Transform Your Writing From Telling to Showing

Stop spinning your wheels with generic writing advice that doesn’t address your specific pages.

You’ve read the books. You know you should “show, don’t tell.” But when you look at your own manuscript, you can’t see what needs fixing. Sound familiar?


What Makes This Coaching Different

Unlike writing books or generic feedback, this is manuscript-specific coaching that identifies exactly what’s happening on your pages:

  • Spot passive voice and weak verbs you’ve been missing
  • Transform static descriptions into dynamic scenes that put readers in your characters’ bodies
  • Stay in scene longer instead of jumping to flashbacks and backstory
  • Master point of view transitions that don’t confuse readers
  • Build sustainable writing habits that create momentum

Real Results

“I’ve been on a high since September 2nd. I wrote 5,000 words in three weeks – probably more than I wrote in the entire past year. I literally can’t wait to get back to the house each morning to write.” – Todd G.

“The workshop changed my whole approach to writing. My fears were unfounded, the support and encouragement I got from Seth and my fellow workshop writers were just what I needed to start my transformation into a true writer.”

“The first thing that comes to mind is the passion my fellow workshoppers have for writing. Not only do they have passion for the craft, but they have a passion for genres I’ve either not been exposed to or aren’t interested in. Why is that useful? Because their passion is infectious. I’ve never been a mystery/suspense fan, but in reading some of the authors in our workshop, I’ve come to appreciate it just through seeing how their interest in it has flavored their plotlines, characters and settings. There’s something very valuable in reading and writing outside your comfort zone.”

“I met Seth when he taught a writing class at Stanford. I’d taken many writing classes there trying to figure out what I wanted to write and how to go about it. The problem with classes is that they end after a couple of months and leave you hanging. I was impressed with Seth’s approach to the writing process and his ability as a teacher. After the class ended, I joined his private coaching program.

It’s only because of Seth that I’m still working on my dream to complete a novel. I would’ve given up if I didn’t have him by my side encouraging, supporting and challenging me.”

“The workshop is filled with people that really bring their A game. Nothing makes me work harder for the workshop than knowing that I’m submitting along with some real contenders. Is it a competition? Maybe in some ways, but it never feels that way. Our fellow workshoppers (and myself, obviously) are all really working towards a singular goal: to improve. Sure, there are times with the critiques sting, but it’s never felt condescending or out of malice–the advice has always been directed at elevating our craft. Many times I’ve been miffed over some issues people had about various aspects of a piece I’ve submitted, only later to realize that their honesty was not only on the mark, but really helped me identify potential pitfalls in future submissions. It’s like suddenly I’ve been dropped into a community of people that speak my language.”

“I found Seth’s Workshop after being referred by several friends, all his former Stanford and Harvard students. As a recent retiree, interested in reinventing myself as a writer, I had to get over the fear of actually sitting down to write, knowing it would be read by other writers and my coach, Seth.”
