This isn’t just another writing course...
It’s a monthly series of interactive, online classes designed to help you master the craft of writing bestselling books, both fiction and nonfiction. You’ll study topics such as building stronger plots, mastering point of view, showing rather than telling, creating narrative drive, writing riveting suspense, and much more — so you can finally finish your book. You’ll get expert insights, real-world strategies, and practical techniques from working, award-winning authors who know what it takes to craft a bestseller. Whether you’re stuck in the middle of your manuscript or looking to improve your pacing, dialogue, or structure, this is where serious writers come to grow.
