About the program

An intimate group

The world is waiting for your story!

Free your mind to create knowing you have all the support you need to bust through any uncertainty or questions as they arise.

Connect with an intimate group of aspiring authors on the same journey as you.

Why join?

You get everything you need to write from the Ignite & Write Workshop, but the truth is you may need extra support to implement the new skills you have gained and actually ‘do the do’ to write your first draft.

It is so easy to put your book into the too hard basket, or tell yourself that you will get to it later. Before you know it, decades have passed (that’s not an exaggeration, I see it all the time) and your book is still copped up inside your heart and mind.

Joining the mentorship will put you firmly on the path to not only writing your book, but doing so with ease, clarity and passion – all the key ingredients to writing a potential bestseller!

The time for excuses is over, now is the time for action.

Client testimonials

"If you are considering engaging the services of a writer, make sure it is Roxanne McCarty-O'Kane, you will be so happy that you did. I have worked with Roxy on a few projects now, she is the upmost professional who understands her client’s needs and can work to impossible deadlines with true class. Roxy’s strength is making the authors job easy and seamless. Letting them tell the story in their way, she weaves their words into a professional and polished manuscript. Roxy is a truly wonderful wordsmith and I highly recommend her services."

"From the time Millie and I sat down with you for the article interview, I knew that we were in good hands and with a journalist who possessed empathy and professionalism. Eating disorders is a delicate topic at the best of times but you totally respected our boundaries and the finished article was a true reflection of our discussions. You also went the extra mile and turned up at our ‘Main Event’ fundraiser evening to capture our daughter’s first public ownership of her own bulimia journey."

"Your article handled the reporting on the evening with professionalism and respect. It also produced a very unexpected result when the very next day (after the article was published) I received an email from Alan Parry Attorneys saying how impressed they were with the endED story and presented us with a $10,000 cheque from Sunshine Coast Community Enterprises. Thank you Roxy for your interest and support for endED and we look forward to working with you in the near future."

"I was extremely impressed when Roxanne sent me a draft copy, it was well written and constructed in a way the reader could easily understand. It is not often that someone impresses me with their capabilities in explaining in simple terms, the technical side of my product. I have no problem recommending Roxanne, she is very good at what she does and has the skills for asking the right questions and really listening to the answers, her grasp at conveying this in words is outstanding."

"Roxanne has a special talent to really bring life to words on paper so much so that I invited her to work with me as my editor for my first book ever Stories of HOPE Australia Everyday People Extraordinary Stories. Not only is she an extremely talented writer with many years experience, she is one of the kindest and most patient ladies I have met. She went above and beyond to help me turn my dream of writing a book into reality. I would highly recommend her services to anyone looking to write a book."

"My story would never have seen the light of day had it not been for Roxanne's passion and commitment. The means by which she gained access to my deepest and most vulnerable beliefs and stories enhanced my story but also the power of my book's message. Totally professional and always looking for ways to better support me, Roxanne didn't stop with just the ghostwriting; Roxanne is so much more that even her website suggest - a mentor, innovator, visionary and business leader like few others."
