The Fifth Brain Collective Gets You Writing!

Not everyone wants to write, but you do. A story. An essay, an article, a poem, maybe a book. 80% of people want to write a book. Maybe you are one of them. You have an idea. A memory, a place, an idea, a character. You want to start, but you aren't sure where or how. 

You’ve come to the right place.

The Fifth Brain Collective is a multifaceted creative community platform created by Frankie Rollins, offering one-on-one writing coaching, online courses, and much more!

Frankie takes people’s desires to write seriously. She believes you hold a vast wealth of experience and knowledge, and that no one else will write the story in your head unless you do.

Let’s work together to make your writing dreams come true!
