Empowering writers to have successful and flourishing careers

  • Emotional connection

    Exciting prose should captivate and move your audience.

  • Don't just write

    Read widely in the genre you write in – but don’t forget to read widely, period. Doing so will: help improve your craft; sharpen your vocabulary and grammar skills; provide you with inspiration; and allow you to strengthen your storytelling.

  • Success is wonderful

    But it’s important to get comfortable with failures. It's the failures that serve as our biggest growth opportunity.

  • Keep up to date

    Having an agent doesn't mean you don't need to know about the publishing industry. An informed author is an empowered author.

  • Know your audience

    Whether you write fiction or nonfiction, it's essential to know who your audience is and the conventions your readers expect.

  • Author platform

    Building an author platform takes time, but it shows agents and publishers you have a ready and welcoming audience willing to purchase your book.
