Real Confidence

Hey there!

I’m Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer, and through FictionCourses.com I take authors who are struggling to master the tools and knowledge of their author journey and help them become confident in writing their books.

As an author myself (19 published books and counting), I’ve invested in countless books, courses, and summits on writing. Some were good; others not-so-much.

I know what it’s like to have information over-promised and under-delivered, which is why I make every training at FictionCourses.com worth your investment in it.

I’ve been featured on Joanna Penn’s The Creative Penn podcast, Mark Dawson’s Self Publishing Show, Jane Friedman’s blog, and more.

My signature course, Fiction Writing: American Indians, is equipping authors to write authentic stories that honor Native American history and culture. My Dictation Bootcamp for Authors takes you through the process of mastering dictation through easy exercises that lead you to become the master of your fictional worlds.

Thousands of authors are learning from the knowledge I make available through FictionCourses.com.

“I like Sarah’s straightforward style and think she is an asset to all new authors.”

— Elizabeth Ford, author

“Sarah was so encouraging. It really felt like being taught by a friend.”

— Janine, author

“Sarah was more than training us, instructing us, she was a guide, mentor, and instructor with such a lovely, calm, and positive approach. I found her to be wonderfully supportive.”

— AnnieFH, author
