Social media won’t tell you this…

The Details
We’ll Help You Become a Writer for Life
It can be easy to look at writers on social media and think, “It must have been easy for her to get where she is now.” But there’s always more to the story.
The two of us are so grateful to have published over forty books, launched podcasts with over 1.6 million downloads, and spoken to audiences all over the globe of up to eight thousand people.
But we also know what it’s like to get rejection letters, battle discouragement, feel overwhelmed in our work, and wonder if we’re the only one who’s struggling.
We’ve learned a lot the hard way—and we don’t want you to have to do the same. We want to come alongside to help birth your dream. We’ll share our best practices, our worst mistakes, and so much more with you. It took us over forty years of combined experience to know what we do now, but you only need 12 weeks!

What Graduates are Saying...
I now have a clear map of how to navigate the journey of being a writer for life. I am relatively new at this process, but already feel as though I am years ahead because of the insight and wisdom they shared in this invaluable course. If you are considering honing your writing skills, whether just getting started or feeling seasoned in your efforts, these next three months will meet you where you are and take you further than you anticipate. I highly recommend the investment!
I never thought I was the writer type, much less someone who could actually publish a book. I was just the girl standing at the door with a message in her bag, hoping I could make this thing work. BUT after completing Holley and Suzie’s masterclass, I have clarity and direction in not only how to make my heartfelt message into a book, but also how to help it stick in people’s hearts and minds. It was worth every penny!
I have sincere gratitude for all Suzie and Holley have given our class. I’m incredibly grateful for what they’ve inspired: a new, consistent rhythm of writing each day that refreshes me and makes me feel closer to God. It’s exactly what this busy wife-mama-woman prayed for when I submitted my application. Not only did God answer that prayer, but He also has blessed me with connections to other women who also are growing as writers. I’m so thankful.
Signing up for the Writer For Life Masterclass was truly one of the best decisions I ever made as a writer. I’ve taken many classes and attended many writers’ workshops. I was/am a member of several writers’ groups in my local area, but this masterclass truly encouraged me to delve into some things I never even thought about before. Now, I am truly a “writer for life!”
