This course is for you if...
👉 You’ve built some credibility, maybe even a readership, but you’re wondering how to stay visible between books
👉 You’re deep in a book that’s taking literal years—and want people to find your work in the meantime
👉 You’ve wondered, What’s the point of making art when the world’s on fire? (and yet... you keep writing)
👉 You’re time-poor, but secretly want to build a little something-something on the side
👉 You’re not here to suffer for your art, you want to enjoy it
What it's really about...
People can’t connect with your work if they don’t know it exists
Your future readers aren’t psychic, you need to give them something to trip over
This isn’t about shouting into the void. It’s about sharing your work and ideas in ways that feel fun—and having a plan for what that could look like long term
You'll learn how small experiments can build a big, fulling writing life
Most writers don’t just want to write, they want to be read
Not ten years from now—now
If you’ve ever thought...
✨ I want opportunities to come to me
✨ I want to build a creative life, not just sit in a room working on a book indefinitely
✨ I feel stuck and want more creative energy
✨ I want to find my people
...this is for you.

(And how it can fuel your bigger work)
Talent stacking and finding your niche– Combine your weird interests into something people remember
Experiment with form – Guided creative exercises (that are fun!) will help you figure out a format or form for profile building
Humour writing – short form and long form. Learn how to be funny (or funnier) and make people laugh—in your book, blog, or anything in between
Creative interviewing – A sneaky back door into profile building: rather than trying to get attention, give it. Learn how to interview writers and authors—whether it’s for a podcast, newsletter, event, or something else
Short-form storytelling (non-fiction)– Share moments that connect across different platforms
Cartooning + play – We'll steal ways of working and ideas from other mediums. through like cartoons, memes and other visual detours that surprise, delight, and sometimes say the most
Sharing & building – You don't have to wait for a book to come out, before you can start to build a readership. You can do it now!
By the end, you’ll have:
→ A clearer sense of your creative identity
→ A practical plan for building your profile (one that won’t burn you out)
→ A public body of work
→ A way to show up online that feels genuine, not like a performance
→ More energy and momentum for your long-haul writing projects
→ Real connections with other writers who get what you’re trying to do
