I feel your pain because I walked in your shoes twelve years ago. I worked really hard at my craft but got overwhelmed by all of the conflicting information out there and different rules about what you should and shouldn’t do.
I wasted a lot of time trying out different techniques and collecting rejections, and ended up becoming disillusioned. But it all turned around for me when I figured out THREE IMPORTANT TRUTHS about succeeding as a fiction author:
These revelations lead me to secure a publishing contract with one of the Big 5 publishing houses in America. |

After teaching the writing craft to aspiring writers just like you for close to a decade, and seeing many dozens of my clients gain the confidence and skills needed to move past their own blocks and finally publish their stories, I believe deep in my soul that my own revelations can help others.
There’s one thing I’ve learnt through teaching thousands of aspiring writers, and that is, very few authors manage to succeed on their own. We come to a point where there is a gap between learning and succeeding. We are overwhelmed by all the things we’re supposed to do to make a story engaging, have studied the craft through courses and reading, but need more personalised help to take that next step.
Case in point below.

In the beginning
Before I ever thought to join a writer's group, I was a rather isolated writer who desperately dreamed of having my work published. I spent years writing new (very messy) manuscripts and receiving rejection after rejection. I was too shy to really share my work with anybody and too embarrassed to even tell anybody that I dreamed of being published.
The change
I finally realised I had to get serious about developing my writing skills if I wanted to be taken seriously as a writer. It initially felt terrifying to share my work, but I learned so much and really feel like sharing my work with Sandy Vaile was the turning point in my journey to becoming a published author. I suddenly had another writer who was more experienced than me and knew more about editing, formatting and the publishing industry. I highly recommend finding support if you are struggling by yourself.
A multi-published author
It felt incredible to finally receive my first publishing contract. My first novel came out in early 2019, followed by another in 2020 and my third in September 2021. I feel very lucky for all the help and advice from Sandy and her critiquing group (The Novelists' Circle) because it has enabled me to go as far as I have.
In the beginning I didn't dare dream that I would be represented by a top literary agent and multi-published!
