Enrol in YOUR Future

If you are prepared to put the work in, we will give you the pathway and the guidance you need to get the future you choose for yourself.

Don't believe me? Meet Paul Carroll. Paul is a DreamEngine Academy member who has done all our courses. He submitted his book to us. We gave him a publishing deal. We helped him form it into a pitch deck and we have now offered him a production deal.
Author Paul Carroll in his own words.
"I had self-published four novels before meeting David Baboulene.  Solid reviews, although they didn’t sell many, but the  last thing I thought I needed was input and advice on how to become a better writer (‘I’ve got the hang of this now, thanks’).
How wrong could I be?  On my fifth novel, Shaking Hands with Elvis, I asked David how my story could be improved... and his notes blew me away. Out went the ending. Two characters were completely changed.  More pace and intrigue were suggested for the early parts of the book.  Did I mind? No, because besides the advice being proffered in the most positive manner imaginable, I immediately saw David had locked on with laser sharp precision to the weak points of my story.  It was a pleasure to reshape and recraft following his pointers.
As well as coming out as a novel, Shaking Hands with Elvis is now being pitched by David's team as a movie.
Let me stress, I hate ‘how to write’ and ‘how to get published’ courses.  One of my novels, Written Off, pokes fun at them. But having been bowled over by David’s knowledge and insight, I dived into the DreamEngine Author Academy, and thoroughly enjoyed the journey through story theory, dynamics, mythology and more.  It’s different. It’s engaging. It’s fun. More importantly, it’s genuinely helpful."
