Come up with a great story before you begin writing

Page-turners don’t happen by accident. They’re created, carved and chiseled thanks to our knowledge of the market and insight into commercial viability. We work with you to develop your idea, step by step, using our unique approach, through our course lessons and dedicated coaching program.

Our Story First Method™ makes sense (at last) of the writing process. It will save you a whole lot of time and trouble, allowing you to hit the page with confidence. What’s more, our unique approach ensures the tale you’re telling is likely to excite publishers, agents and readers.

Our method brings joy to the writing process sooner, and stacks the odds of publishing success in your favor.
