You see, last January I launched Writer’s Craft Academy, the ultimate membership site for aspiring authors.
Writer’s Craft Academy offers:
• weekly group coaching sessions;
• a vibrant online forum;
• additional resources like guides, ebooks, and workbooks;
• group writing sessions;
• a monthly book club; and
• an ever-growing video training library for authors just like YOU.
You can learn more about the Academy here.
