“Remember your dreams and fight for them. You must know what you want from life. There is just one thing that makes your dream become impossible: the fear of failure.” ― Paulo Coelho
This class is about the nuts and bolts of publishing. We'll begin by better understanding when a piece is ready for prime time. We'll discuss key questions to ask yourself before sending it out into the world. Participants will learn to understand the ins and outs of submitting, how to tell if a journal is a good fit, and how to set goals for publication that encourage rather than discourage. To conclude, we'll create simple cover letters and discuss strategies for acceptance and rejection alike. The process of polishing and publication can be fun! Let's do this!

TESTIMONIALS
Working with Jen was a delightful process, she confidently navigated me through developmental editing to ready my book for pitching to publishers. She listened well and understood my goals and interests. It was such a pleasure working with Jen and I look forward to working with her again on my next book project. I highly recommend Jen if you are writing a book and want to partner with a supportive and knowledgeable guide.

"If you're serious about growing as a writer, you should certainly consider hiring Jen Knox as your writing coach.
Think about it: there are few genuine resources for writers who struggle to conquer their shortcomings and improve their craft. Online articles typically consist of quick tips with no real depth or wisdom. Writing books provide plenty of general advice, but don't typically help to identify your specific writing issues, or provide clear steps to develop new approaches. College classes and writing groups suffer because members generally focus on improving their own work, rather than providing quality feedback on yours.
Though I hold a BA in Creative Writing and a minor in Playwriting from a reputable writing program, Jen's coaching has been a great resource for me. Her no-nonsense approach, sage advice, thoughtful feedback, and considerable knowledge of all things writing has truly helped me exceed my writing goals.
If you're ready to take your writing to the next step, I recommend giving her a call today."
"Jen coached me through the completion of my collection of short stories. She is a great teacher and very precise. With her positive feedback and encouragement, I was able to finish the book. I highly recommend her coaching services for new writers."
