BECOME A WHOLEHEARTED AUTHOR
Begin Your Author’s Journey
I’m Robin Van Auken, author of traditionally published books and independently published novels. My mission is to learn new things and share what works, especially with writers. I’m researching and sharing my notes here and on the Wholehearted Author learning platform, which is free to join.
My passion for learning new things can benefit you because I share what works. I’ve spent thousands of hours reading and curating books, journal articles, websites, and videos on writing, publishing, and promoting. My courses and guides are designed to help you take control, be happy and productive, and crash through the barriers to your success. Read my blog, listen to podcasts, download my workbooks, and watch a few videos.
My resources and experience are yours for free when you join my circle of writers and authors!
Ready for a Challenge?
Have even more fun when you accept the 21-Day Writing Sprint Challenge. This process is one I used every semester with my college students, so I know it can kickstart your creativity and introduce structure to your writing schedule. When you join my Circle of Writers & Authors, you’ll receive FREE writing resources, and you’ll sign up for my newsletter. I will not sell your information or spam you. I will send you updates on new articles and podcasts I’ve created and on projects I’m working on. You can unsubscribe at anytime. Read my Privacy Policy here.
