He built an audience with his “Daily Kick in the Pants” for writers, launched an editing service with MyStoryDoctor.com, created the Apex writing group, and he was one of the Founders of Superstars Writing Seminars (with Kevin J.

For many years he was the coordinating judge for L.

In his own fiction, he won the Philip K.

He is best known, however, for his New York Times best-selling fantasy series The Runelords, and his Star Wars novel, The Courtship of Princess Leia. David Farland passed away in January 2022.
