Ever wondered what an agent really does, or what the editorial process is like? Or why is takes a publisher a year or two to put out a book? In this class, I dissect the different parts of publishing and explain why each is important.

We’ve all heard about “plotters vs. pantsers,” but what about those of us who just can’t seem to integrate any of these writing systems everyone teaches? This class instead breaks us down into “logical vs. intuitive” writers…the only class you’ll ever find for people who struggle to integrate what they’ve learned in classes!

Writing isn’t easy. If it were, everyone would be doing it. It’s hard to do well, and even harder to determine exactly what kind of “fearless” we should be as writers. But there are lessons we can learn from other undaunted creatures…about when to embrace our wild, bold natures…and when to bridle our instincts for a purpose.

As an author, I’ve worked with four different houses, and as a cover designer, I’ve taken what I’ve learned and applied it to my own business. This class is a fun behind the scenes look of the cover creation process, whether you’re going indie or working with a traditional house.

You want to write deep books, with amazing character or life-changing insights. But how do we do that? Well, we have to start by living deeply, and by reading on a new level too.

Great for beginners and intermediate writers, this class examines “The Rules” of modern fiction, why we should learn them, and when we get to chuck them out the window for the sake of our art.
