APS Author Mastery PLUS
A 12-week virtual writing intensive designed to help you finally sit down, write consistently, and complete a strong, polished chapter — with guidance, accountability, and community support.
Group-Based Author Coaching
APS Author Mastery PLUS is for aspiring and emerging authors who know they have something to say, but need structure, support, and accountability to actually get the words on the page. Across 12 weeks, you’ll learn foundational writing skills while actively working on one complete chapter of your book or anthology contribution.
Each session blends teaching, guided exercises, and feedback opportunities so you’re not just learning concepts — you’re applying them to your own work in real time.
- Discover your true author voice and gain confidence in how you tell your story.
- Identify and overcome internal hindrances like fear, perfectionism, and self-doubt.
- Recognize and resolve external stumbling blocks such as time, distractions, and lack of support.
- Learn how to structure a chapter that flows, connects, and keeps readers engaged.
- Receive guidance on revising, tightening, and polishing your chapter.
- Complete a strong draft of one chapter you can build on — or submit for future anthology opportunities.
*Once enrolled, you’ll receive the class schedule, session links, and details on how to prepare your ideas for your chapter.*
Your Pathway as an APS Author
APS Author Mastery PLUS is designed to get you writing, keep you accountable, and help you complete a powerful chapter. For those who are ready to take the next step, APS Author Mastery ELITE builds on this work with a full anthology experience that includes publishing, author education, and recognition.
Many authors will:
- Start with APS Author Mastery PLUS to complete and refine their chapter.
- Then move into APS Author Mastery ELITE to publish that chapter as part of a collaborative book, receive deeper author education, and be honored as an APS author.
If you’re unsure whether PLUS, ELITE, or another APS program is the best fit, we’re here to help you decide based on where you are in your author journey.
