"After years of helping writers get their stories published, I distilled my proven process into this remarkable app"

Rob Parnell

Rob Parnell

Bestselling author and writing coach, guiding 100,000+ new writers to publication success

When I first started writing, I faced the same doubts and frustrations as every new writer—wondering if my stories were good enough, struggling to finish drafts, and feeling lost about how to actually get published. Over the years, I dedicated myself to learning not just the craft of storytelling, but the business of selling stories. Through trial, error, and a lot of persistence, I cracked the code and began selling my work regularly.

I realized that most writing advice out there was either too vague or too complicated for beginners. That’s why I wrote my Amazon bestselling book, 'The Easy Way To Write Short Stories That Sell,' to give writers a clear, actionable path from blank page to publication. The response was overwhelming—thousands of writers told me it was the breakthrough they needed.

But I wanted to make the process even more accessible and interactive. That’s why I created this app: to guide you step-by-step through writing, editing, and selling your own short stories in just ten days. Every lesson, exercise, and market update is based on what’s worked for me and for the writers I’ve coached over the past two decades.

My hope is that this app will give you the confidence, skills, and insider knowledge to not only finish your stories, but to see them published and paid for. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a writer, I’m here to show you it’s possible—one story at a time.
