Writing a short story feels overwhelming. You're not sure where to begin, and you're definitely not sure it'll be good enough.
The old way? Jot down a basic plot or a killer ending and hope for the best.
That's like driving somewhere you've never been without a satnav - you know the general direction, but you've got no idea where the roadworks, diversions, and dead ends are.
Next thing you know, you've arrived somewhere completely different from where you meant to go. You're then not sure whether to turn around, try again or give up altogether.
For you, this could mean your incredible story ideas stay stuck in your head. When they belong in people's hands.
Think of this workbook as your satnav.
Right beside you the whole journey - getting you to your destination on time, after an enjoyable writing adventure.
The proven method inside has taken complete beginners from blank page to published stories and novels.
Whether you've never written a word of fiction or you're a seasoned author looking to sharpen your process - this workbook belongs in your writing toolkit.
Inside, you'll generate story ideas you never thought possible, build characters readers won't forget, craft plot twists you never dreamed of, and structure a story that keeps people hooked from the first line to the last.
You're one click away from becoming somebody's favourite author.
Ready? Let's go.
