Who are we, and What are we about?
We are first and foremost authors. We love story, and we feel we have stories and information to share with the world.
But second, we are teachers. We want to teach other writers to improve their craft and write their stories. Then, we want them to create and package their stories in a way that attracts readers and can lead to author success, no matter what that looks like to them.
And finally, we want to enable authors to create campaigns that get their books selling so they can be consumed by readers in a variety of formats and throughout the world.
We want to help other authors, and make the world a better place through stories, both ours and those of other writers. Join Us!
The Plot Geek Academy Team
Jana S. Brown
Founder, Educator, and Queen of Baked Goods
Jana is an author, editor, book coach, and educator who has spoken at some of the top conferences in the country.
Since she was very young, Jana knew she wanted to be two things: a mom and a writer. She is now both.
She's also a champion maker of all baked goods, and the custom cake supplier to family, friends, and those who offer her money.
CJ Anaya
Founder, Educator, and the self-declared Goddess of Brownies
CJ Anaya is an author, book coach, and educator who has worked with some of the top names in the publishing industry.
Once a singer/songwriter, CJ was conned by a friend into believing if you could write a song, you could write a book.
As a result, she makes and consumes brownies to beat writers block, and battles ADHD with sugar, caffeine and therapy.
Troy "Plot Dude" Lambert
Founder, Educator, and frequent consumer of baked goods.
Troy Lambert is an author, book coach, and educator also known as The Plot Dude, and is a renowned speaker and teacher.
Troy started writing at age six, and got his first typewriter at eight. He loves to study the science of story in his spare time.
Because he also battles writer's block with sweets, he's joined Plot Geek Academy in hope of an eternal source for his fix.
Out entire team is made up of working writers. We also accept editing and book coaching clients. You can learn more about our services here, including rates and how to book time with each of us. If you need help getting in touch with any one of us, please reach out to info@theplotacademy.com.
More importantly, who are our dogs?
Sadie
Sable is a sheep-a-doodle who takes her job as a herding dog very seriously. She herds the cats. She herds the people. Sometimes she even herds the words.
Spike
Spike is a lovable pug whose favorite past time is befriending grasshoppers and eating them whole after luring them into his kennel. He can often be found digging in the trash, attempting to eat plastic forks, and belly flopping on our laps for maximum impact.
McClane
McClane is a German Shedder Shepherd who, although he weighs 95 pounds, honestly believes he is a lap dog. He is a traditionalist, barking at the mailman and keeping the house safe from falling leaves and random wind gusts.
