Common Challenges for Writer’s
Lack of Coaching, Resources, and Structure:
The fastest way to improve your skills in any field is to learn from someone who is already doing it! Our program boasts quality coaching, resources, and a community that allows you to focus on what you need to succeed! Imagine having access step by step guides, templates, and checklists that answers every question you have to complete your writing project!
Understanding everything that goes into writing a great story can be overwhelming. Many writers quit before they ever truly start! How do we set ourselves up for success? Our academy’s is designed to work for the writers, breaking the barriers and removing the burdens brought on by not having what you need to succeed!
Writer's Block:
Writer's block is generally frustrating periods of creative stagnation. It’s the most common problem and it keeps us from finishing our work! But here’s one of my simple secrets, writer’s block doesn’t exist. Ask me to talk about that later…
Discipline:
How do you complete a 70k word story in 90 days? A writing routine can be the developmental solution you need to finish your manuscripts in record time! There are dozens of writing routines online but which one is right for you? Let's find one that works for you, then tweak that routine to fit your life and circumstances.
Accountability Partners:
Writing shouldn’t be a solitary endeavor. Joining the right writing community can be the difference between an enjoyable journey and a short lived writing nightmare! Ever needed beta readers?

Editing & Publishing:
Should you go the traditional or independent route? What are the pros and cons? What should you be doing regardless of the route you choose? How do I find a publisher or an agent? When should you hire an editor? Is vanity publishing really a scam? Will A.I. help or hurt my writing? Which path should you take to get to your goal? So many questions, we’ve got answers!
