I've attended a number of these summits now, and I continue to sit in awe of the presenters and their generosity. I am blown away each time by how many new things I learn, and I've made a lot of wonderful connections through the summits. Thank you, Daniel, for yet another fabulous offering! You are a superstar.

Janine E Pumilia

Well, I had no intention of buying the All Access Pass for this summit. After all, I'm still working through some courses by Daniel that I already purchased and "free" is great. But I've heard SO MANY priceless concepts I want to hear again and put into practice ... that I just can't let them become inaccessible. Thank you so much, Daniel, not only for your own stellar teaching, but also for assembling a constellation of truly brilliant teachers.

Oct 22, 2026

Robin

Thanks so much, Daniel! This was my first time at a conference like this, and every session was really helpful and inspiring. I appreciate how you made it a safe place for us to grow as writers. I wish there were more sessions, but now I need to get back to completing my novel. Thanks to this conference, I have many tools in my creative tool belt. I will recommend this to my friends. Thanks again! Let us know when your ghost story gets published!

Oct 21, 2026

Sajaddw

So many wonderful, insightful, generous people Daniel gathers together in his summit. No exception here. From D'Costa to Rebecca Pickens! Each one has given me something to chew on. In the middle of a bathroom redo, I watched many videos at night, staying up til midnight. Tough to choose with such good choices. Thank you Daniel!

Oct 21, 2026

Heidi

Thanks for Escape the Plot Forest, Daniel and speakers! I knew I'd be pressed for time with this one (for my own reasons) but I've been visiting each talk at least briefly and still got a lot out of it. Great speakers, valuable Freebies, and really friendly vibe. Much appreciated!

Oct 21, 2026

Dave Garland

Thank you so much, Daniel! The content was, as always, amazingly rich and informative. But the biggest thing for me was the feeling of community. This is inherently a lonely pursuit, and it was just nice to be with so many in the same boat. I wish you all the best, and hope it's as rewarding for you, as well. --Dave

Danel, as a first-time summit attendee, I’m impressed with the high caliber presenters you’ve curated and the relevancy of their topics. I’ve learned so much. I can’t imagine the energy it takes to be present every day, all day. Bless you and thank you, thank you, thank you.

Leslie A Rodd

I am writing to praise Amy Z. Chan, who has just finished being my coach in the Autumn Residency Program. My book is called Good Mother Lizard, and I brought it to the Residency with it messy but finished. Amy brought order to the book, mainly by recommending more internal text by Phoebe, the main character. I have always operated on the notion that the characters don't say too much about the doubts, the worries, the hopes that they have. But I followed Amy's reactions, and it works. Phoebe has worries about her graduate program in paleontology, and doubts about her mother, the artist, and hopes about her grandmother, the scientist, going senile. It's fun! I have always written and have always been successful. I am a retired librarian, who did many things and wrote grants. One of those grants garnered three years of funding for our adult literacy program, and another was awarded $1 million to build a children's library in east Oakland. But that wasn't a novel. Amy Z Chan is just what I needed!

Oct 15, 2026

Yvonne McArthur

This great course helped me learn vital skills like how to keep my readers emotionally connected to my main character, how to prepare for twists, how to design scenes that include forward momentum, how to deliver information in sneaky and clever ways, and how to weave in worldbuilding and moments of transcendence. Daniel's courses are always a delight. I love his teaching style and consider myself a superfan. I can't recommend him and his courses enough.

Shannon

This summit was amazing! I loved watching all the presenters pick apart the ideas and enjoyed the lenses each individual brought to the premises and the process. Very cool experiment. Thanks to Daniel and all the presenters for engaging in such deep discussions (and to Dwight, for holding us all together with her magic, lol). My brain is buzzing with directions for my story!

Holly

This Develop Your Premise 2026 summit was enormously helpful in getting me to redefine my premise and what I wanted to say in my novel! I loved Allison K Williams's talk about how to get unstuck when you are writing, and found her advice particularly liberating in terms of giving myself permission to have fun with it and revisit other scenes later. There were other good talks, too, but that stood out to me. Thank you, Daniel for coming up with these summits, as they always provide some good resources I can turn to in my writing journey!

