I am really excited to bring you this class which follows on from my very first Writer’s Toolkit about the ‘Six Steps’ of becoming a writer.
This new lesson will help you achieve two very important milestones of writing which I believe are vital to success, both artistically and commercially. The first is finding your own unique voice as an author, and there’s a class project I have designed to help you do just that.
The second vital skill is having the knowledge to avoid ‘Six Mistakes’ that I often see in a writer’s first novel or memoir which can really sink it. Although all creative writing is good practice, if I had known to avoid these six things at the start of my literary career, the first two novels I ever wrote might not be sitting in a box under my bed.
I’ve designed this writing class so there’s really nothing to remember or memorize. Once you grasp the concepts, you will have these skills for life!
If you’ve been writing for a while and feel you have discovered your voice, then this class will help you reveal much more of it. And once you apply everything you’re going to learn about the ‘Six Mistakes,’ your writing will hopefully ascend to the next level, where pacing, plot, character, story, and tone are all, finally working together to provide a seamless emotional experience for your reader. If you’re new to writing, don’t worry–it’s never too early to find your voice, and gaining this craft knowledge of the ‘Six Mistakes’ will give you insight into how great books come together.
The skills in this class will be most useful to experienced and new writers working on novels, memoirs, and short stories.
