✑ A way not only to learn but to internalize the elements of storytelling
✑ Grow your knowledge and skillset so you can write a compelling book
✑ Guided lessons that can be tackled at your own pace
✑ A strategy to turn your dream of writing and publishing a book into a reality
That’s exactly why I decided to take what I learned during all the difficult years of gaining the knowledge about the 'ins' and 'outs' of the publishing industry and PAY IT FORWARD.
Once I understood what makes a compelling book— after I figured out how to navigate through traditional and indie publishing — I began teaching people what I've learned in my nearly two decades as a writer.
It's true what they say:
A WISH is just a GOAL without a PLAN.
And to write a book, you NEED A PLAN.
This is where I can help...
...because I’ve taught hundreds of aspiring writers how to turn their writing wishes into goals, and I've guided them through the process of writing their books.
I'm a #1 Amazon and national bestselling author, writing instructor & coach, podcaster, and book cover designer.
My writing career started in 2008 when my first series was published by St. Martin's Press. Since then, I have been published traditionally with Thomas Dunne Books at SMP, NAL/Penquin Random House, and Kensington.
I'm also indie-published.
So, I've done it all!
I had a dream of writing a book and set out to learn everything I could about how to craft a story. 35 books later, I am sharing my knowledge through WriterSpark Academy.
I built WriterSpark Academy as a way to PAY IT FORWARD. I have taken what I've learned in almost two decades in the publishing industry, distilling that knowledge and sharing it through the WriterSpark Academy website and here through my Master Classes.
