There’s no doubt that the author journey can be lonely & overwhelming at times.
Whether you are pursuing traditional or self-publishing, let’s face it: we can’t navigate this journey alone … especially if we hope to write books that can make a difference in God’s kingdom.
this is why we are thrilled to announce the launch of:
AUTHOR ADVENTURE
We developed this young writers program after training & mentoring fiction writers over the past decade and hearing the same desires and struggles repeated among young and aspiring authors.
By joining the Author Adventure, you don’t need to repeat the same mistakes as authors who have gone before you.
No longer will you need to struggle to figure out how this whole publishing process works–or why you may only hear crickets after releasing a new book.
We have created a young writers program that bundles the education we have received from over a decade of reading writing craft books, taking workshops, mentoring writers, and attending (and teaching at) writing conferences. The education offered in Author Adventure makes it the ideal supplement for a creative writing homeschool curriculum.
You will save time, money, & years of trial-and-error by following tried-and-true methods on how to …
- Write a quality fiction manuscript that sells
- Deliver an emotionally gripping storyline that resonates with readers
- Build a platform geared toward your target readership
- Create your author brand and reflect that brand through all avenues
- Effectively promote your book
- Build a sustainable long-term author career
- And so much more!
“[Victoria and Livy] both really care about their mission to bring godly stories into the world, and I could tell they genuinely love to help and support other writers on their journeys, too! Victoria and Livy are experienced and talented authors with a wealth of information … I learned so much in just a short hour with Victoria and Livy, and I came away with a feeling of having real friends and a true team in my corner, cheering me on and rooting for me every step of the way on my author journey!”
— JENNIE, Attendee of Glory Writers Self-Publishing Webinar
AUTHOR ADVENTURE is a place for kingdom writers to belong.
This young writers program is a launching pad that will show you how to move from dreaming about publishing to watching those dreams unfold.

Whether you are …
- A homeschooled writer seeking a homeschool curriculum

- A seasoned twentysomething self-published fiction author
- Hoping to build a long-term career as a traditionally published author with a major publisher
This is your opportunity to build lifelong friendships, make valuable connections, & receive essential training that will lead you to your desired destination.
You can secure your slot in this young writers program–and have LIFETIME access–with a one-time purchase of $3000 (open enrollment available now!)
“The webinar was helpful for me in terms of how to self-publish, specifically what platform to upload to and publish with. … The information provided was a taste of the pie and now I want an entire slice!”
Dorothy Carlson, Attendee of Glory Writers Self-Publishing Webinar
