Welcome to Rebel Writers
Where words become revolution, healing, and home.
Rebel Writers is not your average writing community.
This is a sanctuary for truth-tellers, soul-speakers, and change-makers who feel the tug to write, even if they don't yet call themselves writers.
You belong here if:
You're socially conscious and spiritually curious.
You’ve got things to say, but don’t always know where to say them.
You crave community but hate performative “networking.”
You want to process and heal, not just publish and hustle.
You desire change in your life, you are pivoting, or just trying to feel like you again.
You want to explore publishing your words, just not in a whole a** book (yet!) -->
Your Path to Publication:
The Unveiling the Secrets Series
This is the exclusive home for our #1 Best Seller collaborative book series, Unveiling the Secrets. While some Rebels write purely for themselves, those who feel the call to be a published author use this community as their "writer’s room." When you join Rebel Writers, you gain the immediate eligibility to contribute to our upcoming volumes. We guide you from "shitty first draft" to a polished, professional "chapter" over the course of roughly 8-10 months.
Here's how we do it: We guide you through several opportunities a month to pause, connect, write, and share among a group of inclusive, doing-the-work-beside-you humans. We also give you professional feedback on your words throughout the process. We will host calls via Zoom, and a schedule of calls will be shared before the next month. We will adjust these calls to meet the needs of the community, but here is how we will begin...
🌀 Intentional Connection & Writing Time
A sacred pause. A guided moment. A place to root in your values, write from your body, and connect with kindreds. These are on the first Monday at 7pm ET and third Sunday at 10am ET.
🖋️ Twice-Monthly Writing Days
No prompts. No pressure. Just space, support, and silence to write whatever needs to be written—grief, rage, hope, poetry, strategy, or your next draft. These will be on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday from 10:30am-12:30pm ET, drop in late, leave early, stay the whole time, or create your own writing circle time.
📚 Simple Publishing Opportunities
Want to share your words in a bigger way? As soon as you join Rebel Writers, you are eligible to raise your hand to receive support in fleshing out some writing to contribute and publish in our collaborative book series, Unveiling the Secrets, with coaching and feedback from our editors. We will also support you in other ways you might want to share your words (local newspaper, email to "that" friend, social media, a rant poem, your future solo book, etc.).
🎁 Surprises + Delights
We are building this beautiful community as we go, and we are open to what may show up. Think: rebel writing camp at the lake, publishing grants, sacred merch, early access to events, and more. We are excited to see how this group and opportunities will emerge.
Our Next Unveiling Book Themes:
"Reclaiming our Body" &
"Unexpected Caretaker"
Reclaiming Our Body
There is a specific kind of silence we are taught to keep about our skin, our bellies, our aging, and our healing. We’ve been told our bodies are "too much," "not enough," or something that needs to be "fixed" to be viable. The Rebel Writers at Synergy Publishing Group are calling "B.S."
We are gearing up for our next collaborative book in the Unveiling the Secrets series, and we’re looking for the storytellers, the healers, and the cycle-breakers who are ready to put their "body stories" into print. This isn't about "body positivity" fluff. This is about somatic justice.
It’s about:
✨ The stories our cells remember.
✨ The magic of transformation and reclamation.
✨ The "secrets" we were told to hide that are actually our medicine.
Unexpected Caretaker
Many women have a tendency to nurture, or at least we are told to. And, some of us find this nurturing comes naturally and some of us don't. Many women of a name-we-shall-not-reveal may find themselves in a unexpected caretaking "sandwich generation," where you are still tending to younger kiddos while also taking care of aging parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, etc.
We are gearing up for our next collaborative book in the Unveiling the Secrets series, and we’re looking for the storytellers, the healers, and the cycle-breakers who are ready to put their "unexpected caretaker stories" into print. This isn't about putting glitter on sh*t, but rather honoring the complex both/and of what a privilege it can be to support and care for others while also potentially losing our sense of self.
It’s about:
✨ The stories of that phone call that changed everything.
✨ The magic of witnessing both creating life and watching it end.
✨ The journey of "what now" and "who am I" as caretaking roles shift.
Writing a whole book alone is daunting. Writing one chapter in a powerhouse collective? That’s where the revolution happens. By joining Rebel Writers today, you are securing your spot in this community and one (or both) of these books.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Do I have to share my writing?
A: Nope. Come write in silence, only share if and when you feel ready.
Q: Is this for me if I’m not a “real” writer?
A: Absolutely. We believe we all have experiences and messages that writing can help us process, clarify, even heal from. If you feel the pull to use writing as a tool for transformation, this space is for you.
Q: Can I cancel anytime?
A: Yes, if you are paying month-to-month and after 30 days you can cancel anytime, though we think you’ll want to stay! If raised your hand to publish as a collaborative author with Synergy Publishing Group, you forfeit your spot upon canceling. Your monthly investment goes towards support for writing, polishing, and being published as a contributing author.
Q: What if I don't want to publish anything?
A: Totally fine. Publishing is available, but never required. Some folks will want to get their words out in a book or blog post. Others may write for themselves, for healing, or for clarity. Both are powerful. This is about your relationship with your words.
Q: What if I can't make all the live session?
A: All good. Rebel Writers is built to support intentional connection to yourself, your words, and others... not add stress. Even one live writing session a month can shift your energy.
Q: By the way, who is running this writing community?
A: Hi! I'm Shana, founding partner of Synergy Publishing Group and general lover of words. You'll also meet Cindy, managing partner and word goddess of Synergy Publishing Group, and other members of our team. Get to know us more here.
Calling All Rebels With Words in Their Bones...
You're not here to write for likes or trends. You're here because your words are medicine. Because you've lived through hard things. Because the world feels heavy and writing is your way to move through it, make sense of it, and maybe even make a difference & support
others by sharing those words one day.
We Love Seeing Our Writers Celebrate!
I can hardly believe it myself but the (first) BOOK is here my friends!!! What an amazing journey filled with honesty, self-revelation and pure joy writing with these amazing women. Unveiling the Secrets is now available for purchase on Amazon or you can grab a copy from me soon.
This is where it all started for me in my writing process, an now I've been published in two collaborative books AND have released my own, Stories from the Schoolhouse. I know you are ready to write too!
I experienced a community of women who wrote together, laughed together, and supported each other. I have been in a couple of writing groups, but they weren't even in the same universe as this group of women writers!
Remember, this isn't just a writing community. It's a movement.
Because healing words + collective fire = change.
Because we write so we don’t forget who we are.
Let’s rise, rebel, and write.
BONUS! When you join Rebel Writers before 11:59pm Friday June 6,
you'll receive the "Beyond the Book" bootcamp with Shana
at no additional cost!
