The Whole Artist Marketing Course

We know research can be tedious and an onslaught of information often has the unintended effect of leaving you overwhelmed and more confused than when you started.

That’s where we come in!

We’ve sifted through the advice and, drawing on real-world experience and a number of resources out there, we’ve put together Writers Homestead. Here, we have all of the important information for you, in a format that’s more palatable than the endless clickhole of the internet, to prevent the moment when you find yourself saying, “I didn’t know I was supposed to do that!”

Most importantly, we focus on teaching you how to be a whole artist. Writing is a huge part of the job, and the first step, but it’s not the whole job.
