Path To Published

Are you serious about getting published?

Do you have a manuscript in production or a completed draft?

Are you able to attend a weekly session?

Then you are invited to apply for the Path to Published (P2P) mentoring program in 2024. Following the extremely successful inaugural P2P program in 2023 with 10 emerging authors, I’m offering the program again! In the P2P group, you will access weekly mentoring to make your writing the best it can be, prepare your work for pitching and get advice on your next steps.

Here’s what you’ll get:

Weekly writing workshops on topics like pitching, writing a synopsis, selecting a publisher, masterly dialogue, completing your book, understanding genre and audience, plotting, approaching agents, using editors and assessors, conquering imposter syndrome and more.
A dedicated group feedback session for your work.
Weekly writing activities/free writing time.
A 1-hour one-on-one session with Sasha for individual advice after your feedback session.
Online group membership for sharing opportunities, achievements and support.

About Me

I’ve been a successful published author for nine years and have written a number of bestselling novels, including Spring Clean for the Peach Queen. I also write for children as Ash Harrier, and since first getting published in 2015, I have released 16 novels. Before becoming an author, I was a university lecturer and copywriter.

I also work as a private writing mentor and workshop presenter. I deliver clarity and strategies for emerging writers of fiction across a range of genres – crime, romance, outback, children’s, YA, paranormal and more. As a writer published variously through indie and mid-sized presses, a ‘big five’ publishing house and via self-publication, I bring broad industry knowledge and advice to writers aiming for publication.

After the final transformative session I felt I could walk away and say I am a writer.

Applying

The P2P program is an application-based group for a small number of writers (no more than 10) aspiring to become published authors in any fiction genre. I will select participants for the program based on their submissions, choosing projects I feel have the greatest publication potential in the current market. Submissions will include your bio, an outline of your project and a writing sample. There is no cost to apply but if selected for the program you will be required to make payment within 10 days. The first offer round takes place at the end of November 2023 and applications are now open.

I have come away from the program feeling both motivated and equipped with the tips and tools to finish my project and eventually approach publishers.

THINGS TO NOTE:

This writing program is not a guarantee of publication! But without a full, strong manuscript, there is no chance of publication. Let me help you get that novel written, polished and ready to pitch.
I do not provide mentoring services for erotica or experimental fiction.
The refund and payment policy is available here.
