Hi everyone!
I’m considering joining the Author Conservatory, and I was interested to know if any of you are in it? If so, what are you thoughts on the program? Things I should know? Pros and Cons? Is there anything you wished you’d known before you joined, but didn’t?
For me, one of the things I’m struggling with is that I have already written 2 books in a series I’m in love with. I really want to finish my series, but now I’m scared that doing Author Conservatory will expose that I have a weak concept, or something. I really want to publish this series somehow, because I truly believe it’s an epic and beautiful story. But what if they tell me to scrap it and move on?
On the other hand, it feels like Author Conservatory could really help me with learning how to write on deadline, learning the business side of things, and give the professional feedback I need. It’s basically everything I want a collage course to be, but way better, because it specialises in what I’m passionate about.
Any thoughts or advice?
Looking forward to your responses! Feel free to tag anyone else you know who might have done this program.

That’s my wish to create.I’ve never been part of the Author Conservatory, but I’ve heard a ton of good things about it 🙂

www.jennaterese.comOh no! I see your dilemma. I am not on the Author Conservatory, but I can offer some advice on the current dilemma.
While it would really stink to find a major weakness in your story, it is much better to find it and revise it rather than publish a story that could be better. As writers, we want our book children to be the best they can be, so getting some expert advice could potentially allow the book to impact souls even deeper.
That’s a beautiful thing! 😍 Even if the process hurts. 🙁
Revisions are possible! If you believe it truly a good story, then I would hold onto that hope and take the leap to strengthen your career. Growth hurts sometime, but you will be glad that you grew in the long run. *hugs*
I wish you the greatest of luck!

Sorry, I haven’t been in the Author Conservatory, but I’ve heard of it and it sounds good. I can’t give you any advice on that, unfortunately.

That’s their offical page.
Thank you so much for your encouragement!
No worries — I didn’t know about it until last Thursday either😂

That’s my wish to create.They’re basically a writer’s alternative to collage. They teach you specified skills about writing and business skills specific to writing and in general so that you can have a sustainable career as an author. If you want to know more, you should read the link I sent you — it’s pretty informative!😊

That sounds awesome though.

Fork the GorkNope. I think I’m with @godlyfantasy12 on this one. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard of the Author Conservatory until this post. Interesting.
You will love what you spend time with.
Wow, all of us are really not helpful today 😛 I’m actually planning on joining Author in August (Lord willing), but this is something I’ve wondered… um, I have no idea? But I’m very interested to see the answers to this! Also, I’m on the Young Writer’s Workshop, so if you want, I can ask Brett Harris or somebody on there to see the answer to this question. Yeah. Well, I hope you get better answers from others than the ones you’ve received so far! 😉
Well, if I do join, I hope to see you there!😃 Don’t ask Brett or anyone anything yet, though — I’m working through my own concepts right now and trying to refine them😊.

That’s my wish to create.Not a part of it (yet), but I’ve done a ton of research on it, talked to multiple students who are in it, talked aback and forth with some of their admissions people. . .
And it is fantastic. I’ve heard so many good things about it and am planning on joining in the somewhat near future.
So I’d say, 100%, at least submit an application so you can talk to them about it.

Of course!
