(a.k.a. The Write Catalyst)
Published Author, Writing Coach, and your tutor for this 6-wk Novel-Writing Course.
I've been writing novels for a decade, and I know exactly what stumbling blocks you face on your journey to get to the end of your book. With a positive, realistic view on writing and an understanding that it has to work with your lifestyle, I'm here to make sure that writing your novel is not just achievable, but also fun.
My published work can be found on Amazon - from short story collection The Memorial Tree, to my debut novel In Lies We Trust, and latest release: That Which is Left is Lost.
Just think of sitting down to write and being able to get your ideas onto the page.
No more staring blankly at the screen, wondering how to start.
No more writing for hours, only to hate every word.
No more writer’s block, plot holes, or dead ends in your story.
Instead, you’ll have a clear plot and strong characters that keep your readers engaged, loving every word.
Your book won’t write itself. It won’t simply fall from your head onto the page. It needs you to create it. This course will give you the confidence to do that, so you can claim your rightful title of author.
Clarify and discuss your ideas, work out plot problems and character motivations with other writers, and get feedback on your writing from a published author.
Learn all the crucial elements of story, and explore how best-selling authors use them to encourage readers to turn the page!
