Unique Adventures In The Death-Defying World of Fiction Taming
Okay, maybe not quite “death-defying”—but it will sometimes feel like it, at least to me.
What you get with
In addition to monthly updates, sales and promotions, and recommended resources, you’ll receive the following...
Insight Into An Author’s Mind
Get an inside look into my thought processes as I diligently work to “tame” my fiction.
Fiction can be an unruly beast (at least in my experience) and as such, I’m wholly willing to share the journey of whipping it into shape in front of my readers.
With each “edition” of The Fiction Tamer, you’ll get insights from sections like “The Coffee Shot," “The Bookshelf,” and more as I grow my newsletter into a thriving community of like-minded fiction lovers. And speaking of growing…
Watch Me Grow As A Writer
It’s kind of like “Big Brother”—if writers were involved.
I've published four nonfiction books since beginning my “official” writing career back in 2015. And though I’ve always been more adept at sharing my experiences and expertise via nonfiction (blog posts, journaling), I’ve wanted to get my fiction career up and running for years.
As I share my goals, dreams, disappointments, and writer angst, you'll be able to watch me develop as a writer by seeing my writing develop in real-time.
Unique Writing Tips—From A Writer
Even if I avoid writing sometimes. (Hey, what writer doesn’t?)
I’m seriously considering including a special section for readers who are thinking about starting their own writing career (or hobby, if that’s your jam).
If you’d like to see me incorporate various writing tips and resources into my newsletter, feel free to let me know by replying to any email you receive from The Fiction Tamer.
Although I don’t want it to become solely a resource for writers, I expect it to at least host a treasure trove of information for writers should they need it.
Insider Extras Available Only To Subscribers
Content exclusive to The Fiction Tamer—and nowhere else!
My vision for this newsletter is sort of like the “DVD extras” of my writing. (You remember DVDs, don’t you?) A place where, once you’ve read my books, stories, and other works of fiction, you can come "backstage" for the "after-party" (strictly BYOC—Bring Your Own Coffee).
What this means is, except for rare occasions, The Fiction Tamer will be the only place to get such an insider VIP experience. Not on my Substack, not on my blog, not anywhere else—just here, inside The Fiction Tamer.
If all this sounds like something you’d like to belong to, keep scrolling to read more about me and sign up.
