Don’t Wait for the Muse ($49 Value)

The Teacher
Gabriela Pereira is an author, speaker, and entrepreneur who wants to challenge the status quo of higher education.
Specializing in a self-guided approach to learning, she is the instigator and founder of DIY MFA, the do-it-yourself alternative to a graduate degree in writing. She has made it her mission to educate writers at various stages of their careers and empower them to take an entrepreneurial path to learning and professional growth.
Drawing from her experience in various fields—books and publishing, psychology research, graphic design, and the toy industry—Gabriela’s workshops and courses challenge people to rethink the mindsets that hold them back, so they can unleash their creative brilliance.
Her high-energy teaching style and quirky humor offset her content-rich, nuts and bolts presentations. An entrepreneurial version of Mary Poppins, she uses fun, playful lectures to engage and captivate her audience, all the while discussing complex concepts or technical elements of the writing craft.Gabriela has written articles on the craft and business of writing for Writer’s Digest and The Writer. She and DIY MFA have also been featured by Forbes, Entrepreneur, The Write Life, Electric Literature and BookRiot. Her book DIY MFA: Write with Focus, Read with Purpose, Build Your Community (Writer’s Digest Books) has been called “a real writer’s classroom in a single book.”
The Testimonials
