan should not be contacted as an emergency psychological healthcare provider. In the event that writing your novel or memoir generates emotional stimuli you need to process or unpack, Regan should not be contacted to act as a sounding board or a personal support.

While writing your novel or memoir may be a part of your personal healing journey, the purpose of WHWN is not to provide a healing space for writers and should not be treated as such.

We are committed to providing all participants with a positive experience. Thus, WHWN may, at its sole discretion, limit, suspend, or terminate your participation in any of its programs (live, recorded, social media-based or digital) without refund or forgiveness of remaining payments if: 

(A) you become disruptive, abusive, or difficult to work with;

(B) you impair the participation of our instructors or participants in our program(s);

(C) you disregard, disrespect, or otherwise disturb the personal and professional boundaries put in place to keep our instructors and participants safe.

The provision of service of the WHWN coaching program is subject to change. WHWN reserves the right to amend, alter, add to, or take away from the online training materials, group call schedule, and support provisions at any time.
