Everyone has a story.  We believe writing that story is powerful.

When people learn the four pillars of writing, they learn the power of the craft of writing. When they learn the power of the craft of writing, they bring their story to life.  Our strategic vision is to teach people how to bring their stories to life by 2024.

At Gemini Ink, these Four Pillars work for all age levels and are used as guideposts in teaching the writing process to students of all skill levels.
