Why deadlines beat inspiration

Almost nobody stops writing because they ran out of craft knowledge.

How we work

Pages first, polish later

Unfinished books usually stall in the same place: far enough in that the initial excitement is gone, not far enough to see the ending. That's a momentum problem, and craft advice doesn't solve it.

So the structure of every program is the same. A weekly target small enough to survive a bad week, a fixed day to send pages, and someone who reads them and replies. Writers who've circled a project for years often finish inside one program.

Feedback is specific and kind, in that order. You'll be told what isn't working, because a coach who only encourages you is wasting your time.

Our principles

Three beliefs behind the method

A deadline every week

Pages due to a person beat any amount of motivation.

One fix at a time

A note about everything is a note about nothing.

No fees beyond coaching

We charge no reading fees, take no rights and promise no publication.
