Is God calling you to write a book?
We want to help you! The Author's Training School is a three-month school which provides a supportive, incubator-like environment where you can work on your novel, memoir, or non-fiction book away from distractions.
The school will alternate between teaching and writing weeks. During the teaching weeks, visiting authors and publishing experts will provide instruction in writing craft and the business of publishing. After each period of input, you will embark on writing your book during designated writing weeks alongside your fellow students and the ATS staff who will be present to advise and encourage you in the writing journey.
