Redwine and Mary Weber, and a week fully focused on writing, this course delivers the skills you need around your busy schedule!
The group mentorship sessions are a standout feature of this course. These sessions bring together a community of passionate writers who are dedicated to improving their craft. You'll have the opportunity to connect with fellow participants, exchange ideas, receive constructive feedback, and gain inspiration from each other's progress. The supportive environment and collective wisdom will elevate your writing to new heights.
Our course goes beyond just sharing knowledge. We offer college-level teaching, ensuring that you receive the highest quality of instruction. Our instructors are well-versed in the nuances of storytelling and will guide you in mastering idea development, story structure, character creation, dialogue, pacing, and much more. You'll learn essential techniques used by successful authors, giving you the tools to create a compelling narrative that captivates readers from start to finish.
Throughout the 7-week journey, you'll be immersed in a virtual learning environment that stimulates your creativity and fosters your growth as a writer. Interactive exercises and hands-on assignments will help you apply what you've learned and refine your skills. You'll receive personalized feedback from instructors during the group mentorship sessions, ensuring that you receive tailored guidance to enhance your strengths and overcome challenges.
By the end of the course, you'll have not only a solid foundation in novel writing but also a well-developed commercial idea already well on its way to completion. PLUS, it’s one of the most affordable college-level courses on publishing you’ll ever find! (And we offer an easy payment plan!)
