Are you ready to commit time and energy to your novel? Do you want to finish your draft in the coming year? Do you need support, encouragment and accoutability?

 

This one-year mentorship program is designed to work for writers at any entry point, whether it is with the beginning seed of an idea or a draft of a novel or memoir. We will work through three main stages of the writing process:

​

Stage 1: Start Your Story

At this stage, you may have an initial idea for a novel or memoir, or you may have work-in-progress. We'll complete a series of acitivites to understand the foundational elements of your story, including the following:

​

• Why you need to write this story

• What your point is

• Who is your protagonist?

• Who is your narrator?

• What is the setting?

• Developing the storyline

​

Stage 2: Plan Your Story

At this stage, you will flesh out the story ideas to develop an Inside Outline. This tool works for pantsers and plotters, and will prepare you to write a draft with direction and confidence.

​
