About Us

Mission

Of primary importance, we aim to build a community of mutual support and connection for authors at every stage of their careers. Additionally, we will offer an array of professional services to assist them in navigating the various aspects of being a professional author.

Vision 

We are building a community of authors using various platforms and a monthly newsletter where writers can turn for understanding and support regarding the unique needs and challenges of being a professional author where no one has to feel alienated. In addition to creating and moderating these community spaces, we offer professional services for authors at every stage of their careers. With individual coaching sessions, group classes about various topics, such as paths to publication, marketing, and promotion, and services such as editing and packages of social media images and videos, we have a well-rounded offering for writers.

Values 

We are dedicated to upholding standards of diversity, equity, and inclusion. Not only do we honor a writer’s identity, experiences, and truth, but we help fine-tune individual authors’ voices as a means of sharing their stories from their perspective.

Tracey Love

Tracey guides her coaching with the belief that storytelling is healing. With a focus on the structure of fiction, her objective is to help authors become empowered to find their literary voice and share it with the world.

Jennifer Fay Smith

Jennifer comes at coaching from a much different background. Jennifer started college pursuing computer programming (yes, another language). Ultimately, however, her desire to understand human psychology and communication led her to be a linguist. Now she works with nonprofits, writes, and creates art.

C.R. ‘Chelsea’ Jones

There hasn’t been a time in my life when I haven’t been writing. I received an associate’s degree in creative writing in 2015 and began working on several novels afterward. I have two Queer Romantasy/Sci-Fi novels published, with the third coming in late 2025. I have also started my first YA series, which will launch in 2025..

Skye Erikson

I have had a burning passion for reading and storytelling since I was very young; though I pursued my English degree for three and a half years after high school, I struggled with personal and financial issues which led to me to drop out in early 2010. Despite being deeply discouraged for over a decade thereafter, I didn’t let it stop me from chasing my bookish dreams eventually!
