The goal is to complete a draft of a novel over the twelve week sequence. Each class will focus on a different element of the craft, such as character, conflict, emotional grounding, POV, world, structure, scenework, pacing, and narrative arc. Through workshop discussion, you'll receive constructive and supportive feedback as your novel develops. You'll share excerpts from your work and we'll brainstorm with you story-related questions you have about your manuscript. You'll make weekly progress as you deepen your understanding and practice of the craft. At the end of each six-week class, you will submit 30 pp to your instructor and in return receive specific notes and advice for revising or finishing the novel.

“I wish I’d found you before I started the publishing process! I feel like issues that you’ve found and solutions that you suggest will do so much to strengthen the novel, and I’m eager to get back to work.”

Do I sign up for Part 1 and Part II?

That's totally up to you, but yes, we encourage you to sign up for both parts. We believe that you can write a good book in twelve weeks if you've put in the development work up front.

Are there any prerequisites?

We strongly encourage you to take 5 Days to a Killer Concept and 4 Weeks to Develop Your Novel first. We believe that the development work we offer there is crucial to writing a book on the twelve-week timeline we're encouraging in this class. Also, they're terrific classes that offer useful development tools no matter what your timeline is for writing your book.

Can I use this class to rewrite my existing draft?
