I have a question for you: 6 months from now where do you want to be with your writing?
Holding a finished manuscript in your hands? Publishing your first book? Watching readers and literary agents fall in love with the story you've worked so hard to create?
It took me 15 years to learn everything I needed to finish a publishing-worthy novel. Because of my new masterclass, you can start learning everything you need to know today.
How would it feel to outline your novel and write a book in the next 3 months?
Awesome?
Incredible?
The accomplishment of life-long dream?
That feeling is exactly what my first student Morgan just had.
Before I opened up my masterclass to all of you, I held a trial run with 1 student to see how it would go. When Morgan joined Finish Your First Draft she had been trying to write a book for years. Using the strategies I teach in my course she was able to outline her novel in 43 days and finish her first book 2 months later.
A few of you have emailed me asking for a sneak peak of my new masterclasses, Finish Your First Draft and The Plot Bootcamp.
The lessons in each masterclass are essential for writers who want to commit to their craft, so I’m pumped to share a sneak peak and with you today!

As you all know, writing is a huge time investment and you always want to make the best use of your time. If you set out to write a novel you want to publish and are making one of the mistakes below, you could add weeks, months, or even years of unnecessary revision to the already lengthy writing process.
I hate to waste my time and I would hate it if you're wasting yours. So it’s probably worth a check – are you making one of the mistakes below?
When I surveyed over 1000 of you guys a few weeks ago you told me your biggest writing struggles were:
When I read that these were your struggles I got excited because I used to struggle with the same exact things.
A few weeks ago I asked you guys what your biggest writing struggles are, and the majority of you said you struggle with creating a plot and finishing your first draft. I've been hard at work creating a resource that's going to walk you through this process step by step, but before we talk about that I want to teach you the two ways to finish a first draft.
Now in reality there's an infinite number of ways to finish a first draft, but writers often fall into 1 of 2 buckets: "Plotter" or "Pantser"
