When I was completing my first draft of my first novel, I looked at it and thought, I have no idea what to do next. I turned to the Internet and got lost in a rabbit hole of information. Then I stumbled on Mary's program. In her program, I decided to start a new novel using her Four Notebooks Method…in a brand new genre I never thought I could do. That manuscript landed me a literary agent on the one year anniversary of when I started the program, and now A Deadly Game will be out in December 2023.

I have written more than ever with Mary's Book Incubator™ program. She is accessible and kind and real, but she is also motivating and smart. It's an incredibly refreshing combination. I sometimes look down at my handwritten writing and think, ‘Wow, I can't believe I am actually doing this.’”

After spending 30 years dreaming of becoming an author, I’m finally making that dream a reality by working with the genius that is Mary Adkins. Mary's approach is fresh, exciting, and like nothing you’ve experienced before. If you’ve been searching for a writing coach, stop now. Mary is all you need.
