Joshua S. Porter is the author of seven novels, three works of nonfiction, hundreds of songs and sermons, and several comic books. His music has appeared on the Billboard Top 200, and his award-winning books have appeared on several Amazon bestseller lists. For more than 20 years, Josh has worked within the evolving landscape of DIY book releasing and with agents and editors in the publishing industry. 

With more than a decade of experience writing class curriculum and teaching courses on art and philosophy, Josh has designed an eight-week writing cohort designed to help aspiring and established writers create and solidify their own approach to writing, hone their craft, and learn with and from other writers. 

Josh believes in the power of writing to provoke, inspire, encourage, and offend. This 12-week cohort is designed to engage aspiring and established writers in conversation, share their week, and draw on the experience of an experienced, published author. The program consists of 12 weekly group sessions with Josh and other writers as the group works its way through a curriculum designed by Josh. 12 weekly one-on-one sessions with Josh to discuss work and method. And weekly reading and writing assignments to share and discuss in each session. 

This cohort is not about networking or building a platform, but about the art and craft of all kinds of writing, whether it’s fiction, nonfiction, lyrics, sermons, journalism, or teaching.
