In the last two years, I’ve coached over 170 fantasy writers in my various programs, passing on everything I’ve learned from publishing my own four fantasy novels.

I recently surveyed these 170 writers to ask:


What’s the most useful writing lesson you gained from working with me?


And today, I’ll be sharing their top 10 most impactful lessons…


…some of which actually surprised me.
