This is a 3.5 month mentorship that will prompt, push and hold you to your promise to write your NOVEL.  

First up you need to know that I am a huge fan of structure and plotting. I am a book editor and literary agent as well as a writing coach so I know that all stories need the architecture to hold them for the length of a full novel. I will want you to give your story into a rough outline, so my first step is to get that down on paper. I have a very tight plotting method we will use. 

I know most writers need a few things to make real progress in their writing:

1. An experienced mentor to give you the right advice.

2. Someone to hold you accountable and make sure you get it done.

3. A place to ask experts questions when you get stuck

You are getting these three key elements in this mentorship. I set the targets and deadlines and show you how to move forward and write with clear focus and intent. This is the first step all writers must take down the path to publication. Without your first draft, you cannot progress to the next stage. So the first few weeks (yes weeks) are spent plotting and working out your plot points. Then you write to targets. 

In 100 Days you will end up with up to 80,000 words if you do the work as it is laid out in the course. I have been running this course since 2003 in various forms and I can honestly say it is just fantastic.

It will teach you to write a novel and push you the entire way to your first draft with daily emails, lessons and deadlines.
