Group coaching sessions are highly interactive, allowing you face-time with industry experts to discuss real world applications of the topic they are speaking to, and to observe your peers being coached on the questions you never thought to ask.
For an optimal learning experience, watch the coaches' self-paced courses before joining the group calls. These are available with a StoryCraft subscription or as a standalone product.

So not only do you have to write... but you have to promote yourself on socials?! Talk through how to do this without burning out with marketing expert Saleema Ishq while looking at real examples.
They aren't called the "query trenches" for nothing. Learn from agent Jessica Berg what's working and what's not in your own query and those of your peers so you can land an agent.
Upcoming Workshops
StoryCraft Workshops are special presentations by guest speakers that will have a combination of teaching and Q&A.
Immerse Readers in Your Work
Of course we know that setting and world-building is important, but how do you fully immerse your audience in your stories and novels? We'll talk about setting, sensory details, authority, the big picture, and specific details. Whether you're a maximalist or a minimalist, writing speculative fiction, literary fiction, or somewhere under the mystery umbrella, if you can hypnotize your readers and cast a spell in your storytelling, they'll never want to put your writing down.
Richard Thomas is the award-winning author of four novellas, four short story collections, 180 stories in print, and the editor of five anthologies. He has been nominated for the Bram Stoker (twice), Shirley Jackson, Thriller, and Audie awards.