Jul 22, 2026

Stacey Millett

Kudos again Daniel for another just-in-time summit for me. The concepts around premise promise, letting of 'obligatory' inciting incident, and reducing back story to get to story right away are perfect for my current revision stage. THANK YOU! I like the the combination of theory and specificity with support examples in the sessions and highly recommend this summit.

Happily retired

I have been following Daniel for a while. I don't remember how I found him, but I'm happy I did! He's a fantastic teacher and has quickly become someone whose advice I often follow. His course made me think more deeply about character choices and their implications. This opens paths forward. Choosing paths and inevitable ends is a great way to overcome writer's block. Thank you, Daniel!

Sandy Bassie

I have enjoyed several of Daniel's summits the past few years, engaging deeply with two or three each time, finding speakers I follow in areas of focus I'm working to improve. One of the gifts of these summits is the way they flow in themes with speakers chosen for specific areas of strengths, at times presenting ways they work through their own challenges generously engaging with attendees during the presentation. As someone who works a variable schedule, I choose to pay the (very reasonable) fee that offers bonuses whether I'm present or not, and the ability to discover and review as often as I like. I find the dynamic between Daniel, invited speakers, and attendees to be open and encouraging of learners who are there for the first time. It is a supportive community; encouraging those who wish to keep connection afterwards. Daniel is gifted in many areas of teaching and gathering writers in supportive community. I look forward to his summits each year.

Mar 31, 2026

Shannon

Wow! This summit has been amazing! These are the kinds of deep craft discussions I live for as a writer. I've learned so much, and now I can't wait to sit down and put these tricks to use. Many thanks to Daniel, Dwight, and their team.

Margo Sullivan

It’s a wonderful summit with a variety of topics and speakers all dedicated to great writing. I learned a lot and especially enjoy Daniel’s lessons. I definitely would —and have — recommended Perfect Your Process to a friend.

Mar 25, 2026

CJ Holden

The variety of teachers, coaches and writers creates a smorgesboard of learning at any level of experience. Topics for where ever you are at as a writer, allow participants to dip back into their earliest days as a writer, and still find a fresh tip or process. Daniel, thank you for your efforts to nourish and teach those of us afflicted with the urge to mold the clay into words of story. Gratitude !

Jennifer Della'Zanna

My brain is stuffed full, and this was one of the best summits I've ever attended. From the amazing talks to the incredibly generous tools and gifts the speakers gave us, it's just an embarrassment of riches. Thank you so much!

Andrew Hinderlie

I have really felt inspired by the presenters, by the other writers which is what I need at this time to start getting my priorities and boundaries set to write. I appreciate so much Daniel doing these summits, of which this is my first, and look forward to future opportunities. My recommendation to anyone doing this is that if you don't have the time to actually watch all the presentations and participate, pay for the pass as it's well worth it to be able to watch the ones you miss and rewatch the ones which you want to focus on more closely.

Mar 24, 2026

Joanna Immanuel

Thank you so much. The last three days have been like an ongoing treasure hunt picking up one piece of gold after the other. It has been like drinking from a fire hose and I feel so inspired! Can't wait to implement some of these great ideas, to map out my story, to box times and create task lists and celebrate "presence", to start tracking time and learn how to celebrate and reward myself as I progress. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity all through these last couple of days, Daniel. You are amazing! I hope there will be many more summits to come. Can't wait for the next one!

Mar 24, 2026

Kiaya Freeze

This is my first time "attending" and I only used a free pass. Still, this summit has been wildly satiating. I intend to attend next year, but get a paid pass so I can enjoy all the talks forever and enjoy the freebies.

I've attended 3 of the Escape the Plot Forest events and now the Perfect your Process event. These summits are such a gift to the writing community. I always come away having learned so much, and with tools that I can implement in my writing.

