Catherine Connors

A writer and social theory scholar whose academic work looked at storytelling as a force for shifting cultural perspectives on women and girls. Catherine was a pioneer in the first big wave of women’s online storytelling, with her award-winning blog Her Bad Mother, (named one of TIME Magazine's 25 Best Blogs in 2012). She went on to become Editor in Chief and Head of Content for The Walt Disney Company’s interactive division, overseeing its entire online portfolio and stewarding a community of leading digital storytellers. She has personally mentored dozens of practicing and aspiring writers, and stewarded the storytelling of showrunners, screenwriters, graphic novelists, memoirists, and scholars. The co-author of the critically acclaimed The Feminine Revolution, Catherine’s upcoming publications and works-in-progress include Citizen Princess: Femininity, Leadership, and the Cultural Politics of Gender, a children’s television script, and a YA novel.

"I have been using the frameworks in my professional writing as well as my personal writing. The course was a fantastic kick in the ass for me - something really did unlock for me too. Thinking of it all as “the work” - such a helpful shift in my mindset that changed my whole worldview re: my practice."

Melinda

“Ready, Set, Write! really freed me to feel that I am a storyteller. That my stories are valuable. I finished a story that has been in me for most of my adult life. Then I had the amazing experience of reading it to the class. The encouragement I got was incredible."

Carol

‟I already had 30,000 words towards a book, but this brought me so much inspiration to work better each day, reorganize, added WAY more heart, and haven't stopped writing every day since starting RSW!”

ChairmanMe Member

‟The content was really one of a kind. I felt like I couldn't find that diversity of content in one place, not in any books, or any podcast. It was just a great lens to immerse myself into.”
