The Writing Gym

Annalisa Summea founded the Writing Gym as a place for authors to learn and perfect their craft skills and to discover how to create the author’s lifestyle for themselves. She provides one-on-one training in all aspects, including writing and completing your book, editing and revision, submission, marketing, and going on to your next book. She has been mentoring me for the past five years or so. You can contact her at Date With the Muse.

Here is a selection of books she helped other authors bring to the world.
