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 training program.

Full-Time, On-site Apprenticeship Program

Now Accepting Applications for Fall 2022!

There’s more to becoming a professional writer than just learning to write well. A lot more. We can help.

At the School of Kingdom Writers, you will learn how to write. You will learn the business of writing. And you will connect deeply with the Holy Spirit.

Our full-time training program will train you to write professionally, publish, and get paid to do it.

This program is open to adults of all ages and backgrounds. If you’re all-in for Jesus and aspire to be a novelist and influencer, you’re in the right place.

Our next full-time class will begin on September 5, 2022. We are now accepting applications for this class.

This is a full-time, on-site apprenticeship program. Students join us in Zanesville, Ohio, for the duration of the 2-year program.

We will fill seats in this program as applications are received, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible. We’ll update this page when the class is full.

We recommend carefully reviewing all of the information on this page and the provided links before applying. As soon as you’re ready, the button below will take you to our secure online application.

Student Testimonials

Anya Israel, age 20, from Wichita, Kansas

“Honestly, I was surprised most by how much I’ve grown spiritually. I’m stronger, more confident, and more peaceful than I’ve ever been both mentally and spiritually. The results of growth are always worth the pain of the journey.”

Michaylah Malone, age 30s, from Paris, Texas

“If you feel God is calling you to write and you desire hands-on learning, then this school is the perfect place to be! I’ve experienced growth, discipline, discipleship, healing, and a deeper understanding of what it means to be called by God for the glory of His kingdom. Although I enjoyed writing stories before, this school teaches the secrets to actually succeeding in the world of writing. I imagine the experience so far as bones being broken in order to grow back correctly as habits I’ve accumulated over the years are being renewed for the better. Best decision I ever made!”

Thirzah Griffioen, age 18, from Bryans Road, Maryland

“What I really love about the School of Kingdom Writers so far, is that I can already see my writing improve– quite a bit. I’ve learned a lot of different techniques that have completely changed the way I used to write, and I’m so impressed with the results.“
