Casting in Progress!

A few people have asked why I haven’t announced the experts & guest mentors for the Unleash Your Story retreat yet.

Here’s the truth:
As many of you know, I have a global network of incredible people - from publishing, screenwriting, literary agencies, and TV production - who’ve said they’d love to be part of this retreat.

But I’m not announcing anyone yet because I’m doing this differently.

I’m curating our experts based on who’s in the room.

That means no generic panels.
No one-size-fits-all advice.

Instead, I’ll be matching all attendees with the experts who can speak directly to your goals - whether you’re finishing a novel, pitching a series, building a brand, or just getting your voice back.

Applying now means you’ll help shape the retreat.
You’ll help me choose the exact conversations that need to happen.

And you’ll be part of the most intentional, powerful group I’ve ever gathered!!

Just 15–20 spots.
Payment plans available.
DM me RETREAT and I’ll send you the private page.

Or go straight to www.storycentral.com/retreats if this already feels like a yes.

My dear friends Jesse Albert and Angela Churchill have lost their home and everything they own in the Altadena fires.

Jesse does so much for so many without any spotlight or pushing to be seen for it - truly one of my most generous and amazing best friends.

They haven't asked for it (and would never have), but they need some help and now it’s our turn to help him and his family during this horrendous time.

If you can, even the smallest donation can make a big difference as they start to rebuild their lives.

Every bit of love and support adds up.

Thank you for anything you can contribute, and if you're not in a position to, sharing the link would be a massive help too. ❤️

On January 8, our dear friends Jesse, Angela, Brenden, and Sean face… Brett Lyda needs your support for Help Jesse, Angela, Brendan & Sean After Eaton Tragedy
