Get the step-by-step guidance you need to write and edit your novel with an experienced novelist who is also a professional teacher and coach.
In this special bundle, you can get support with:

Course Curriculum
"I’ve taken all four of these classes and I don’t know what I would have done without them. I’m currently editing the completed first draft of my first novel and am frequently referring back to the class videos, notes, cheat sheets and all of the other neat tools. I HIGHLY recommend these classes, especially at this outrageous discount.
For Pete’s sake, [invest] ... for gobs and gobs of online advice and counseling."
-- Hugh Tipping, Fantasy Author
