Start your
Writing Career
It started with a kid in Idaho with a dream to write fantasy books, who discovered the hurdles and gatekeeping in the traditional publishing industry and decided to pave a different path.
Say YES
to writing with purpose
Why does so much writing advice focus on methods that often fall short? Write 2000 words a day. Hit a specific page count. Set a timer and power through. The message is clear: write as much as possible, as quickly as you can, and maybe—just maybe—you’ll finish one day. But what if there’s a better way? What if, instead of chasing arbitrary numbers, you focused on writing with intention and consistency?
Yes to bold, consistent writing on your terms
Yes to writing what you love
Yes to publishing your book your way
Don't leave
your story untold
Your story deserves to be told, and failing to tell it would be a tragedy! As a writer, you hold the power to craft incredible worlds, unforgettable characters, and epic adventures. Don’t let fear or self-doubt stop you—take charge of your writing journey and turn your dream into reality.
Every successful writer started somewhere. They faced rejection, battled doubts, and pushed through setbacks. The difference? They kept going. They kept doing the right things. Now it’s your turn. Master your Craft. Write your story. Publish it your way.
It all started
with a kid and dream
What started as a love for epic fantasy novels, like The Sword of Shannara, has evolved into a lifelong passion for storytelling and helping others tell their own.
Limiting Beliefs
I started chasing my writing dreams in college, but you know what I lacked? Vision. Worse, I was drowning in self-doubt and limiting beliefs. Rejection scared me, and the thought of brainstorming, finishing, publishing, and marketing a novel? Totally overwhelming. It felt impossible.
Gatekeepers & Hurdles
Growing up as a self-proclaimed introvert and an avid learner, I set out to explore the world of publishing. But what I found were unnecessary barriers, outdated mindsets, and mountains of unhelpful advice. Refusing to accept those hurdles, I made it my mission to break down the gatekeeping traditions of the literary world. Through trial, testing, and a relentless dedication to learning, I’ve developed the tools, strategies, and systems writers need to confidently finish their novels and take control of their publishing journeys—without waiting for a nod from the traditional industry.
The Writer Mindset
Today, I’m all about what can be controlled—honing your craft, amplifying your voice, and connecting directly with the readers who are excited to hear what you have to say.
How to Live Your
Best Writer's Life
These simple — but effective — tenets are what drive your new Writer’s Life.
Focus on creating with intention rather than chasing arbitrary goals. Consistency matters far more than word counts—craft your story one step at a time, with deliberate effort.
Before putting pen to paper, clarify your reasons for writing. Whether it’s to entertain, inspire, or express yourself, your “why” will anchor your path and keep you motivated through challenges.
Equip yourself with resources that support your craft. Whether it’s using Scrivener for organization, a quality thesaurus, or online writing communities, the tools you choose should empower your creativity.
Growth requires outside perspectives. Seek advice from trusted editors, beta readers, or mentors, and use constructive criticism to hone your craft.
Rejections, blocks, and challenges are not failures but lessons. Adopt a growth mindset and use every hurdle as an opportunity to improve and grow as a writer.
Follow your passion, not trends. The best writing comes from a place of excitement and authenticity. If you love your story, your readers will too.
Don’t wait for permission to write or publish. Whether traditional or self-publishing, take the lead in your career. Your unique voice deserves to be heard.
Never stop growing. Study the craft, read widely, and learn from others. Perseverance through the highs and lows is the hallmark of a true writer.
