Writer Education

Can we have an honest conversation about publishing? Because let's face it—this journey can feel like trying to solve a Rubik's cube blindfolded. (Trust me, as an engineer who decided to write steamy sci-fi, I know all about jumping into the deep end!)

​

Here's the thing: I was exactly where you are now—dreaming about publishing but feeling overwhelmed? Check. Wondering if there's room for another voice in sci-fi? Double check. Trying to figure out how to write while keeping your day job? Triple-check with a side of caffeine!

​

That's why I started interviewing other authors. I wanted to create the resource I wished I'd had—no sugar coating, just real talk about what it takes to make it happen.

January Events coming soon!

My Favorite Writer Tools

A writer is only as good as their tools, or something like that? Scribeforge's Essential Worldbuilding Blueprint and Workbook helped me build my whole planet - Sequ - for my debut novel Love and Other Alien Concepts. Its so easy to use but also incredibly thorough. Of course, I created a massive spreadsheet so I could plan out the two contrasting islands at the same time. I'll also be using it for my secret, upcoming sci-fi trilogy that I plan to rapid fire release in 2026!

Right now I'm using their Essential Character Creation Blueprint and Workbook to improve my main characters of the Witchy Murder Mystery Romantasy I started plotting that I'm calling Project TDDUP.

I'm also plotting out my story using author Kimberly Grymes Four Week Story Prep Workbook. I have both the spiral version and the e-version and it is life changing.

Each week takes you down a progressive path where you add in more and more detail and uses a method similar to saves the cat, but simplified and with plenty of explanation.
