About the Course *

  • Plan on three focused hours: one for the video module, one for the writing challenge, and one for live feedback. Squeeze them in during lunch breaks or binge them on Sunday—it’s your deadline, your call.

  • Nope. If you can open a basic word processor—or a napkin note app—you’re set. We concentrate on storytelling mechanics, not button clicking.

  • Whether you’re penning dystopian epics or personal essays about your neighbor’s pet lizard, the principles of productive, high quality writing stay the same.

  • Every module, worksheet, and replay lives in your dashboard for a full year. Catch up with midnight marathons or slow-burn weekends—no guilt trip included.

  • Yes. By the end of this course, you will have a comprehensive understanding of exactly how to self-publish your book for purchase online and with major print-on-demand distributors in 2026.

  • Amazing! We’re glad you asked. Book a free 30 minute consultation with us and we can help you discover what kind of hands-on support might suit you best.

Meet Your Instructor, Raven Royce

She’s ghostwritten bestsellers and helped countless authors and artists beat creative blocks with humor and passion. Part editor, part coach, part literary doula, she reads your draft like a fingerprint, finds what’s off, and often can pinpoint just the thing that will make it sing.

Her goal is to center your artist self, turn stalled drafts into finished work, and teach the craft of self-publishing with taste, courage, and a little mischief.

Meet Your Instructor, Ryan Jacobi

Ryan is a filmmaker, storytelling expert, and quiet Capricorn who loves depth and feeling. Patient and observant, he knows when to cut and when to hold a frame. His goal is to help you see the brilliance and genius of your authentic expression, and to encourage you to take practical steps to bring your magic into form.
