Quil Authors Guild

Quil Authors Guild is for fiction writers. Stop stalling and actually finish your book.

Why you should join: Nine levels of training covering writing circles, building a reader community and getting published, with daily writing alongside fellow authors. From $10 a month.

The one-liner

A Skool guild where fiction writers level up together and finally finish their books.

What they actually sell

Quil Authors Guild, run by Shayla McClain, lives on Skool. Its public pitch: "An authors guild for fiction writers ready to stop stalling and actually finish." The paid door is Standard at $10 a month. Premium and VIP tiers sit above that. Quil Authors Guild turns writing into a game. Members drop an introduction on the Like Train, like the comments above theirs and earn points towards the next of nine levels, each one teaching something the book needs. Power of Three writing circles keep members accountable, and the path runs from finding a circle to building a reader community, getting published and eventually running a guild. Inside sit 11 courses and a dense module library. A formal money-back promise is not spelled out on the about page.

Who pays and why

Fiction writers whose book has lived in their head for too long. The pain is writing alone and stalling without anyone to keep them moving. They pay for nine levels of training, small writing circles and daily writing with other authors.

Where the members come from

The Skool lander and Shayla McClain's own teaching appear to be the main acquisition path. Public social links are thin on the about page, so growth reads as community-led rather than a giant media brand. Exact follower counts stay off the about page.

What's holding it back

The Premium and VIP tiers are not explained on the public page, so writers cannot see what the higher levels of support include.

Steal this

Turn your levels into a curriculum, so every new level unlocks a lesson members actually need.

Would this work in another niche?

Yes for any creative practice with a long finish line, such as songwriting or game design. Weak for quick skills.
