The Author Adventure Academy

If you’re looking for thoughtful, soul-reverent, on-demand support through every stage of the book-writing journey, you’re in the right place.

This suite of courses reflects more than twenty years of teaching writers how to write—shaped by my work as a university professor, author, professional editor, author mentor, and publishing project manager.

The material here is drawn directly from what I teach and share with my private clients, now available in self-paced form at a fraction of the cost.

Each course is designed to meet you exactly where you are, while also fitting into a larger, coherent path—from first draft, to revision, to publishing, and finally to bringing your book into the world.

Every program includes:

  • Video lessons with me guiding you step by step

  • Accompanying PDFs to help you integrate the material with depth and ease

  • A clear, repeatable framework you can return to for future projects

You don’t need to figure this out alone—or reinvent the wheel. These courses are here to support you with clarity, steadiness, and craft you can trust.
