“I’ve seen my writing dramatically improve in a few short months, thanks to Jerry’s points about dialogue and self-editing! Learning from a more experienced professional is something many people pay thousands of dollars and travel hundreds of miles to do. I can do it curled up in my pajamas at home!”
— Sarah Pierce
“Things I learned in the short time since I joined the Guild helped me to edit to the point the story became clear and crisp. I’m blessed to have been able to learn so much so quickly! I just sold my first piece. Thanks for all your help at the Guild!”
— Sherry Stacy
“I joined the Guild with a fully written manuscript and a desperate need to learn how to edit it properly. I’ve learned to ferociously self-edit, show and not tell, use dialogue to drive more of the story, and choose point of view characters for each scene. The book reads so much better now!”
— Timothy Thomas
“I have tried to embrace all the great info you share, Jerry. The result has been three publishers asking for a book proposal. I am a first-time writer and felt overwhelmed with the process until I found your Guild.”
— Elaine Bush
How many times have you said that?
More than you care to admit?
To your family.
Your friends.
Even your co-workers.
And the more times you say it, the less real it seems.
Sure, you’re working on a book.
But will you ever finish it?
If you’re like me, you have a story and a message you’re desperate to share.
It’s burning inside you.
But writing your book feels impossible.
Every time you sit to write, one or more of these things happen:
You feel unbearable pressure to be perfect
You remember posting your writing online, and it was apparently read by no one
You worry that if someone did read it, they thought it was terrible
That voice in your head tells you you’re foolish to call yourself a writer
You find yourself distracted by chores, the internet, you name it
So much for progress. Maybe you’ll write tomorrow.
Week after week goes by with little or no progress.
Have those weeks turned into months?
Or years?
Does fear keep you from really going for it?
If you’ve written anything, is it still hidden somewhere in a computer file —
Where no one will ever read it, let alone be changed by it?
Maybe you’ve even quit saying, “I’m working on a book.”
Most heartbreaking, have you begun to accept that your book will never see the light of day.
But what if your message, your story, should be heard by multitudes desperate for someone to transform them with just the right book?
If you don’t take action — if you don’t find a way to break through your fear, your discouragement, your lack of training…
The story within you will wither away without ever reaching readers.
In the Guild you will discover how bestselling authors overcome the very same obstacles you face and write books that reach the world.
Yes, successful writers deal with the same fears and barriers you do. They’ve simply found ways to break through. And you can too.
After more than 50 years in writing and publishing, seeing thousands of passionate writers finish and release their books –– and countless more give up and fail –– I’ve discovered a common denominator in those who reach their goals: guidance and support.
“I can hardly believe you are so generous with your knowledge, transparency, and time to help others hone their craft. I’ve heard you speak at several writers conferences and have loved learning from you. Now that I’m a part of the Guild, your webinars and materials have given me such substance and direction. They are extraordinary! Thank you a zillion times over.”
— Jan Hail
I’m dead serious about being your personal writing coach.
You have writing questions. I have answers. So, I’m available.
Writing is a solitary profession–one of the realities that makes it so hard at which to succeed. Sure, you could Google your writing questions and hope for the best. But this way you can directly interact with a real author who’s been in the business for decades and written nearly 200 books, fiction and nonfiction. I’d like to think I can get you where you’re trying to go faster than a generic search engine.
Once a week you can ask me any question about the writing or the publishing process—and I’ll answer as soon as I’m able, almost always within a day or two. You’ll get my personal input on your most pressing writing problem. And if I don’t know the answer, you can be sure I know someone in the industry who does.
So don’t let a niggling question discourage or stop you. Just ask me.
“I’m SO excited to have Jerry Jenkins as our… mentor is the word that keeps coming to mind. The tools you are offering here will help us grow into solid writers. I’ve finally found the right place for not just learning and growth as a writer, but encouragement, support, guidance, and accountability as we move individually and collectively towards our various goals.”
— Kristi Ross
“Through the guild I’ve gained a community that provides feedback, support, encouragement, and inspiration. I am thankful and blessed!”
— Meagan Justus
