In 1959 Vince Lombardi took over the head coach position of the less-than-stellar Green Bay Packers. During one practice, Lombardi got so frustrated with the lackluster effort of the team he had them gather around him and he picked up a football. He said, “Let’s start at the beginning. This is a football.”

We all need to learn the fundamentals. Then we can branch out and try new things, break new ground, spread our wings and soar.

My passion is to teach writers the fundamentals of fiction writing and publishing. And then to teach them how to break the bounds of those fundamentals and create something unique and captivating. Something that will change lives and get people talking.

Please join me for the Not Yet Published Novelist Clinic at the July 31 – August 3 Greater Philadelphia Christian Writers Conference. I’ve published seven novels and one novella myself; I’ve taught numerous workshops and seminars in a variety of settings. I’ve coached writers to be the best they can be. I’d love to work with you on your novel and get it ready for publication, make it something editors and agents will want, even fight over. In the six hours we will work together you’ll learn new techniques you can use immediately to improve your writing, to bring it alive and make it jump off the page. We’ll have a blast.

If you’ve completed a manuscript or are currently working on a project or started one but can’t seem to get it going in the right direction this clinic is for you. But you’ll need to submit your application online no later than July 10 for the opportunity to be chosen as one of the six participants in this clinic. For more info and the application click here.

What others have said about Mike’s teaching:

I took a seminar class from Mike and was impressed with the level of both availability and expertise. Mike got down to the nuts and bolts challenging us to look beyond the norm to the “possible.” I felt stimulated to write more creatively, and outside my own box, seeing that the “possible” might just be deeper inside myself.  One of the big take-aways from his class was what impact our words have on our readers–how we can touch those deeper spots within each person–ultimately for the good. I recommend taking a class from Mike. I’m looking forward to gleaning more from this inspiring and inspired teacher. –Donnalynn D.

I loved Mike’s class. I learned so much from the workshop. I’m applying what he taught me in my critique group. One of things he taught was get into each character’s head.  I highly recommend his workshop!! –Deborah C.
