Write of Passage Weekly - Introducing Publish in a Day

Hey , 

Imagine you’re a fan in the stands. Cheering, booing, or munching on popcorn. Watching the game is fun, but you have no impact on the outcome. 

Now, imagine you step off the sidelines and onto the field. You feel the bright lights and hear the roars of the crowd. Your pulse quickens. The pressure’s on! And here’s the difference: suddenly, you’re in control. You’re making plays, finding flow. You’re now a player in the game. 

Fan vs. player. Active vs. passive. The same difference exists on the Internet. 

The Internet is like one worldwide game. And there are no try-outs or gatekeepers. People share their ideas and knowledge freely. The game is free to play for everyone, and the upside of playing is infinite.

This is The Great Online Game.

But here’s the thing: 99% of people are sitting in the stands. They flee the bright lights and stay lurking in the shadows. Scrolling and clicking, observing from afar. Always consuming, never creating. 

But not you. 

You’re more than just a scroller. You’re bursting with unique ideas. You have an expertise that sets you apart. You could impact dozens, hundreds, thousands of people with what you have to say. Deep down, you know you’re a part of the 1% with the courage and conviction to speak up — you just need a push to get you there. Something to get you out of the stands and into the game. 

This may be the intervention you’ve been looking for. 

Introducing Publish in a Day, a hands-on workshop that will take you from zero to published in one afternoon. You’ll go from the seed of an idea at 11 am (Eastern) to having published a piece you’re proud of by 6 pm.

Are you done being a fan in the stands? Are you ready to get in the game?

Is Publish in a Day Right For You? 

Maybe you’ve written online before, but you’ve fallen off the publishing wagon and can’t seem to get back on.

Maybe you want to write, but you’re stuck in Google docs, struggling to piece your ideas together into something publishable. 

Maybe you don’t even consider yourself a “writer,” but you’re filled with expertise you know is worth sharing. 

Whatever may be keeping you on the sidelines, you know it’s time for a change. You know you need to stop scrolling and start creating. You’re ready for that glorious moment you step into the game and start making plays, finally exercising your full potential. Publish in a Day will get you there.

What Students Are Saying about Publish in a Day 

“This was the day I needed to finally publish my first article. One that I’m proud of, too!” – Bennett Jacobs

 

“This writing process was phenomenal in that we received immediate feedback from peers about what to write about and how to improve our writing as the day progressed.” – Dave Koolbeck

 

“I did more writing, in a shorter time, than I've done in many years. And it was of a quality I'm proud of! The community of writers inspired me, and the time limits kept me accountable. If this is how I write going forward, I feel like nothing can stop me.” – Neha Patel 

The Great Online Game belongs to those who create. And making the leap from consumer to creator has never been easier. In fact, you can do it in one afternoon.

Join us on Friday, January 19, to publish in a day. 

To stepping off the sidelines,
