Welcome to Storyteller Secrets!
I created this free series of trainings to help aspiring authors & busy entrepreneurs finally start writing their book:
- Without having to take three months off of work.
- Even if you’ve never written before.
- Without having to read dozens of craft books first.
- Even if you’re super busy.
As someone who has written eleven manuscripts (and counting) while growing my coaching and copywriting biz full-time, I know a thing or two about writing books and getting them done quickly. It absolutely is possible to write while serving clients, launching products, or juggling a demanding 9 – 5 job (I’ve done all of this!)
And while I do share some strategic tips for you in this training series, you’ll also find plenty of guidance on how to tap into creative methods that are unique to you.
So, ready to dive in? Grab a pen and paper, prepare to take lots of notes, and let’s go!

Storyteller Academy (For Fiction Authors)
I don’t sell this course publicly anymore, but you can enroll today for just $199!
Here’s what you’ll find inside:

This course is designed specifically for fiction authors and will help you combine writing craft knowledge with the momentum needed to finish your book! (P.S: I teach the exact same framework of this course at my live workshop events!)
