Learning & LITERARY SERVICES
I help writers, students, and creative professionals turn ideas into meaningful work.
I’m Ashley Warren, an educator, writer, editor, and learning designer with more than a decade of experience helping people develop their ideas, strengthen their writing, and build creative skills.
My work sits at the intersection of literacy, storytelling, education, and creative practice—from one-on-one tutoring and manuscript editing to designing online courses and building communities for thousands of independent storytellers.
A glimpse at what I offer:
Teaching & Literacy
Individualized instruction grounded in literacy education and classroom experience.
Editing & Editorial Development
Helping writers turn promising drafts into polished, compelling work.
Learning Design & Creative Education
Designing courses, workshops, curriculum and learning experiences that actually help people learn.
Creative Writing & Narrative Design
Writing fiction, TTRPGs and other forms of immersive storytelling.
Supporting writers through every step of the process.
In 2018, I founded the Storytelling Collective, an online learning community for independent writers, game designers, and other creative storytellers.
Since then, I've designed and produced courses, workshops, writing challenges, mentorship programs, curriculum, and community experiences for more than 16,000 creatives worldwide.
That work has taught me something I bring to everything I do:
Creative people don't just need information. They need thoughtful instruction, useful structure, meaningful feedback, and the confidence to put what they've learned into practice.
Whether I'm working with a student, editing a manuscript, teaching a workshop, or designing an online course, that's the philosophy behind my work.

Stories with heart on every page
When I am not tutoring and teaching writing, I am usually at work on my own literary adventures. 2026 marked the launch of my imprint, Fleuron Press, my independent publishing imprint for lush, immersive fiction inspired by history, folklore, culture, travel, and mythology. Explore my published novel, discover new stories, and find your next literary adventure.

A quest to restore and reclaim a forgotten family relic entwines four stories across 700 years. The Altobella Automaton is an adult contemporary novel for fans of character-driven, setting-rich cozy mysteries such as The Lost Apothecary, Under the Tuscan Sun, and The Miniaturist.
