Every week, I share the best writing advice that I've learned from publishing three fantasy novels and a bestselling video game.
My books include The Thunder Heist, Across the Broken Stars, and Fires of the Dead. I also wrote Siege of Treboulain - an epic fantasy video game. I also created the Wizards, Warriors, & Words, and Novel Analyst podcasts.
Topics include: plotting, structure, worldbuilding, dialogue, prose, characters, marketing, productivity, mindset, and lots more.
