+ How long do I have access to the course?

Forever! When you enroll in Your Page-Turning Plot, you get lifetime access. You can use these techniques, strategies, and workbooks again and again for every story you ever write!

+ What about writing books? What about master classes? What about writers conferences? What about free online articles? What about [insert anything here]?

There are a gajillion resources out there to help you as a writer, and this course is not here to discount any of them.

Anything that helps you write is what you should be using.

When I finally completed my first draft I had the guidance of an excellent writing book. It was a great resource for me, but it didn't give me the interactive support, step-by-step actionable items, and writing community that I wanted.

Your Page-Turning Plot is a writing resource you can use again and again that gives you:

  • Clear guidance and step-by-step actions for every essential aspect of novel outlining
  • Access to your instructor for personalized responses
  • The convenience of learning and connecting with a community from the comfort of your own home

+ What if I'm a pantser and not a plotter?

For those of you unfamiliar with the terms, "pantser" is a type of writer who "writes by the seat of their pants" - they get an idea and hit the keyboard with no plan in place.

"Plotters" are the exact opposite - they take time to sit with their ideas and plan out various elements of their story before writing page 1.

As a former pantser, I say do whatever works for you. The best ideas come from moments of pure inspiration, but they also come from meticulous planning and uninterrupted focus (have you ever heard of a little story called Harry Potter? Yeah, J.K. Rowling planned that out for 5 years)

So don't feel the need to do what you don't like. If being a pantser works for you, great. If being a plotter works for you, great.

But if you are a pantser, as I used to be, and have yet to finish a first draft, it might be worth trying the plotting method and see if you get better results.

This course is designed to combine the best of your inspirational ideas (in other words, your pantser qualities) with the best of your structural ideas (in other words, your plotter qualities).

You need both to create a great story, and that's what you'll find in Your Page-Turning Plot.

+ Do I need a story idea before I take this course?

Nope! The very first lesson teaches you how to find and refine a story idea.

+ What if I already have a story idea or am working on a different story?

Great! During the first lesson you'll get tools and techniques to make sure you're working on the best version of your story idea.

Plus everything you learn is something you'll apply to every story you ever write. If you're already in the middle of a story that just means you have more material to apply the lessons to!

+ What happens when I buy the course?

You will receive a confirmation email and an introductory email about the course.

After the registration period is complete, you will receive access to all 5 Your Page-Turning Plot modules.

Every few days for 5 days an e-mail lesson will be delivered straight to your inbox, but the course is self-study so you can work as fast or as slow as you want!

Each lesson covers a different essential aspect of story outlining. With this course you'll get the tools and guidance necessary to stop second-guessing yourself and finish your first draft!

+ Is there a money-back guarantee?

Because you have access to all of the course materials as soon as you enroll, there is no money-back guarantee. However, in the 3 years this course has running, none of the hundred students has ever requested a refund.
