Check Out What People Are Saying! 

A couple of years ago, I knew that I needed to develop skills to create more "interesting" characters. I found a course with Devlin Blake. It was a delight! Currently, I'm enrolled in Devlin's subscription group- Write-the-Right Stuff. It includes all kinds of courses, including, but not limited to, World Building, Plot Your Novel, Choosing the Book Genre, How to Name Characters, Creating Compelling Characters. It's been a terrific experience for me! There's also opportunities to engage with others and Devlin through the community group. Check it out

Frequently Asked Questions

I have both paypal and stripe, so credit cards are accepted.

The live sessions last an hour, featuring AI training and a Q&A. Feel free to ask any writing questions.

No worries! Sessions are recorded for later listening. Can't attend but have a question? Send it in. I'll answer it anonymously if you ask. You can listen later.

The group is strictly for current members. Apprentices, magicians and spellcasters share a group so we can all learn from each other.

The good news is this is a self directed, self paced text based program so you can study at your own pace and in the context of your own life on your favorite device. But you can write a book whether you have an hour a day, or even just an hour a week.

Good question. I work with both, but Novel Writing Alchemy is for novels only, not nonfiction. It could work for memoirs open to a novel approach.

Yes. Inside the facebook group where apprentices, magicians and spellcasters hang out, you will be able to ask questions and have me coach, as well as your fellow classmates give you advice. Even if you have some questions that we covered during group coaching, I will try my best to answer them in the confines of facebook.

You’re always welcome to post your writing in the group for feedback.

Stay as long as you want with your price locked in. You'll get all future updates and training. Many founding members are still with us.

Cancel anytime with a prorated guarantee. No future billing and keep benefits until the current cycle ends. It's simple and fair.

Mostly text-based courses with some videos, accessible on any device. Calls are on Zoom; camera optional. Questions can be typed or sent early. Write your book with MS Word or Google Docs, which is free and auto-backs up.

This program blends self-publishing tips and AI writing tools. Learn to publish and use AI to improve your writing. I'll guide you to write a book readers will love.

I don't believe in deadlines. Whether you write a book in 6 months or longer, it's fine. The program is flexible to fit your pace and life.     

Coaching sessions are small, sometimes with extra sessions. Many watch replays or send questions instead of attending live. Sessions happen even if just one person shows up and are recorded.

I understand you're juggling work, family, and life. My courses fit your busy schedule, helping you improve your writing without taking over your life. Write your book your way, on your time.

This program is for new writers focusing on their first or second adult genre fiction. I'll guide you, even if you only have a vague story idea and are unsure of the genre.

Not at all. All you really need is a love of reading and stories. If you have that, I can teach you to write a book that your readers will love.

I cover major genres like romance, horror, fantasy, and sci-fi. Not suited for literary, nonfiction, YA, or children's books.
