From Aspiring to Author – A Guide for Your Publishing Career 

Are you confused about all the publishing options available today? Often taught with my business partner, Megan Haskell, this talk will help aspiring novelists plot their own adventure. They will be given a Publishing Personality Test to determine which model, Agented Traditional, Boutique Press, or Independent Publishing is best for them.  The course then maps out the pros, cons, and processes for each of those publishing worlds.  

 The Plot Menu – Creating a Balanced Story

Pantsing is inefficient. Plotting tedious. In this workshop you’ll learn a unique method of “plantsing” that bounces your story between the 9 Enneagram Personality types and the basic 3 act structure.
