Outliers is a group of working, best-selling. award-winning authors who give back to the writing community by sharing knowledge and experience through various learning opportunities. The primary goal is to teach the craft of writing and storytelling to those who have a story to tell but don’t know where or how to begin, as well as those who already write but wish to improve their skills. If your project is non-fiction, our team can help with the organization and writing of your manuscript by adding storytelling elements to your work.

 

Outlier events and programs are online through interactive ZOOM sessions, so are convenient. The goal is to bring affordable writing conferences and instruction directly into your home.

Outliers’ instructors are experienced authors, experts in various fields, and professionals with knowledge to share. As working writers, we know the hard work required to create a publishable story, or work of non-fiction. Each of us has been there. Each of us received help from other instructors and writers. That’s the way this community works. 

 

OUTLIERS is continuing that process in a unique, affordable, and convenient way.
