Greg created “The Agile Writer Method” based upon the writings of experts in mythology, screenwriting, psychology and a little project management.
His seminars on the Agile Writer Method have informed and delighted thousands of writers, scholars, and university students. Since 2011, Agile Writer authors have completed dozens of first draft novels, and many published novels.
