Now
Updated , from my home in Murfreesboro, Tennessee.
Work
At Story Grid, Shawn Coyne and I help writers build the skills to write books they're proud to publish. We work with writers 1-on-1, in small groups, and through the software Story Grid Dojo.
On the other side of my desk, I run book launches for business and self-help authors. I take on a small number each year, and right now I'm working with authors whose books come out in 2027.
I'm also writing the third edition of Your First 1000 Copies.
Home
We moved to Murfreesboro this year for more space and to be closer to friends. And we're newly empty nesters. Both boys are now in college which is weird and exciting and sad all at the same time.
Body
Still training Brazilian jiu-jitsu and still doing CrossFit. I've added pickleball in as well because I'm in my 40s.
Hands
I started learning how to rebind books. Taking apart a paperback and putting it back together in cloth and board turns out to be exactly the kind of slow, physical work my brain needed.
