The Insider Expert acknowledges the traditional owners of this country, past, present and emerging leaders. We acknowledge the rich cultural diversity and valuable heritage of Aboriginal people that continues today from time immemorial.

Aspiring authors, we’ll let you in on a secret. In the publishing industry, knowledge is power. 

It can feel impossible to turn your idea into a story without someone who has it in your corner. From effective time management strategies for meeting manuscript deadlines to tips for negotiating with editors, agents, and publishers, an insider’s knowledge and experience can help you write better, work smarter and reach your publishing goals faster. Writing skills aside, you’re up against the industry’s many idiosyncrasies and traps, which can only be learned through experience – and too often hold new entrants back from publishing successfully.

Insider knowledge is one of the last things you’ll never find on Google. But you can find it here.

Our mission is to bridge the knowledge gaps between great ideas and incredible books that have long held aspiring authors back

Why take an Insider Experts creative writing course?

Become a Better Writer

Creativity is often considered a ‘blessing’ that we’re lucky to have. But while creative writers might be ‘gifted’ with lots of ideas, turning those into meaningful, marketable and profitable works of literature is a hard-earned skill. Our online creative courses will help you master it, including understanding theme and genre, using narrative structure, and creating life-like characters.

An Expert in Your Corner

Whether you’re at square one or a published author already, this industry is complex and producing a manuscript – let alone getting it published – is daunting. We’ll guide you through every step of the process from idea to promotion, so you can avoid costly mistakes, make better decisions and gain better opportunities for your book.

Better Outcomes for Your Book

Knowing your rights and being confident in negotiations with publishers and agents make a huge difference to your outcomes. Authors get better terms and conditions and better royalty payments when they do. Our courses deep-dive into these publishing industry pain points to help you navigate them with ease, from negotiating a great deal to marketing to reach your target audience.

“I wish they taught this in schools or Uni. Loved it and will use it.”

Anthia Aimee

“Great content. I’m loving the quality of information and finding myself much more inspired. The range of tools are fantastic and the handouts alone would be of great value at the price. After going through the planning phase I have at least 10 more ideas, plus I now have an understanding of effective outlining. Highly recommend this to anyone.”

“These courses offer a comprehensive and engaging path for the journey of a writer from the conception of an idea to the publishing of a book. It is very useful to have all aspects tied together. Both fiction and non-fiction are examined, which is effective as there can be an emphasis on fiction alone. The explanations and examples would engender confidence in those who might feel strongly about writing but hesitate to start.”

Mary Allen

Children’s Author

“I really enjoyed reading through and processing the information in this course. I have had a book in the making which has sat on the shelf for ten years. During this time, I had become very frustrated as I did not have the tools to complete it. The Ultimate Blueprint has now given me everything I need to proceed forward with my book. Each course has provided me with the Blueprint step by step guide, and with this information, I will go on to writing more and more. A big thank you for making this available.”

Jess Doyle

“I like how this step by step course covers all that is required to create not only a compelling storyline but fascinating characters, plots and subplots in any genre you can imagine. It guides you through the labyrinth of the author’s world.”
