Turn your writing into a sustainable practice—and a thriving career—with expert guidance and built-in accountability
The Residency
You’re 95% more likely to finish your book and hit your writing goals with accountability. That’s not just a guess—that’s science. Whether you’re writing your first book or growing a sustainable career, inside The Residency, you’ll get the support, strategy, and mentorship to become the writer you’re meant to be.
The Residency is a creative home for writers ready to flourish
Here, you’re invited to step into a space where your creative challenges are met with support, your wild ideas are given room to grow, and your writing is nurtured every step of the way.
Whether you're pushing boundaries or refining your voice, this is where you find the tools, the community, and the drive to break free from the status quo. Get ready to dive deeper into your process, own your creative power, and walk away with the confidence to share your stories with the world.
It’s time to write that book you’ve been dreaming about.
Maybe you have always harbored the dream of writing a book, a collection of stories, a play, or a screenplay, but find yourself unsure of where to begin. Maybe you’re not sure what your voice sounds like. Or where to find inspiration.
Maybe you’re a writer weary of conforming to patriarchal, hustle culture writing standards. You’re ready to blaze your own path, and find out what works for you in this season of your writing.
This is a sanctuary carved out specifically for you—an inviting space where you can pursue your writing dreams in the company of supportive, incredible individuals.
This isn’t just another writing group. It’s a space designed to help you show up, grow, and thrive—because your words matter.
Your voice is your most powerful tool, shaped by your experiences and passions. But staying committed to your writing—and growing in your craft—can feel isolating and uncertain.
What if you didn’t have to do it alone?
Inside The Residency, you’ll find the structure, support, and community to help you write consistently, refine your work with confidence, and stay motivated alongside fellow writers who truly get it.
✦ Imagine finally building a writing routine that sticks—where daily sessions and a supportive community help you stay accountable.
✦ Imagine knowing you're not alone—surrounded by fellow writers who understand the highs and lows, ready to celebrate your wins and encourage you through challenges.
✦ Imagine pushing past doubt and creative blocks, receiving real feedback on your work, and gaining the confidence to take your writing to the next level.
You don’t have to do this alone. Find the structure, support, and encouragement you need to make real progress
What if building a consistent, confident writing practice didn’t have to feel so hard?
Maybe you’ve tried to stay motivated, but life, doubt, and distractions keep getting in the way. Maybe you feel stuck in your head, unsure if your work is good enough. Maybe you’re tired of writing alone, without the structure or support to keep going.
Inside The Residency, you’ll finally have what you need to:
☑ Silence self-doubt and embrace your voice—so you can write with confidence and purpose.
☑ Build a writing practice that sticks—one that fits your life and fuels your creativity instead of draining it.
☑ Make real progress on your projects—so your stories don’t just live in your head but resonate deeply with readers.
☑ Stay on track, even when life gets busy—with simple tools, accountability, and community support.
☑ Surround yourself with writers who get it—cheering you on, offering feedback, and helping you grow every step of the way.
☑ And so much more—because writing doesn’t have to be something you struggle through alone.
This is right for you if you’re...
✦ You’re done with the endless cycle of blog-hopping and advice threads—only to get conflicting tips that leave you more uncertain than before.
✦ You crave a structured, supportive path that helps you focus on creating, not just obsessing over technique—while still honoring your unique voice.
✦ You’re frustrated with generic writing guides that talk in broad strokes but never seem to help you bring your story to life in a way that feels authentically yours.
✦ You struggle to craft stories that truly connect—leaving readers invested from the first page to the last.
✦ You’re tired of getting lost in writing programs with little personalized support, making you feel like just another name in a crowded space.
✦ You’re ready to stop second-guessing and start growing—with the tools, feedback, and confidence to take on any story, all while surrounded by a community that actually gets you.
Imagine where your writing could be six months from now—with the right support.

