Workshops Against Empire / Story Medicine Community 1-year Membership
When you join the Story Medicine Community, you receive access to the five courses at the heart of the Workshops Against Empire alternative MFA program—the program for fiction writers who know that stories have the power to change the world, and who want to use that power for good.
You'll have access to the 5 core courses at the heart of this program for a full year from the date you sign up. These courses include:
Anatomy of the Novel (your no-nonsense guide to big-picture structure—the number one thing novelists struggle with)
Being Scene (an education in how to write powerhouse scenes—so your story can truly come alive on the page)
Voice and Vision (the course that demystifies point of view, backstory, and voice—all notoriously difficult skills to master)
Story Medicine (the course designed to help you take your novel from good to great—and stand out to publishing pros on submission)
and
Final Draft (your guide to pitching and publishing with confidence)
Workshops Against Empire truly is an education in the art of the novel—from big-picture structure all the way down to prose and pitching. And when you register, you'll also receive:
1. Membership in the Story Medicine Community, the online writers group for writers dedicated to the social impact of their stories. (The Story Medicine Community is also the place where you can ask me any question you might have about the coursework, or about YOUR work; I do my best to reply to all questions within one business day!)
2. One live call each month, where we dig into a topic covered in the courses in greater depth.
3. One dedicated one-on-one coaching session focused on helping you strengthen your novel and make the most of what you learn in your courses.
4. Access to the replays of all of my live events, including my popular monthly masterclasses and interviews with authors, editors, and agents specializing in fiction that has a positive social impact.
5. The opportunity to submit questions ahead of these interviews to the authors, editors, and agents I'm in conversation with.
