So, who is your teacher?
I'm an award-winning author. Creating engaging characters and crafting compelling plots is what I do for a living. My books - historical novels and thrillers - have been published by major New York publishers to wide acclaim, and over half a million copies have been sold worldwide. I also co-wrote the screenplay for the feature film "Saving Dinah." I'm represented by Writers House, one of the largest literary agencies in the world.
So I speak to you as writer to writer, teaching the techniques you need to craft a book that can compete in the marketplace. I know what agents and publishers are looking for, what they want - and don't want.

I'm an acclaimed writing coach and a frequent presenter at international writers' conferences. Through my master classes and online programs I've launched many writers on the path to success, and nothing makes me happier than cheering the publication of their books:
"Barbara's wise words constantly guide my way." - Bestselling mystery author Robert Rotenberg
"I am forever grateful for Barbara's wise, pragmatic, and gracious mentoring." - Debut novelist Christine Higdon

There are no rules in writing. Well, except this one: "Thou shalt not bore."
But although there are no hard rules, there are principles that have shaped the art of storytelling for centuries. I apply these time-tested criteria about plot, character, and style (which led to the international success of my own novels) so you can strategically apply them to your writing.
Writing a novel is a fulfilling adventure. If you have a story to tell, I'll help you tell it and share it with the world.
