Writing Webinars

Welcome!

Writing a book is a journey. One that can take years. Most successful, published authors spend years writing, working on their craft, and honing their skills before their story becomes a book and the book hits the shelves. While publishing unicorns do exist, they are few and far between. A compelling story is a recipe of emotion, tension, interiority, layered storytelling, and structure before it comes to life.

To help writers along in their writing journey, I periodically release webinars on various aspects of telling a good story. These go hand-in-hand with the wealth of information that is provided on The Shit No One Tells You About Writing podcast.

Here’s a complete list of upcoming live webinars that you can register for, as well as past ones available for purchase.

Fine print: CeCe is a nerd with a knack for dissecting stories! She is skilled at breaking down storytelling patterns and teasing out best practices for storytellers of all genres in a fun, accessible way. What she’s not skilled at: technology. Therefore, due to systemic limitations, we are not able to offer refunds for webinars purchased through this website. All sales are final. While the goal is to keep classes live indefinitely, your subscription will guarantee you access for 1 year as of your sign-up date.

Testimonials

“Cece’s enthusiasm for the craft of writing is infectious. After a class you want to go write or rewrite and apply what you’ve learned… immediately.”

Sarah A.

“CeCe Lyra is a master storyteller with the ability to dissect complex structure and break it into bite size pieces for writers to digest. Her Writing Emotions class elevated my understanding of how to intertwine this important element in a way that elevated my line-level writing beyond anything I could have imagined.”

Heather H. Cincinnati, Ohio

“I have had the privilege of taking three of CeCe’s classes: Writing Emotion, Writing Tension, and Writing Interiority. I have learned so much about how to write better and edit stronger from these classes. My absolute favorite was Writing Emotion, where I gained so much knowledge on how to make sure I’m placing emotion in the right places, and making my characters dynamic with how they react, think, and feel. Overall, I’ve taken so much from CeCe’s educational opportunities. My writing would not be where it is without her, and I owe her so many thank you’s for helping me achieve my publishing goals!”

Hannah S. Marysville, WA

“I’ve been writing and coaching/editing for 30 years — including attaining an MFA and participation in what was once dubbed “Portland’s Hottest Writing Group.” Cece Lyra’s webinars are among the most valuable asset to a writer’s investment in craft that I’ve encountered.”

Suzy V. Portland, Oregan

“My writing becomes elevated after every course I take with Cece. She shares knowledge, industry insights, and experience, shows why it’s important, and always has perfect examples to illustrate her points. I feel mentally energized every time.”
