Dreams don’t come true, decisions do.
For Dedicated Novelists With Taste, Talent, And
A Habit Of
Second-Guessing Themselves.
You’re already a beautiful writer, but you know a great story rests on more than beauty alone. And while you’ve been told the answers for your novel lie in more dedication, feedback, or knowledge, that’s not what’s creating friction in your relationship with the work.
More beginner advice isn’t the answer.
You need to stop pausing at the threshold of your own authority
and make story decisions you can build from.
Meet Tiffany
I’m Tiffany Clarke Harrison, Author and Author Mentor. I help dedicated novelists stop second-guessing their choices and write with authority, like the Decisive Author they want to become.
You’re already a great writer, so your novel isn’t asking for more beginner writing advice.
It needs stronger, clearer decisions at the story level, decisions you can build from.
That’s The Current of your novel.
To date, I’ve had clients sign with agents, receive 6-figure book deals, and land number one on bestseller lists.
I write emotionally raw and honest literary fiction about women moving through a reclamation, shedding old identities, and choosing themselves. My debut novel is BLUE HOUR, and made Vulture’s Best Books of 2023 and Barack Obama’s 2023 Summer Reading List.
Nearly 10 years ago, I stopped abandoning myself and made big, uncomfortable decisions to get closer to the author career I’ve dreamed of since I was 20, and now I mentor other authors through their novels to make big uncomfortable decisions of their own.
This is where your novel begins.

Make A Scene
Your scene wants a way to close the door on the noise, sit down for a coffee at the kitchen table with you and your character, and make decisions you can build from.
Make A Scene is a focused scene decision tool for fiction writers. It helps you identify what a scene is doing structurally and emotionally so you can stop writing and revising in circles and make stronger decisions on the page.

Blue Hour: A Novel
A Barack Obama Summer Reading selection, and one of Vulture’s Best Books of 2023
What is motherhood in the midst of uncertainty, buried trauma, and an unraveling America? What it’s always been—a love song
Our narrator is a gifted photographer, an uncertain wife, an infertile mother, a biracial woman in an unraveling America. As she grapples with a lifetime of ambivalence about motherhood, yet another act of police brutality makes headlines, and this time the victim is Noah, a boy in her photography class. Unmoored by the grief of a recent devastating miscarriage and Noah’s fight for his life, she worries she can no longer chase the hope of having a child, no longer wants to bring a Black body into the world. Yet her husband Asher—contributing white, Jewish genes alongside her Black-Japanese ones for any potential child—is just as desperate to keep trying. Throwing herself into a new documentary on motherhood, and making secret visits to Noah in the hospital, this when she learns she is, impossibly, pregnant. As the future shifts once again, she must decide yet again what she dares hope for the shape of her future to be. Fearless, timely, blazing with voice, Blue Hour is a fragmentary novel with unignorable storytelling power.
