Unleash Your True Potential
The sad truth? Most writers never reach their full potential. And it’s not for lack of trying.
They go to conference after conference, year after year, and don’t progress. They work on craft, but aren’t sure if they’re getting anywhere. They know they need to be marketing — but how? They’re stuck in second gear going 25mph, when they should be doing 75mph on the highway.
So what’s the secret? It’s what our 70+ graduates have discovered at our live Academies and from this, the online version of the live Academy. It’s all right here for you. It’s up to you to decide if it’s time for the dream to come true.

It’s everything you need to know to find personal and professional success in this world of writing. This course isn’t like any you’ve seen before. It goes to the core of who you are, to help you write stories that resonate.
But it’s of course, much more than that.
Here’s a breakdown of what you’ll receive:

Module 1
Identity & Theme of your Life
Before you can write life changing stories, you must know who you are. Who you are at your core. What the theme of your life is, because that informs everything else you do.
How do we do it? You tell me your five favorite movies and I’ll tell you the theme of your life.

Module 2
Craft
How do you write compelling characters? Stories your readers will remember months after they finish? How do you develop a distinct writing voice?
What the the proven techniques to take your prose from good to great? That’s what the Craft module is all about.

Module 3
Marketing & Branding
Whether you love marketing or wish it would all go away, you know marketing and branding has to be a part of your plan.
During this module we explain how to discover and develop your own unique brand. Then show you how to apply it to everything you do.
(And yes, we teach you how to build a killer website as well.)

Module 4
The Business of Publishing
Agents- how do you find them and how to evaluate them. Editors- same thing! Contracts- how do they work and what to look out for. Traditional vs Indie publishing- what’s the right path for you?

Plus, goal setting, scheduling your time … all the ins and outs of the business side of the publishing journey.
