"Plan Your Novel" Early Bird bonus ends tonight

May 27, 2015

Hi Friend, 

A reminder!

Tonight -- May 27, 2015, 9pm Pacific -- is the Early Bird Bonus deadline to our June class, "30-Day Writing Challenge to Plan Your Novel." 

(To find your own time, you can use this time zone converter:

Some FAQs
Q: What if I already started my novel -- but I'm stuck in the middle, will your course help me?
A: The "Plan Your Novel" class can help you if you are stuck in what authors often call the "muddy middle" or "muddle middle." When you get to know your characters better, you can design better conflicts for them, and get through the story conflicts of the middle of your book.

Q: Can I join the class on June 1st or soon after?
A: Yes, you can. We don't have a registration cut off because we know writers may need to join later in the month. But to get the most out of the class, we recommend joining as close to the beginning of the moth as you can.

Q: Are the weekly calls recorded? I can't make each one.
A: Yes, we record all the calls and webinar for access. You have 30 days from when the course ends to download all the June live webinars and calls. (Until July 30, 2015.)


Some of the reasons people are signing up for the "Plan Your Novel" class:

  • They want to flesh out the idea they've been carrying around for years.
  • They want to bring their characters to life on the page.
  • They want to work on their novel.
  • They want community and they want deadlines.
If you'd like those things too, then our course may be right for you.
  • We'll be doing 5 live calls so that you can get support and education and camaraderie.
  • We will help you think and write through the steps to create your novel — from character development to plot structure to story themes and world building — so that you can start your novel prepared.
  • The course curriculum is presented in small, manageable bite-sized pieces. Each activity can be done in as little as 15-20 minutes. You can plan your novel in a way that fits into your life. We know, because we’ve done it, multiple times!
