Have you been saying to yourself, “I’m going to write a novel someday?” Well, why not today?
I know. You have a lot on your plate. Maybe when things settle down at work. Maybe when the kids get into first grade/high school/out of college. Maybe… maybe… maybe…
Well, if you can find just a half hour a day, even if it is in three ten-minute chunks of time, you can finish your novel in six months or less.
Now, you are probably saying, “I don’t even know where to start.”
Guess what? None of us did before we started. One place to start is with this course.
Most books and courses set forth a rigid workflow for you to follow. They prescribe a series of steps to follow. That pattern works – for some people. Unfortunately, we are all different. We have different writing personalities. Some of us need to plan everything before we start. Others of us write better if we just sit down, start writing and edit later. Others of us are somewhere in between with just a skeleton plan or story arc and fill in the rest as we write.
This course acknowledges and honors your own process while giving you the knowledge, guidance, and accountability for you to write your novel – and write it YOUR way.
The program is not just one course. It is a bundle of eleven full-length courses comprised of more than 100 individual lessons. These courses previously sold for $35 each (a $385 value). All are included for $47. These courses include:
Defining Your Premise & Story Arc
Growing Characters from the Inside Out
Establishing Point of View
Creating Story Structure
Writing Compelling Scenes
Creating the World of Your Story
Writing the First Draft
Editing the Big Picture
Content Editing
Style Editing
Proofreading
Warning! This is not some two-month or thirty-day course which gives you a bunch of lessons and leaves you on your own. This is a six-month masterclass with a professional writer and educator by your side providing the instruction, guidance, and accountability you need to finish that novel.
While not a degree program, this is similar to an MFA program in novel writing. You will dive deep into every aspect of novel writing.
Some novel writing courses will give you one or two lessons on creating fictional characters. We have fifteen lessons.
Yes, it is a major commitment. So is writing a novel.
