What is the Serious Writer Academy? 

 Glad you asked!

The Serious Writer Academy is a catalogue of classes suited for the publishing industry specifically. We have classes on fiction, nonfiction, children’s writing, marketing, platform, and more.

Think of these as classes you’d take at a writer’s conference. Except you don’t have to worry about randomized schedules and missing a class due to pitching appointments. And you don’t have to worry about those ENORMOUS conference prices. You know, the ones that cost you $1000+ to MAYBE get a class catered to your specific publishing needs.

Instead, you can take these classes on your own time, have lifetime access to these classes, AND it’s for a FRACTION of the cost that you would pay to receive the same materials at a writing conference.

Build your own writing conference below at your own time, peruse our classes by genre, and learn from some of the industry’s top professionals.
