All Great Writers Have One Thing In Common:

They write from the soul.

They put a piece of themselves on every page.

What's Stopping You From Doing the Same?

We get it. It seems easier -- and "safer" -- to hide your real self from your readers. To write in a way that's detached from your personal experiences, your passions, your true authentic self.

And perhaps that's why, even if you've worked hard on your craft, you find that your work simply doesn't connect with editors, agents and readers.

Because it's generic.

Because it's bland.

Because it's not authentically you.

Award-winning author and writing educator Teresa Funke will help you change that forever.

Writing about experiences from your life can add rich color to your work, and bring out your authentic voice. Teresa will not only give you the courage to write from your personal experience, she'll provide lots of specific, hands-on instruction on exactly how to do it!
