Apex is a community of writers dedicated to publishing. I can’t explain how badly I needed this. As an aspiring author, there is a glut of gurus out there pointing in every direction based on what has worked for them or misinterpreting what they think worked for others. David leads a group of pros who not only know the many ways to succeed, but are happy to explain the hows and whys the different ways that work for different writers. And the personal support and relationships I’m building with like-minded people is incalculably important to my career.

“David Farland’s writing courses gave me the tools to build my writing career. I wrote the first chapter of *The Brass Queen* as a worldbuilding exercise in the *Story Puzzle* class. Dave’s kind words of encouragement inspired me to expand that exercise into an entire novel. As I worked through Dave’s courses, I learned how to create unforgettable characters, thrilling plotlines, and emotionally resonant themes. I also gained an insider’s perspective of the publishing industry that helped me to become a traditionally published author. Dave shared the tools to build my rocket ship and pointed me toward the stars. I couldn’t have wished for a better launch!”

“Apex has transformed the way I look at my writing. I am surrounded by writers with goals and dreams as big as mine. We learn together, we write together, and we encourage each other. Not only do we have access to Dave Wolverton, but he also brings us access to others who can help us fill our gaps about both writing tradecraft and the writing business. Apex is THE game changer.”

“After spending several years reading writing books and gleaning what I could from free writing resources online, I learned enough to get two honorable mentions from Writers of the Future for my short stories. But I was still lost on how to complete my novel. David Farland’s online courses have been invaluable in teaching me the techniques and mental processes needed to craft an entire novel. And the wonderful APEX members in my study group are both inspiring and helpful! If you find yourself in need of a boost to take your writing to the next level, APEX is a great place to start.”

“Apex Writers is unlike any writers group I’ve belonged to. Between the fantastic library of workshops and Dave Farland’s multi-weekly live sessions, my writing game is continually improving. I find the group’s dynamic a great mix of friendly professionalism that’s perfect.”

“Apex has been a fantastic resource. I have loved getting to take Dave’s writing classes at my own pace. Even more, I love the community of authors in Apex and all the ways they encourage me to grow and succeed.”
