OUR MISSION
~ To create art through the written word ~
Writing is the art of communicating through the written word. Through words, we create worlds that never existed before. Some of those worlds are fictional worlds where characters come alive as they overcome and become. Others are non-fictional worlds where ideas transform lives.
Here at The MaryAnn Diorio School of Fiction Writing, I help you to build the fictional world of your choice by teaching you the principles of outstanding fiction writing.
Come join me in this exciting adventure of creating art through the written word!
Course Offerings
The following courses are now available. Others will soon follow.
This could be YOUR book!
Most people fail to reach their dreams because of fear or insecurity. Don't let that happen to you!
Believe that if you have the desire to write, you also have the talent to write.
So, if you've put your dream of writing that great novel on a shelf, take it down now, dust it off, and start loving and respecting yourself enough to achieve your dream.
You're worth it!

Commitment is key to success in any endeavor. As you commit to your own success, I will be there beside you, guiding you and cheering you on. While I cannot promise you success, I can promise you that you will succeed as long as you don't quit.
