This structured class will provide you with lessons, needed support, accountability, and structure to finish your novel.
Just as if you were taking a college class, I will teach you creative writing skills and give you examples and exercises to help build your writing muscles. You will not submit these, but I strongly suggest that you watch the video lesson and do the exercises.
These are deep writing weeks without lessons, giving you the time to apply what you have learned and to make progress on your novel. At the end of your “writing weeks,” you will check-in, stating how you are doing with your writing and what problems you are having. I will respond with suggestions. This routine will continue for nine months, at which point you will have a completed first draft of your manuscript.
We will meet as a group once a month to discuss writing issues, connect, and allow you to ask questions.
Each session is capped at twelve students to allow me to devote time to the group! Join now to secure your spot for the March cohort! The next session will not begin until September 2025.
