Our goal

The Author Conservatory is a three-year college alternative program that seeks to raise up the next C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien. In the program, students receive intense one-on-one coaching in the writing craft and business skills they need to build a sustainable author career. It was started by professional authors who saw the limitations of traditional creative writing programs and wanted to create a better route. However, many students who dream of attending the program struggle to afford it. By donating to this scholarship, you're helping aspiring storytellers gain the skills they need to impact readers and make a difference.

We are so blessed to see this scholarship fund get started! This started as an idea at the YWW Conference in 2024. We started setting aside money for it and researching how to make it work. We're so happy to see young authors receive training, encouragement, and faith driven support.

I hope this gift can pass on the blessing to another young writer, like the Conservatory gave to my daughter.

I pray this scholarships helps someone follow their dreams like the Conservatory has already done for me. There will be a harvest, if we don't give up!
