Would you like a course that guides you through the novel-writing process, from focusing your ideas, right through to plotting, characterisation, and description?

Look no further! This limited-time course includes workshops designed to help you build your writing confidence, come up with the perfect obstacles for your characters, and make your characters so realistic, when you talk about them, everyone will think they're real people.

It's all very well and good knowing these things, but what about if you get stuck? That's why you also get a support call on 25 August. Course participants and podcast patrons will sit down on Zoom to talk and troubleshoot.

Whether you can join us for the support call or not, you'll get lifetime access to all 5 workshops.

When you sign up, you'll get instant access to five workshops—Creative Confidence Class, How to Write Character Arcs, Consequences and Limitations, How to Write Realistic Characters, and Dialogue and Description.

You can watch them in any order that you like, at any pace you like.

Would you like to improve the confidence, resilience, and focus skills you need to succeed as a writer?

In this workshop, we’ll cover the focus, mindset, and productivity techniques you need to achieve—and even surpass—your writing goals. These transferable skills will help you in every aspect of your life. You’ll feel more confident in your skills, happier with your progress, and inspired to keep writing. Whatever you write, these skills will arm you with everything you need to succeed.

A character arc can be an effective way to add depth to your characters and make your plot more interesting to read, regardless of your genre.

Using the 1999 film The Mummy as an example, we're going to break down the different types of character arcs, how they make your reader feel, and how you can use them in your writing.

Grounding characters’ actions with real-life consequences can make your characters more realistic and your stories more page-turning, whatever genre you’re in. On the other hand, when your characters don’t suffer the consequences of their actions…readers can put your book down faster than you can say ‘bad marketing’.

That's why we're looking at how you can make life harder for your characters so that your story is stronger and your readers can't look away.

Are you struggling to write realistic characters? Do you want to know your characters better than you know your best friend? Would you like to craft characters so realistic, your readers remember them—long after they’ve turned the final page? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this workshop is exactly what you need.

Many of us love writing dialogue…or description. Some genres are heavy on one or the other. But what if it didn’t need to be an either/or thing? What if we could look at the relationship between them and how they can bring each other—and your book—to life?

You'll come away understanding why balancing both is important, how to do it in a way that develops your story's pace, and gives new life to your characters.
