Session 1 : From Hobby to Holy Calling - Begin moving your writing from merely a rainy day past-time to a profession you approach with passion and self-discipline.

Session 2 : Trendspotting: How Trends in Society Affect Your Writing - Steve Laube

Session 3 : All Together-By Ourselves - Joy Jordan-Lake,
Lily Tomlin once quipped, “We’re all in this together–by ourselves,” which aptly describes a writer’s peculiar existence.  Learn how to incorporate both the writing life’s self-imposed isolation and the Inklings’ kind of creativity-in-community

Session 4 : Till Our Stories Have Faces - Joy Jordan-Lake,
Experience how just as a journey of faith is, at its core, not all about us, our writing improves as it concerns, longings and search for meaning shifts away from the writer’s “showing off” toward focusing on lives outside our own: our characters’ conflicts,

Session 5 : The 10K’s of a Good Book (Or How You Can Earn $10k on Your Next One) - Steve Laube

Session 6 : Crafting Writing that is Good, but Not Safe - Joy Jordan-Lake,

Lewis’ lion Aslan, are “not safe…but…good.”
