Ellie Alexander's Author Academy
Online Academy for Aspiring Authors
Courses and coaching to help aspiring authors write, pitch, and market their books on the way toward realizing their dreams of becoming published.
Are you struggling with where to start when it comes to writing? Or maybe you’ve gotten partway through a draft and don’t know what comes next? Perhaps you’ve finished a book and need help navigating the path to publication.
I love teaching and sharing the vast amount of knowledge that I’ve acquired publishing 29 books and counting. I’ve been in your shoes, and I have stacks and stacks of unfinished, terrible, horrible, no good first drafts that will never see the light of day. I’ve taken everything I’ve learned (the good and the bad) and transformed it into a mystery series masterclass. My comprehensive course takes the mystery out of how to craft, edit, and publish a novel with step-by-step videos, tangible assignments and activities, and an engaged and activity private community of writers just like you who will help cheer you on as you pound out that word count.
You can write that novel! It’s time to stop dreaming about finishing the book that’s been taking up space in your head and to start realizing your dream! I’m so excited to help guide and champion you, and can’t wait to see your book on the shelves!

What my course students are saying
"The lessons, worksheets, resources, 'Live' sessions, have helped tremendously. I know my characters so much better. I use a calendar and timeline for pacing and moving the plot forward. I have a notebook for chapter fixes and follow-ups. Recently, I've started the first edit of my draft with my critique group."
