Professional Series

I went into the Skeleton Series at Third Coast Literary Press wanting to write a book. I left feeling like I can - and will - write my story (hopefully many more).

Jordan has thoughtfully curated an experience for writers at any level or stage, including anyone who’s simply been curious about writing their own story. The sessions are thought-provoking, educational, and well-paced, with dedicated writing time to put what you’ve learned into practice. I found myself racing back to my room during breaks because I had so much I wanted to test and play with from our sessions.

The authors Jordan brings in to teach offer varied backgrounds, honest insight into their processes, and a real passion for the craft. They make the fundamentals approachable while sharing lessons from their own writing lives. And Jordan is there every step of the way, cheering you on and helping you follow through - she is what makes this experience better.

You can feel the thought and attention she puts into every detail: the instructors, the agenda, the meals, and the useful and fun takeaways. I’m already planning to attend more sessions. If you have the opportunity to go, I highly recommend it! It gave me the confidence and momentum to move from wanting to write to actually writing.
