Join hundreds of happy students as you learn tangible writing skills that will enhance your fiction, no matter what genre you’re writing in.
In just 20 minutes a day, you can learn some of my top tips for creating engaging fiction.
Every day, I present a new short topic, followed by a quick writing exercise.
Based in reader behaviour and the psychology of storytelling, you will learn:
How to quickly create compelling characters that come alive on the page
How to weave in emotion, and generate emotional investment in the reader
How to use emotion to build tension so that readers stay on the edge of their seats
How to move a story forward in a logical and exciting way using Action Cycles.
and finally, How to add description and polish to your scene in a way that enhances rather than bores the reader experience.
This challenge is meant for the new author looking to learn some simple tips and tricks, or for the seasoned writer looking to take their fiction to the next level.
