Book Coaching for Writers who Change The World
Tehom Center Publishing’s coaching programs nurture the whole life of queer, BIPOC, women, disabled, and nonbinary writers.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Coaching is how we make publishing possible.
Books and coaching are equally weighted in our work, because the heart of our work is movement building — and books and coaching make that movement possible.
Every program is curated to the specific needs of the author, offered through a feminist and queer lens. We honor the whole life of marginalized writers by offering equitable coaching programs that equip writers to live abundant and financially sustainable lives.

"The Subversive Scribes Cohort was exactly what my writer's soul needed--in expected and unexpected ways. I am at the beginning of my project and this was the perfect time for me to participate because it gave me concrete steps and an incredibly supportive community to tease out what is emerging. I have never felt so supported while giving birth to something new! Highly, highly recommended!"
