The Plotting Workshop

An 8-Week Course in Building a Road Map Through Your Novel

The Plotting Workshop is designed to help you plan your next novel.

You'll learn about story structure and the Hero's Journey, build a plot board, write a synopsis, and start to build the scenes that will make up your story.

This system is intuitive and flexible, giving your story space to grow and change while you write.

Your tuition includes: The Plotting Workshop course, The Plotting Workshop eBook, a free copy of The Writing Planner, and a great discount off of the cost of my year-long novel-writing course when it launches every spring and fall.
