Taught by a working publisher, not a course seller. Manuscripts and packages are in the Shop. Free sample of the teaching: reader magnets and newsletter swaps, answered in class.
Live classes and workshops, August – December 2026. Booked by class date — seats are limited.
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.
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 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.
Three days, one Halloween book. Day one we outline it properly. Day two we write together, live. Day three we critique chapter one out loud, with feedback you can actually use. You leave outlined, drafted and structurally sound — in time to publish while spooky season is still selling. Bring a premise or borrow one of ours.
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.
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.
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.
Tropes are not clichés, they are a promise — and readers buy the promise before they buy the book. A deep dive into what is selling, how to stack tropes so they amplify instead of cancel, and how to map them across a series. Live trope mapping on real premises.
Three days to a Christmas book while there is still a Christmas to sell it into. Day one we outline, day two we write live together, day three we critique chapter one honestly. Holiday romance sells hard, but only if you are in the store early. You will be drafting before the tinsel goes up.
Members-only training on your Perfect Year HQ — the system that runs your whole author year from one place. Releases, launches, marketing, admin and writing days mapped across twelve months, so you stop planning in a panic every quarter. Bring your existing plan, however messy it is.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 cosy-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.
