22–25 Sept · 20–23 Oct 2026

AUTHOR-FIT

Four days on the part nobody sells you: the author. Writing muscle, editing endurance, mental fitness and the health habits that decide whether you are still publishing in five years or burnt out by book four. An intensive, not a spa day. For authors who want the career, not just the launch.

Starts 3 November — runs to 3 December 2026 · every Tue & Thu

NEW LAUNCHPAD

Our flagship mentorship, rebuilt and doubled. Twice the content, twice the in-class time, plus supervised homework hours. Five weeks from zero books to a published series, with a launch and marketing plan already running by the end. Tuesdays and Thursdays. If you have been about to start for a year, this ends that.

One on One with Coral

One hour, just you and me. Bring whatever is stuck — a manuscript that will not come together, a launch that flopped, a series plan you cannot see the shape of. Your actual book, your actual numbers. No general advice, no waiting your turn. Slots are deliberately limited.

Claude Setup for Authors

You are already paying for Claude. Let us make it earn its keep. A step-by-step setup session: projects, memory, instructions, skills and the file structure that stops you re-explaining your series in every chat. No theory, just the buttons in the right order. Come with your login and one book.

Pen Name and Branding WorkshopPen Name and Branding Workshop
15 September 2026

Pen Name and Branding Workshop

A pen name is not a fake name, it is a business. In one workshop we build the name, the persona, the promise, the look and the bio — and line them all up so a reader who finds one book knows exactly what the rest will feel like. Leave with a brand kit.

15–18 September 2026

NEW Craft Bootcamp for AI Writers

Four days, rebuilt for how we actually write now: story structure, drafting, style, voice, and editing with AI without sanding your prose flat. Craft first, tech second. Expect homework, expect to be edited, and expect to leave with a process you can run on every book after this one.

Trope Masterclass

Tropes are not clichés, they are a promise — and readers buy the promise before they buy the book. A deep dive into how to stack tropes so they amplify instead of cancel, and how to map them across a series. Live trope mapping on real premises.

Social Media for Anti-Social Authors

How to be everywhere online without ever being online. We batch your content, schedule it weeks ahead and set it running so your platforms stay alive while you stay off them. No dances, no daily selfies, no “just be authentic” advice. Just a system that markets your books while you write.

Outline, Write, Critique: DARK Books

Dark reads are having a moment and they are harder to write than they look. Three days: outline, write live together, then critique chapter one out loud. We cover consent lines, content warnings and morally grey leads who stay compelling. You leave outlined, drafted and pointed in the right direction.

Mafia Romance Blast

One day, one genre, all the way down. What this reader is really buying, the trope stack that performs, the anti-hero who is dangerous without being repellent, and the covers, blurbs and keywords that signal “yes, this one.” For breaking in, or for fixing a book that underperformed.

Novella, LIVE WRITE

I am writing a book. You are watching me do it. A full live write — how I open, where I stall, what I cut, and what my prompts actually look like before anyone tidies them up for a slide. Ask questions while I work. Steal whatever is useful.

Christmas for Authors: Marketing Workshop

December is the highest-spending month of the year and most authors sit it out. Build your whole December plan: what to promote and when, gift and cozy-read angles, seasonal ads and email, gift guides and bundles. You do not need a Christmas book to sell at Christmas — you need Christmas positioning.
