Christian creative writing training that actually works.

If you’re serious about becoming a professional writer, let’s talk. Aspiring adult writers of all ages are encouraged to join our community of Christian writers.

Practical

This isn’t about high-minded arts theory or intellectual discourse. We don’t spend weeks on Jane Eyre or ever read David Foster Wallace. This is the brass tacks: we empower you with the essential skills to become an author that Americans want to read, see, and hear.

Spirit-Led

This is as much a ministry school as a writing school. Why? Because Christian writers are in ministry. We connect daily with Jesus and our highest priority is to help you grow into the full calling God has on your life.

Functional

It’s not enough to simply know how to write. There’s a business side, too. You’ll complete this program fully prepared to write professionally, armed with a comprehensive understanding of the publishing industry.
