Last week was awesome. I held a free workshop on hooks & stakes at our local library, and we had a full house. Not only that, I saw lots of new faces. That means that word is getting out. Our local writing community is reaching more people and bringing them into the writing fold, which makes me very happy.

So now… [drumroll]…

I’m offering an intensive, two-day novel-writing workshop.

Why? Simple.

I spent too much time writing badly.

I cranked out five novels while reading various craft books and attending conferences. I felt like the advice I got was hit and miss. I wanted a more comprehensive, interactive learning environment for writing the novel. I signed up for an MFA program, which was a chunk of cash.

I don’t want you to have to pay $40k to learn the craft of the novel. I’m bringing you all the best lessons I’ve learned over the past decade and boiling them down to 16 hours.

I’m also hard at work writing a workbook to go along with the class. And we’re going to have fun!

So, save yourself thousands of dollars and a decade of bad drafts and sign up for this two-day workshop here.