Mar 23, 2026

Shelly Lange

This is my first time attending the Perfect Your Process Summit and it has been so helpful! I was a bit stalled in my writing, paralyzed really. This has reinvigorated me - Daniel and all the speakers have provided some great tips and have gotten me excited about my writing again! I will be checking out Daniel's other offerings as well as the offerings from many of his speakers - newsletters, classes, etc. I'm so thankful to have found this - what a great event!

"Practice what it feels like for you to finish something. And you can practice really small, just to know it in your body."--Sarah Selecky Such simple advice--but amazing. I wish I had heard that years ago. It's already transforming my brain and my writing projects.

M. McLeary Graham

I signed up for the Daniel David Wallace Newsletter some time ago while reading an article about writing techniques. The most enlightening part of the course was the discussion about the character-first approach to plotting. At a recent critique workshop, I listened to readers' comments on my first chapter. I came away trying to figure out how to fix my first chapter. After learning about Wallace's recommendations for a character-first approach to plotting, I finally understood what the readers' responses were about: a story opening that was too dense, with the protagonist lost in the weeds. I broke up the wordiness and the mountains of new character introductions, and trusted my protagonist to take the reader on a journey so the reader could stick close through every twist and turn.

Best place, nicest place to learn about writing and be inspired. And challenge my writing too. One of the most important scenes in one of my novels came from a talk in one of the private rooms a few years ago. Thank you for bringing so many wonderful speakers to us and for trying something new every time.

Daniel's Escape the Plot Forest endures as a place to find just-in-time lessons and encouragement for my novel writing journey. The speakers excel at delivering content in digestible ways, and provide comprehensive, user-friendly bonus materials. Thank you everyone!

Escape The Plot Forest summit is intensive and so informative! Daniel David Wallace finds the best presenters for a great flowing course of five days. I believe now that buying the ETPF all-access pass is the best way to go because we are treated to some extras by most of the presenters. It's like reading a 550-page writers' training book in five days AND you get to ask questions. So many opportunities besides that, including community, and upcoming courses and workshops.

Oct 25, 2025

Brenda Merritt

Ok Ok OK! FOLKS🙂 everyone whose ever attended any DDW or Escape The Plot Seminar KNOWS they are by far THE BEST, MOST INFORMATIVE formats - that KEEP on GIVING long after the seminar ends- enabling Wonderful, Long Lasting Affiliations (&sometimes friendships)! With some of the most productivly beneficial, enthusiastic-willing to help coaches/editors on The 🌏! INCITING INCIDENT: I procrastinated/didn't plan & miss the early All Pass.😕 ESCALATING, NEGATIVE COMPLICATIONS/CONSEQUENCES: My arm hurts from taking So Many notes- you just CAN'T screenshot ALL the Wonderful highlights either! 🙅🏽‍♀️ TURNING POINT-Even The Jubilee was graciously extended past 11 AM to exactly 12:39 PM-But Quickly vanished. Ask me how I know.🙄 INTERNAL CHANGE: "I can't Afford NOT to purchase Early ALL PASSES." The stakes are too HIGH! CLIMAX: WILL be paying the $147 "Tardy people's Fee." It's just too rich to pass up! 🏆 Tune in later to see my 'Denouement - The brave new world of me producing THE BEST Novel possible. 📚💁🏽‍♀️

Marlee Terry

Daniel, I love your style and humor. Your questions and thoughts about the topics truly made the interviews more valuable. I loved the variety of speakers and learned something from each one of the dozen or so I listened to. I now have pages of notes and resources to turn to. I would totally recommend your summit for wannabe writers and those further down the path of writing. Thanks a million!

Oct 24, 2025

Tara Nixon

This summit was an enlightening experience to say the least. As a hobbyist writer for many years, I joined because I was curious. Now, walking away, I have a lot to consider and feel a bit more confident in my writing, ways to improve, as well as what to expect for the future when I try to publish my own work. Each speaker was super thoughtful and well spoken, and the host Daniel, was always a joy. The love of the craft was obvious with each and every person who spoke and it made me feel renewed in a way. I've been alone in my writing journey. I haven't had people who really support my creative endeavors. But to hear that the writing community is full of such wonderful and optimistic people really put some things into perspective for me. I will definitely attend future summits/seminars that Daniel hosts. This was a wonderful week of learning. And I now have a fire under me now more than ever, to finish my drafts and get going. Cheers to all the Speakers, Professionals, and of course Daniel himself for all the hard work and prep this must have taken! You are all incredible!

