Final Session of Alchemy (and a 50-hour sale!)

{Save a whopping $40 on course registration with the code TRANSFORM. Details below.}

A little over two years ago I launched my first online course, Alchemy: The Art & Craft of Writing. Since then, I added two additional courses (and an ebook) to the Alchemy line-up (Alchemy Daily and Alchemy Inspiration: Start Writing). It's been a really good run, especially since I had no idea -- back when I launched the first course -- how many people would sign-up.

I knew I'd created great material by bundling together the techniques, resources, and inspiration that had dramatically changed my own writing. I was excited to share all of that with you, and I had a fairly good idea that some of you were looking for such a thing -- I just had no idea if it would take off! Ten course sessions, one ebook, and hundreds of students later, I'm thrilled to look back and know that you were pickin' up what I was layin' down.

The next -- and final -- session of Alchemy: The Art & Craft of Writing starts next Monday (Oct. 29). This will be the last time I offer this course online for the foreseeable future, quite possibly forever. I have no plans to run it again, even though I still love the content and believe in its power to help people take their writing deeper and wider than ever before. But it's time to make way for some exciting new things to be born. (Over the next few months I'll be diving into a process of soul searching, creative dreaming, and business brainstorming, sussing out what's calling to me and then working to make those big ideas happen. No promises yet, but I think I can see some some new courses, a book or two, and maybe even some photo+words combos shimmering on the horizon.) 

If you've been thinking about signing-up for Alchemy: The Art & Craft of Writing and haven't done so yet, now's the time. Class starts October 29 and runs through December 14. This session includes six full weeks of course content, plus one "open" week in the middle (as a sort of mid-semester break) during the week of U.S. Thanksgiving. You'll receive an ebook (100+ pages!) of the lessons, inspiration, and writing prompts and exercises. You'll also get my in-depth feedback on up to 500 words of your writing.

Alchemy is the process of transforming something common into something special. In the Alchemy e-course, we transform words (common enough things) into your stories (special things, indeed). You can read all about the course over here. (Make sure you check out the fabulous guests who will be sharing their wisdom and inspiration with us. I'm honored to bring you interviews and guest posts from Brené Brown, Marianne Elliott,  Liz Lamoreux, Sue William Silverman, Susan G. Wooldridge, and Meredith Winn.)

Thank you to everyone who has been part of Alchemy during the past two years. I'm so grateful to have worked with you, and I'm really looking forward to the new ways we'll work and write together in the future.

{*psst....If you're reading this before the "official" start of the sale, go ahead & use that TRANSFROM code now! I'm about to take a nap before going to roller derby practice, which is where I'll be at 9:59pm tonight, so consider this the unofficial start of the sale. Go for it!}
