Our Story
Every writer begins with a spark—a what-if, a whisper, a world that refuses to stay silent. For us—Valerie Willis, Dr. Jenifer Paquette, and Amanda Fasciano—that spark became more than storytelling. It became a mission: to help other writers master their craft, find their confidence, and publish with purpose.
​
Between us, we’ve seen nearly every side of the writing world. Valerie Willis, an award-winning author and book designer, channels her years in publishing and production to teach authors how to make their books not only read beautifully, but look stunning inside and out. Dr. Jenifer Paquette brings her expertise as a professor of English, editor, and romantasy author, blending academic rigor with creative passion. Amanda Fasciano, whose stories walk the line between fantasy, horror, and romance, brings the imagination and positive energy that remind us all why we fell in love with storytelling in the first place.
​
Together, we founded BGP Mastery Courses—a hub for writers who want to level up their skills, sharpen their voice, and build the author career they’ve been dreaming of. These courses are more than lessons; they’re a guided journey through every stage of the writer’s path—from craft to creation, from editing to design, from motivation to marketing.
​
Our philosophy is simple: write with intention, publish with integrity, and never stop learning. Whether you’re polishing your first novel or fine-tuning your author brand, BGP Mastery Courses offers the tools, strategies, and encouragement to help you grow—all from instructors who live and breathe the writing life.
