Share you true-to-life mystical/magical experience with the world! Submissions will be accepted Winter 2024.
This is our 3-part series on development, writing and publishing. Join all three, or individually. Part one begins June 10 2024 Part two begins January 13, 2025.
Move forward with the knowledge that you are on the right path. These one-hour sessions provide clarity with concrete recommendations to increase your momentum. Brainstorming ignites an idea that's been floundering. Outlining provides a path forward, even though we all know that path will suddenly branch into unexpected territory. And feedback...? Feedback is pure gold.
Developmental Editing is for the earliest stages of your project. It focuses on fully developing a story idea and takes your great setting and characters onto an adventurous path. Copy editing occurs after the story is written and looks at the flow of your story and provides concrete feedback on paragraph arrangement, sentence structure and story development. (At this time, we do not provide proofreading services.)
Weekly 1/2-hour sessions are designed to keep you excited, motivated, and most importantly, realistic. All too often writers set up a goal without taking a cold, hard look at their lives. Once you know what you can do, we help you do it! A one-hour assessment starts the six-week or 12-week option to shift your story from idea to publishable material.
The habits of the mind are just that, habits. The mind likes to stick with what it knows. Give yourself a few weeks and let us help shift the limiting thinking patterns that are the root of procrastination and doubt. Choose a live (online) hypnosis session or a Personalized Hypnosis Interview, which gives you a recording to use as a part of your daily practice.
The energy in these events is extreme. Prepare for change!
We help dozens of people make this leap each year through supportive workshops and writing programs. It starts by removing all the myths that surround the work of becoming an author or taking your writing to the next level. It's like unraveling a mummy at times- layer after layer of false beliefs have to be removed. These false beliefs exist for a reason, though.
Writing is a craft, an artform. You wouldn't ask a glass artist to present a masterpiece the first time they pick up the blowpipe. Or the second, or the third. Each time they practice, they improve. Every time you sit down to write, you are getting better. And that goes for reading, as well. Just reading a book really does make you a better writer. But when you add in the exploration of what makes a good story great, when you demystify the process and break things down into manageable parts, your writing will improve at a much faster rate.
Have you ever stopped to think about how we humans are a storytelling species? We've been sharing stories around the fire since we first left the caves, and even before that. Over 30,000 years ago, our ancestors carved the story of a volcanic eruption deep inside a French cavern, and we're still reading that story today! When publishing shops first sprang up, they sought out the local stories told in the pubs, by grandmothers in the deep winter, and unique versions of fairy tales. Every household had them.
Telling the tale is in your DNA, and just because publishing giants started gobbling up everything they could get their hands on until only a few remain to make all the decisions of what we can buy in a bookstore doesn't change the fact that you inherited a love of story tales and storytelling. As much grief as Amazon has earned for becoming the world's general store, they did help bring storytelling back to the everyday person, where it has always belonged.
