"The first thing I noticed working with other writers in Author Growth Corner, especially those who work differently or write a different sub-genre, is the elements of every good story are the same regardless of genre or writing approach.
In a group setting such as Author Growth Corner, other writers see highlights and inaccuracies in the story that I couldn’t. They helped me analyze and elevate the narrative before completing the first draft, saving me from many re-edits. The group setting is uplifting and lets me know I am not alone on this journey.
Katie’s insight is always helpful, and her coaching approach gives me the fostering inspiration I need to improve my work."
