Renee Settle

Renee was part of the first wave of latchkey kids in 1972 and lived on ranches growing up. In the spring of 2014, she was homeless and jobless, living with friends or in her car. While processing through childhood sexual abuse, she developed a method to help herself write. Then, through teaching it, realized her true calling was to help others break free from the excuses and write, too. Now she coaches clients from all over the world to write and publish their books, runs the 30 Day Writing Workout, has developed workbooks for kids and adults using the 12MAD method, and has spoken to countless groups and conferences about the true reason we make excuses not to write our stories. Fear. She shows people how to overcome both fear and excuses to write using just 12 minutes a day.
