Our mission is your publishing success.
Whether via our internationally acclaimed writing workshops, webinars, Inner Circle program, or a wide array of editorial services, we are known for our deep, thorough, and challenging approach to craft--and for helping thousands of writers reach their creative and professional goals.
Coming Up…
Though of course we want ALL aspects of our story to dazzle, voice and viewpoint are often the elements that excite industry gatekeepers the most—and make the book indelible and resonant to readers long after they’ve finished the story. A strong synthesis of the two—voice as the expression of personality in words and viewpoint as the connective tissue between character and reader—is essential to giving the reader the deepest, most meaningful experience of your work.
In this two-part deluxe webinar, we’ll take a deep dive into crafting the voice and viewpoint of our stories through exercises, mentor texts, and lively discussion. Come prepared to dig in and make tremendous leaps forward.

"I highly recommend Lorin's services to anyone who wants to take his or her writing to a new level. Lorin's expert advice and editorial comments pushed my manuscript from good to sellable. The result? A two-book deal at auction to Scholastic!"

BREAKOUT NOVEL
"Don Maass's Breakout Novel Intensive was a life-changer. In one week, I learned more than I ever had in the two years it took to earn my MFA, and at a fraction of the cost. I plan to return again and again to these workshops. Thank you to the entire Free Expressions team for the best writing week ever."

STORY DEVELOPMENT
"When I signed up for a one-on-one weekend with Lorin, I had no idea she offered so much more than manuscript revision. She knew my story, my characters, and the heart of my story with such clarity and depth. With Lorin's intellect, love of story, and professional integrity, run don't walk to sign up."
