Not sure where to begin?
Some writers need structure. Some need company. Some just need to hear how other people do it before they try anything themselves. That’s why these resources exist — so you can start wherever actually works for you, not wherever I tell you to.
Finish Your Damn Draft!
FREE 7-DAY COURSE FOR WRITERS
A free 7-day email course that gives you one clear step a day until your draft moves from “someday” to “in progress.” Learn from my greatest lessons that got me from struggling writer to publishing over 70 books.
This is for you if...
- You have no idea where to start
- You've been spinning your wheels on your draft
- You just cannot get to "The End"
- You need a next step, not another idea
The Writers Chair Podcast
AUTHOR-TO-AUTHOR CONVERSATIONS ON CRAFT, PUBLISHING AND GETTING THE THING FINISHED
No polished-guru talk — just working writers being honest about the process.
This is for you if...
- You want to hear how other writers actually get books done
- You want writing advice for your commute or dog walk
- You're interested in the business side, not just the craft
- You like real conversations more than polished advice
The Writers Room
LIVE WRITING SPRINTS. TUESDAYS 7–8.30pm
A live weekly writing sprint, same time every Tuesday, with other writers also trying to finish something. The accountability an email course can’t give you.
This is for you if...
- You know what to write, you just don't sit down and do it
- You work better with other people in the (virtual) room
- You've tried solo accountability and it hasn't stuck
- You want a community of like-minded writers getting their words down
Who's Teaching This Course?
Hey — I’m Dan. I’ve published over 70 books, co-founded a fiction podcast with 12 million downloads, and spent years coaching writers through their first drafts — with an 80% completion rate against an industry average of 13–15%.
But I didn’t start there. I started as a writer who couldn’t finish a chapter without rewriting it six times. Who hit 33,000 words of his first 50,000-word writing challenge and stopped. Who spent months spinning his wheels on the same ten pages, convinced he just didn’t have what it took.
Everything on this page — the course, the podcast, the Writers Room — comes out of what actually changed that for me. Not shortcuts. Not hacks. The actual foundations that finish books.
I built these because I wish someone had handed them to me at the start.