Oct 23, 2025

Alison

There are SO many of these summits now, they pop up like mushrooms. This one stands head and shoulders above the rest! Daniel packs a ton of great speakers into a few days, and it's all worthwhile material. The treasure hunt is a fun and creative beginning, and there are little extras thrown in all over the place, right up to the end. The time and effort it must take to put this together can only be imagined. This one above all others I wouldn't miss!

Oct 23, 2025

Hillary McGuire Easom

Every one of Daniel's summits has taught me something new! I think this is the third one I've attended, and each one has been so well curated, with top-notch speakers and timely, relevant topics. I really appreciate the professional and respective atmosphere and the ability to connect with other writers.

Oct 23, 2025

nancy bordine

Hello Daniel, Thank you for creating such an informative summit! This was my first time attending (partially) your event. I found your presenters to be very knowledgeable and sincere in their desire to help fellow writers. I look forward to watching presentations on Jubilee Day that were recommended by fellow participants in Happy Hour chat rooms. I'll be registering for a full pass next time!

Escape The Plot Forest is a celebration of learning, writing, and camaraderie; it’s a joy to participate in this event. Three years in, I’m taken by how the summit evolves to meet my changing needs with diverse topics and excellent teachers. Every year this summit gets better, and I’m grateful to Daniel, his team, and the presenters for challenging themselves and all of us to keep improving. Every year there are fresh techniques to learn with creative approaches that help us deliver a fulfilling experience for readers.

I felt discouraged and lost writing for a long time, and almost gave up on it. Even with publishing a book years ago. This Summit w-o-k-e me up. Got several ideas now for books. Thank you Daniel and everyone on your team!

Holly

I learn a lot from these summits and am grateful as can be that there are so many tools available that we can add to our boxes that can help us write ourselves through to a finished draft. I normally get stuck in the saggy middle, but a combination of these talks has reignited that spark for my story, and the determination to see it through!

Hi Daniel - thank you so much for the time and attention you put into this summit. It is my first time, and it has been absolutely amazing. I originally was planning to continue with the free version. But the talks and content have been so impactful and filled with such great information that I purchased the all-access pass, so I can rewatch the sessions I attended and dive into the ones I couldn't. All your guests and speakers were so knowledgeable and kind. I will definitely be back next year!!

Oct 22, 2025

J L Nash

As always - incredible wealth of knowledge and talent to tune in to at the Summit. Daniel your sessions are like goldmines! Every year i take away different information helping me become a better writer. This year, I understood stakes in a much easier way than before. I find it hard to pick a favourite seminar but I have managed to hook up with different authors through their mailing lists and been able to make good use of their resources. Being in Australia meant that i had to stay up through the night to catch all the talks but it was most definitely worth it - that gave me time to review the replays too. I look forward to this every year. Thank you Daniel for organising and presenting it. I learn sooooo much even though i have been writing for years and am published - this can only make me a more proficient writer. Learning the craft, that’s what I get from it. Oh and I made a few new friends too. Thank you.

This summit opened my eyes to so many things about the craft and the business. The presenters were without exception amazing teachers. The variety of subjects was wonderful. I am so grateful to have found Daniel David Wallace's Plot Forest Summit. It is the best I have ever attended, bar none.

Sharon Coffey

To have all this valuable information from such skilled and talented presenters has been uuuuuuhmazing! My writer's toolbox is bulging at the seems with everything I've learned from this Summit. I would highly recommend it to any writer.

Probably the most welcoming online event for writers in every stage of their journey. Providing it free as it runs and a reasonable price for longer access makes it especially inclusive. Great speakers.
