About me
For nearly three decades Doug Kurtz has taught writers in every context from universities and nonprofits to international retreats and his own coaching business. He is the co-creator of the Story Map, a holistic methodology that helps novelists of all stripes and skill levels write deeply impactful books. His clients have signed with literary agents, traditionally and self-published, won awards, topped the Amazon charts, received celebrity accolades, and, most importantly, finished novels they're proud to have written.
Author of the novel Mosquito, Doug has a graduate degree in creative writing from the University of Colorado and has served as core faculty at Lighthouse Writers Workshop. Beyond his professional endeavors, his passion for exploring the Rockies reflects his belief that, with the right map, even the highest peaks are within reach. Doug lives in Boulder with his wife and son and their Bearded Collie, Mudge.
