The Black Quill Mastermind:
Behind the Pen with Dr. Reaux Simmons
Welcome to the unfiltered side of the pen.
This isn’t a polished “masterclass” — it’s the real writer’s space, where truth trumps trends and clarity is queen. I created this space to say what often gets left out of writing advice: how lonely it feels, how much you doubt yourself, and how wildly important your voice is anyway.
If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re “good enough” to write a book, publish your story, or claim your author identity…
You’re in the right place. And you’re not alone.
Who Is This Mastermind For?
🔹 Black indie authors ready to take their writing seriously—whether it’s your first book or your fifth.
🔹 Writers who are stuck—from idea overload to fear of being seen or simply not knowing where to begin.
🔹 Self-published authors who want guidance beyond just formatting and uploading—especially on voice, visibility, and value.
🔹 Creative minds with a message—if you’ve got a story, experience, or wisdom the world needs, but no clear roadmap to publish it.
🔹 Authors who write across genres—memoir, fiction, nonfiction, poetry, sensual, spiritual… we welcome it all.
🔹 Writers who don’t feel “seen” in traditional writing spaces and want culturally aware, affirming coaching.
🔹 Perfectionists and procrastinators tired of sitting on a “someday book” and finally ready to get it done.
🔹 Writers who crave accountability and structure but don’t want to be micromanaged or rushed.
🔹 Multi-passionate creators juggling multiple projects, platforms, or identities who need help organizing their ideas.
🔹 Those who need mindset support as much as manuscript support—because writing a book is emotional work too.

Writer Wisdom From the Vault (Coming Soon)
You Will Get Real Feedback Versus Empty Praise!! Know the difference!
The Book Is Writing You
You think you're shaping the story. But the story is shaping you right back.
Perfection Is a Stall Tactic
Every time you wait to "get it right," your progress agrees to stand still.
The Genre of Excuses Is Out of Print
You don't need better conditions — you need better boundaries.
The Power of Being Read
Forget virality. There’s magic in just one person feeling seen by your words.
Done Is a Direction
You're not lost — you're looping. Pick a finish line and walk toward it.
Validation Fatigue Is Real
You're not tired of writing. You're tired of proving you’re worthy to write.
Self-Sabotage Wears a Friendly Face
It whispers logic, fear, or distractions — but it's still delay in disguise.
Your Book Isn’t for Everyone
What hurt you doesn't disqualify you. It deepens the truth in your voice.
Writing from a Scar, Not a Wound
What hurt you doesn't disqualify you. It deepens the truth in your voice.
See What Some Of My Happy Clients Think..
Confidence Boosting Coaching
“I never thought I could call myself an author until Coach Reaux said, ‘If it lives in your head and your heart, it belongs on the page.’ That was just the push I needed.” -R.A.M
“I didn’t just finish my book — I found my voice.”
— K. M., Nevada
“I had been carrying a book idea in my spirit for over five years, but I didn’t know how or where to begin. One Zoom call with Coach Reaux changed everything. She’s not just knowledgeable and she’s affirming, inspirational, and deeply intuitive. I came in confused and left with clarity, confidence, and clear steps to move forward. More than anything, I finally felt like I deserved to call myself a writer. That’s something I’d quietly questioned for years. This wasn’t just a coaching session it was a breakthrough.”
Monique R., Houston, TX
“I reached out because I felt stuck. I had the first few chapters done but something wasn’t clicking. Coach Reaux read through them and gave such thoughtful feedback. Not just technical suggestions, but powerful questions that opened up parts of the story I didn’t even realize were waiting to be written. She saw what I couldn’t. Her insight helped me move forward with purpose and direction. I’m not just writing now but I’m writing with a fire.”
-Ayana C., Macon, GA
“The convo with an Author that really mattered. If you are missing "something” I highly recommend having this call. She was a blessing unto my progress from notes and journaling to chapters.
— Deacon AB., GA
"After 20 Years, I’m Finally Owning the Title: Author” — Marcus J., Tucson, AZ
“I’ve had a manuscript sitting on my computer for almost two decades. What held me back wasn’t time it was fear. I didn’t feel like I had the authority to claim the title ‘author.’ Coach Reaux didn’t just coach me she affirmed me. Her review of my chapters, plus her guidance on the back cover wording, gave me exactly what I needed to move from hiding to publishing. For the first time, I believe in the story as the storyteller. That’s her magic.”
