The Page-Turner
MasterClasses are
right for you if:
- You’ve got story ideas but need some help getting organized
- You feel you’re toiling away alone, without the benefit of expert guidance to get you closer to your writing goals
- You love writing, but fear you may not “have what it takes” to succeed
- You struggle to find time to write while juggling work and family, so you’d benefit from a focused program to keep you on track
- You feel you’re making progress with your writing, but want to give yourself the gift of 6 weeks of guidance
- Your inner perfectionist won’t let you stop micro-editing and move forward
- You want to work with a pro to identify and improve possible weaknesses in your writing
- You feel energized by connecting with others who are as serious about writing as you are
- You're at work on a novel or a memoir, because the storytelling essentials of fiction also apply to memoirs.
I’ve helped many writers along this exciting path.
Here are some of them.
