This course is designed for the writer with a life — you have other activities that you’re committed to in addition to writing.

In our Plan Your Novel home study course, 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.

This course is for you:
If you have never written a novel, and have always wanted to, and still feel lost on how to go from brilliant idea to The End, then you will be stretched in new and different ways.
If you’re an experienced novelist, with 1 or 2 completed or partially completed novels under your bed. You may find this course structured in a way that’s new to you and yet familiar.
If you have 5 or more unfinished novels sitting in a drawer, and always hit that sagging middle and lose focus or lose interest, this course will help you dream up exciting ways to torture, I mean challenge, your characters all the way to the resolution of the story.
