What if you could have everything you need to know about how to create, plot, and finally FINISH your fiction novel, laid out for you in a STEP-BY-STEP plan?
This is your plan, designed by your writing coach...
... Even if you have so many ideas to write about and no clue how to pull them all together into one novel.
… Even if you aren’t sure you have enough content to create a full-length novel.
… Even if don’t know where the story’s going or even what genre it’s in.
... Even if you feel like you have NO discipline and your writing time is always pushed to the end of your to-do list.
... Even if you struggle with self-doubt… Will people actually read it?
... Even if you've tried to write before and walked away from your book, frustrated.
So many people before you have written books. What did they do? They followed a proven, tested, tried-and-true PLAN for writing their book.
"I didn't feel like I knew enough to write a book, and every time I would write down something, my brain would say, This is awful, nobody is going to read this, you might as well give this up.
This class gave so much amazing and helpful information about delving in deep with your characters and figuring out the end of my book!"
MICHELE MAHAN
What if a publisher could give you all the insider's secrets of how to become a successful author?
Hi, there! I’m Morgan Gist MacDonald, founder and CEO of Paper Raven Books. I’ve also been a writing coach since 2007, helping authors write the first drafts of their books and navigate publishing, launching, and marketing their books as successful authors.
I’ve written my own bestslling book, too, which has been instrumental in growing my publishing company, which now consistently helps authors write and publish 20+ books per year.
But I noticed something that really bothered me in the book world...
Tons of online courses have been popping up, promising to help you write and publish your bestselling book in a weekend or 30 days or 90 days.
These courses claim to teach the book process, from the very beginning stage of choosing a book topic and writing the entire book, all the way to publishing, launching, and marketing.
So, I bought these courses, out of curiosity, and to see if any of them would be worth recommending to my own writing groups.
Nearly all of these other "book" courses follow a super unhelpful pattern:
They talk about how important a book is to building your business or platform. They show how to create a simple mind map or outline. They say, “Now, write the book.” Then, they dive straight into publishing, launching, and marketing.
Wait, wait, wait. What if someone is having trouble with getting from book idea to outline to finished book? And what if, “Write the book” isn’t enough guidance?
I created our comany's nonfiction writing class (Ready To Write), which has helped hundreds of authors start and finish their nonfiction books.
And then, I brought in our power-house fiction coach, Jennifer Vander Klipp Crosswhite, to create our fiction class for our author community.
What if a professional writing coach could mentor you in the craft of high-quality fiction writing?
Jennifer Crosswhite is a veteran of the traditional publishing industry, having worked for imprints like Zondervan for over 20 years before coming to work with Paper Raven Books.
Jennifer has personally written and published 9 novels and earned over 100 four-and-five-star reviews on Amazon. She is also our head of coaching and has coached hundreds of authors through novels—individually, in groups, and in seminars.
She has taken her tried-and-true methods for helping writers craft bestselling novels into a fiction class that brings together the theory of what makes good fiction and the practice of how to get the words on the page so that the story flows, from start to finish. .
The Novel Blueprint Method Deep Dive Class
A fiction book-writing class on how to create emotionally engaging characters, sequence page-turning scenes, and bring plot lines together in surprising ways so the reader stays hooked till the end
6 MODULES DEDICATED TO THE FICTION CRAFT
COMPANION FAQ SESSIONS WITH REAL EXAMPLES
IMMEDIATE ACCESS FROM ANY SMART DEVICE
IS THIS RIGHT FOR ME?
The Novel Blueprint Method Deep Dive Class is not for every writer or for every book. We are teaching the principles of high-quality, page-turning fiction. This type of strategy is perfect for:
- First-time authors who are struggling to plot their first novel
- Authors who have the first novel in a series and want to continue the series
- Writers in any fiction genre: general, literary, historical, romance, sci-fi, fantasty
- Memoirists who want to write deep characters and craft compelling plot lines
- Children's books authors who want to hone dialogue and age-appropriate plots
- Poetry and prose writers who want to include characters in their work
This course is not for non-fiction writers.
This is not the course for people who just want to hire a book-in-a-box company.
This is not for people who want to jump straight to publishing and marketing.
In this course, we are zero-ing in on writing and how to write high quality fiction novels that pull the reader in, offer a space for escape and imagination, and transform the reader's world.
If you want this novel to become a foundation to your author career, then let’s do this together.
WHAT WE'RE GOING TO COVER IN THIS FICTION NOVEL-WRITING COURSE...
How to craft believable characters who move the story along with desires and motivations and actions that make sense to your reader.
How to add depth and emotion to your characters so your readers will love them and hate them. Your reader will want your protagonist to overcome the struggle and find victory, cheering your character along at every scene. And your reader will love hating your villain, hoping the villain meets doom but hanging on with suspense to see if it will ever happen.
How to create dynamics between characters to create suspense, drama, and uncertainty. Your characters will act together to move the story forward in surprising, unpredictable ways.
How to make sure you have enough content (good content!) to, not only write the Intro and Chapter 1, but to fill a full-length, page-turning, exciting novel.
How to create enough scenes to get out of the intro and deeper into the plot. You’ll have a framework for adding scenes with intrigue, leaving room for the reader room to work some elements out for themselves, to keep the reader turning pages to find out what will happen next.
How to choose what order things should happen in, giving the reader enough information so that the plot makes sense, but how to know what information to hold for later so that the reader continues guessing and wanting more
How to “show” instead of “tell” so that your reader feels like they’ve sunk into an entirely new world when they’re in the pages of your book.
How to put together dialogue that sounds real, not cheesy.
How to pull together plot lines so they don’t feel contrived. The secret is in sequencing out each character’s action + reaction + decision, so that when the character’s decisions collide, the drama and uncertainty of “what’s going to happen?!?” feels like a natural consequence.
And much, much more!
What our writers are saying...
“I find the Action-Reaction schema to be very helpful in mapping scenes and showing the development of characters. I need structure to get my creative juices flowing, and this class provided lots of grounded ideas about structure."
—John Rude
“I am super busy right now with my job and so, my writing was constantly being pushed to the back burner, but having a process that is clearly laid out helps me pick up where I left off without having to go back to the beginning. I am much more confident in my writing now!"
—Lara Piper
