​Hi, I’m Heather Jo Flores. I offer online courses, coaching, and community for ecofeminist writers and permaculture women.

​I'm the author and founder of ​Food Not Lawns, and the director of Permaculture Women's Guild.  I write books, grow seeds, teach writing and permaculture, and help women connect with their purpose and their talent by manifesting a personal and literary Heroine's Journey.

The Writing Heroines program is for women who want to write fiction, memoir, and personal essays about empowered, ecofeminist characters who challenge patriarchal oppression and don't use violence to solve their problems.

The program includes online classes, monthly group coaching, a yearlong manuscript clinic, and optional classes to help you design your daily practice, find your niche, and craft a unique, timeless heroine's journey that will not only delight your readers, but will also help make the world a better place for women.

And it starts with a pay-what-you-want online workshop!
