Frequently Asked Questions

My unique mentorship programs are a combination of support, expectations, and information. With a combination of weekly online meetings and digital coursework on the Canvas learning delivery method, we brainstorm and hammer down ideas, keep track of writing progress, work through revisions until completion, and discuss the best ways to find success as a fantasy author.

The mentorship programs all have the same format: information is delivered in an easy-to-access education delivery system combined with weekly one-and-a-half hour digital meetings with me.

The weekly online meetings are like meeting one of your friends for coffee- there’s a high possibility I’ll be sipping coffee when we meet- and talking about your writing. The difference is that I have the knowledge and expertise to guide you from beginning to end. During these sessions, we will discuss your ideas, review your drafts, and brainstorm solutions to any challenges you might be facing. These one-on-one conversations will allow us to dive deeper into your stories, helping you refine your themes and characters while addressing any areas where you feel stuck. This collaborative approach not only provides accountability for you but also creates a supportive environment where you can explore your creativity and push your writing boundaries. With me, you won’t feel afraid to share your ideas! Together, we'll work to make that you complete your content with confidence and clarity, ready for self-publication and sharing.

Canvas is one of the most popular platforms for online education and is used by hundreds of respected colleges and universities; it will allow you to access essential resources, including writing prompts, readings on craft, tutorials on worldbuilding, character development, and plot structure. The platform's features allow you to share your work with me in an orderly fashion and receive feedback all in one convenient place. You can keep track of your progress and access materials at your convenience on Canvas, helping you stay motivated and inspired throughout the course.

Each mentorship program is packed with proprietary materials, from guides to exercises. I have over twenty years of fantasy-writing experience and have been a successful teacher since 2017- that’s a lot of time dedicated to honing my craft, and I’m here to pass it on to you! Keeping the lights on is also a major factor, which includes stuff like web hosting, studio fees, processing fees, taxes, and the rest. Realistically, you’re getting a good deal.

Sometimes life gets in the way of your goals- it just happens. I get that. Ideally, you’ll only enroll in a mentorship program at a point where you’ll be able to devote the time and energy required to do regular writing and attend weekly meetings. Ultimately, whether or not you accomplish your goals is up to you and how well you manage your time. If, however, some huge life event comes up, we will work together to overcome it. That might mean taking a month or a few weeks off, which we can discuss together to decide on the best option for you. Otherwise, you have seven days from enrollment in the course to change your mind for a full refund, but I’d be sad to see you go! Not just for myself, but for the loss of a great story that was waiting to be written.

I offer invaluable services to authors at various stages in the writing process, such as beta reading, cover reviews, developmental editing, book reviews, and more. Check them out!
