What other writers are saying...
“
The workshops are packed full of great information, tips, and realistic advice from people with lots of experience. As a new writer, this was invaluable to me.

“
I took a similar course from a big fancy literary agency that cost twice what a full month costs here, and this course (on querying) was so much more valuable.

What I've loved most since joining are all the connections we've been making in the chat, workshops, and Wednesday meetups. No matter how different our writing, we are going through very similar challenges.

BEFORE YOU JOIN
Honest answers to what you're probably wondering
“I barely have time to write, let alone take courses.”
Everything is on-demand and self-paced, and the live sessions are short, focused, and recorded. This is for writers who are genuinely interested in their progress.
“Will this work for my genre / where I'm at?”
Whether you're outlining your first chapter or querying agents, our content and coaches meet you where you are. Our members write fantasy, literary fiction, memoir, romance, and everything between.
“What if it's not for me?”
Then you cancel, anytime. No lock-in, no contract, no awkward phone call. At $33/month, it's less than most writers spend on craft books they never finish reading.
