READY TO WRITE THAT BOOK?

Calling all people who have a story to tell...

Are you READY TO WRITE THAT BOOK? Or do you wish you could just write FASTER?

Whether you're a successful author or have never considered writing a novel in your life, this resource is one writers are raving about.

The thing is, we've been on both sides.

As writing coaches (a NYT bestselling author and an award-winning author), we've created the resource we WISH had existed when we were starting out—and that we now use for our own books and with our clients today.

One that can:

  • GET EVEN THE MOST NEWBIE WRITER started

  • Get you DRAFTING FASTER

  • And get you TO THAT EXCITING FINISH LINE—WITH MORE CONFIDENCE, GREATER EASE, and A SMARTER APPROACH.

Most writers don't struggle with the DESIRE to write. They struggle with FINDING THE TIME, THE MOTIVATION, or A PROCESS THAT WORKS FOR THEM.

After years of teaching clients HOW to navigate the skills needed for faster writing and highly marketable books (while still maintaining each story's authenticity, integrity, and heart), we decided to work ourselves out of a job by putting our signature coaching course into a book.

Now, anyone can access it—and at a much lower cost than hiring us.

So, welcome to The Storyteller's Weekly Journal <3

It's essentially a teaching book, bullet journal, day planner, and workbook—all rolled into one.

Spanning 240 pages, it features TEMPLATES, WORKSHEETS, ENCOURAGEMENT, SELF-CARE TIPS, QUERY HELP, and MORE.

Specifically, it coaches writers through:

📌Idea Development

📌In-depth Characterization

📌Worldbuilding

📌Variety of Plot Structures

📌Subplotting

📌Organic Conflict

📌Writer's Block

📌Scene-by-Scene Outlining

📌Emotional Arcs

📌Red Herrings

📌Pacing & Tension

📌Telling / Showing

📌Themes

📌Self-editing

📌Revision Process

📌Crafting Loglines

📌Query Templates & Pitch Materials

📌Comp Titles

📌Questions for a Literary Agent

AND MORE!

We hope it transforms your writing process and helps you fall even more in love with your story.

We're rooting for you! (And when your novel is finished, we’d love to be among the first to read it—so be sure to let us know!)
