Upcoming Group Coaching
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.

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.