“Meeting Tiffany and all the other writers has changed me and grown me in ways I could have never expected. It's the best thing I've ever done that was just for me.
I am a big believer in magic! I always have been. My time with Burgeon has been nothing short of pure magic. My life has been devoted to my family so to do something just for myself just felt selfish. I didn't realize that by doing this how much I would grow and how that would spill over into every part of my life. I've been my family's biggest cheerleader and to see them cheering me on, believing in my dreams, you can't put a price on that.”
-JANET

“I had just signed with my agent and gone on submission for the first time, and I was feeling lost about what to do next.
Building community, strengthened my novel based on feedback from the workshops (particularly the one in romantic tension was so helpful!), and I got started on my big scary revisions! I definitely was having a rough time being on submission, but the focus on mindfulness and self care helped me get through, and gave me tools to continue to use while I go through this process!
I loved the community building. I met so many authors from different genres and viewpoints, and they were all amazingly kind! I will always love our little cohort.”
-DANNY
MEET YOUR COACH
Hi, I’m Tiffany Grimes
Pronouns: she/they
Writing with authenticity and intention is the most powerful skill you can cultivate as a writer.
And while you don’t need a degree or years of experience to hone your craft, it helps to have guidance and support along the way.
Over the past decade, I’ve worked with hundreds of writers—ranging from emerging voices to seasoned authors—on everything from middle grade fantasy to adult memoir. They’ve gone on to find their creative flow, connect deeply with their readers, and build fulfilling writing lives that align with their values and goals.
Now, through The Residency, I’ve created a space designed to help you embrace your voice, elevate your craft, and build a writing life you’re proud of. Let’s help you write with clarity, confidence, and purpose—and create stories that truly resonate.
The Residency is designed to meet you where you are in your writing journey. With flexible tracks and resources, you have the freedom to curate your own path—choosing the level of engagement and support that fits your needs. Whether you're seeking inspiration, craft-focused guidance, or community connection, you can sign up for exactly what works for you, on your terms.
We understand that stepping into a new writing space can be daunting—especially when you're more comfortable working quietly in your own space. As an introvert, it can feel tempting to retreat into your shell, avoiding the vulnerability of putting your work out there. But this is a safe space to stretch your wings, find your voice, and grow as a writer without fear.
That’s why we’ve designed The Residency to be flexible, welcoming, and supportive, meeting you where you are in your creative process. Whether you're just starting out or already well into your writing journey, we’re here to nurture your growth.
Ready to step into your next chapter?
“It is truly transformative, both for your writing, and for how your writing holds space in your life. If someone is wondering if it’s worth it… it is.
My writing process now is completely different! I used to struggle with guilt, and my writing was always at the bottom of my time management. Now writing is an integral part of my life.
Working with Tiffany was and is absolutely wonderful. We built a trust I genuinely don’t have with most people in my life. Her level of give-a-damn is so encouraging, largely because she so clearly is rooting for me and my stories.”
-KEAR
No matter what you write—from short stories to romantic fantasy to books about mindfulness—we’ll create powerful writing practices that fit your life.

Only members receive access to event details and links.
Writers, this is for you if you want…
✦ Accountability that helps you reach your deadlines (without the guilt spiral).
✦ A creative system that honors neurodivergence—whether you struggle with focus, executive function, or motivation cycles.
✦ To finally finish your draft, complete revisions, and start sending your work into the world.
✦ To tackle “revise and resubmits” from literary agents with clarity and confidence.
✦ To go beyond the surface-level advice you can Google and really dig into craft.
✦ To get MFA-level learning and support—without the two-year commitment of one.
This membership is not for you if:
You’re looking for a quick fix to become an instant bestseller. There are no magic shortcuts—but there are proven ways to build consistency, confidence, and momentum.
You prefer to write in isolation and aren’t interested in a collaborative community. The Residency thrives on connection, encouragement, and mutual growth. If you’re not willing to engage respectfully or cheer others on, this space won’t be the right fit.
“Working with Tiffany is always a great decision. I always feel like she provides tangible results and I have a clear action plan for how to improve my book!
Tiffany builds a really strong community of thoughtful, friendly writers. They attract the best kind of people, and build a really wonderful space full of positivity, creativity, and motivation. So when you work with Tiffany you get their amazing talent AND the support of dozens of other writers in all different stages of their careers.
The space Tiffany makes for other writers is welcoming and accommodating. You can come as your full self to the Residency community. The space is welcoming to all folx, with an emphasis on raising up underrepresented stories. You can learn from Tiffany and other talented writers and editors in a friendly, positive environment.”
-EMILY
The support, structure, and inspiration you’ve been looking for is right here.
No more writing in isolation. No more second-guessing. Just progress, creativity, and a community that gets it.
