If you are reading this, you likely have a story you want to write. Maybe you've been wrestling with it for months . . . or even years . . . rewriting the same scenes again and again and questioning whether you're good enough, or if this book will ever become the story you know it's meant to be.
This is why I want you to know, I have your free ticket to WorldShift: The Speculative Fiction Writers' Conference--where I'll be teaching a class alongside a lineup of incredible authors, editors, agents, book coaches, and publishing experts.
We are coming together for six days to help writers strengthen their craft, gain clarity, and move their novels closer to completion.
WorldShift is a 6-day online event happening August 17–22, 2026.
