Frequently Asked

Before you book, the quick stuff…

Is this genre-specific?▾
No. Reader psychology principles apply across all fiction genres. The techniques work whether you write romance, thriller, fantasy, or literary fiction.
Do I need a finished manuscript?▾
Helpful but not required. These techniques work on drafts in progress, finished manuscripts, or even outlines.
Are there recordings?▾
No. This is a live, attend-once experience. The value is in showing up, doing the work in real time, and getting live feedback from Coral and the group.
Can’t make the live date?▾
There’s a self-paced on-demand version for $97 — the same teaching, broken into video lessons you watch on your own schedule. It’s a standalone interactive class, not a recording of the live session. Prefer live Q&A and real-time feedback? Book the live cohort below at $147.
