Workshop Description: Before you turn the page into a new year, join Audrey Hughey for a cozy, practical session designed to help you close out 2025 so you can step into 2026 with clarity and purpose. During this hands-on workshop, you’ll identify what matters most to finish the year strong, organize the admin side of your author business, and create a streamlined roadmap for 2026 that supports your writing goals while making space for the rest of your life.
You’ll leave with:
- A completed year-end admin checklist
- Reflection prompts to capture your wins and lessons
- A working 12-month author plan for the year ahead
- A guided workbook to walk you through your review and planning process
Bring your favorite notebook, a warm drink, and be ready to plan with intention and joy.
Bio: Writing became my passion from a young age, my notebooks quickly filling with adventurous high fantasy and science fiction stories. What started as fiction writing evolved to consist mostly of report writing and formal business communication during my fourteen years of active and reserve duty in the United States Army.
While pursuing my Bachelor of Arts in English with a concentration in Writing, I began contributing regularly to local magazines and first saw my byline in print in July of 2015.
Since attaining my B.A. in English (Writing) and completing my M.A. in Ancient and Classical history, I’ve returned to completing my many WIPs while also serving my fellow writers in the areas of planning, organization, business, social media, and mindset.
In February 2017, I founded the Author Transformation Alliance, a community dedicated to uplifting and empowering authors at all stages to reach their vision of success step-by-step with a powerful network of support to guide them. With social media and the current state of the internet, authors no longer need to go it alone or guess their way through the ever-evolving landscape of modern marketing.
You can often find me at the local coffee shops working on my manuscripts of varying genres. When I’m not writing or working with other authors, I love spending time with my husband and our five children–or looking for any opportunity to go horseback riding.
