Frequently Asked Questions

Alchemy is the brainchild of Nicole Baart, Tosca Lee, and Kimberly Stuart. Together they have nearly 40 years of combined publishing experience and 30+ books published in the mainstream, inspirational, and international markets. Their novels range from YA to thrillers to literary and beyond, and have been award-winning, bestsellers, top book club picks, optioned for movie and television, and featured in prominent publications like People magazine and Southern Living. In addition to Tosca, Kimberly, and Nicole, two industry professional (surprise guests!) will be presenting.

Writers! Alchemy will focus on fiction, with sessions on writing unforgettable characters, beautiful prose, step-off-the-page setting, and so much more. We will also discuss promotion, how to build a brand, and where to find community as a writer. Our tagline (Write where craft and magic meet…) does a pretty good job of summarizing what we believe are the essential ingredients of great fiction: a solid understanding of what works, and a bit of awestruck wonder that allows you to imagine what if.
