Has God been prompting you to write something? Perhaps you’ve started a few times and become overwhelmed with how to organize your thoughts.
Whether it’s a short devotion, an article or blog post, a Christian living book, or a full-blown novel, learning the craft is a skill that requires an investment.
Let’s face it, we don’t have time to dedicate thousands of hours to practicing the rules and norms of an industry that is constantly changing. Besides, taking writing classes, even online, is expensive. After all, you want to get your message out sooner than that.
So, where do you go to shorten the learning curve and jumpstart your writing? Where do you find a friend who is passionate about coming alongside authors and watching them succeed? You may have found that place here.
There’s a lot of poor writing out there. My hope is that you’ll discover what’s needed to make your writing stand out from the rest. Especially if you plan to pitch your ideas to literary agents and publishers. As a multiple award-winning author who speaks regularly at several Christian writer’s conferences around the country, I’m passionate about giving serious writers a “leg-up” so they can present their best for the Lord.
Are you looking for Christ-centered coaching to keep you accountable while cheering you on? Do you need a mentor who encourages you while still helping you grow a thick skin to survive the publishing industry? If you want to surround yourself with people who stretch you with a mix of grace and truth, then Tez Brooks and Purple Mountain Literary Services is a great place to start. In 2023, Brooks was named one of the Top Writing Coaches by the Coach Foundation.
