3 Modules in 3 Months
Once you sign up for free, I’ll send you the course materials through email.

1 New Lesson every 30 days.

In just 3 months, you will write your novel and prepare what you need to pitch to literary agents.

The schedule is below.

Lesson 1: Finish Your Novel
Lesson 2: Demystify the Agent
Lesson 3: Craft an Outstanding Query

You will receive each module on the 1st of every month in the form of a newsletter with links to the following:

• A 30 minute+ video lecture

• The lecture slides

• The video transcript

• Written Materials: Resource lists, additional writing prompts and worksheets

• Access to the Discord community, Writing in the Shadows, where you can ask me questions about the course and connect with others

• A 30 day playlist of 1-hour “Write With Me” video to help you stay motivated… perfect for when you need to hit a big word count

• 5 bonus videos that are 15 minutes each. Set in Hawaii, they are designed to help you write freehand and tap into the creativity that can only come from head and hand to pen and paper

Step 1: Let’s Finish Your Novel…Together!
Whether it’s your first draft, your final revision, or anywhere in between, let’s kick off with a clear framework on how to write a novel and complete your manuscript.

Plus, you’ll receive a playlist of 30 days worth of 1-hour “Write With Me” video sessions, where I’ll be writing the final revision of my debut novel. Let’s make real progress on your daily word count… together!

Step 2: Demystify the Agent
Learn what it takes to submit your novel to agents. I’ll break down the materials you’ll need to query a literary agent, strategies for finding the right agent for you, and how to play the numbers game. Plus, I’ll explain what to expect when you get signed and what should be in your contract.

Step 3: Query Strategically
Make a first and lasting impression that increases your chances of getting manuscript requests from agents. Write a query letter that not only tells the story of your book but also sells you as a marketable author. Also learn how to write a proper synopsis and author bio. And just know, you’ll need multiple versions of each.

Each lesson will contain a video lecture, slides, and PDFs sent to your inbox.

This course is for anyone who wants to write and pitch a fiction book to a literary agent in pursuit of traditional publication.

Whether you’re writing fantasy, horror, romance, literary, thriller, middle-grade, or YA, the same rules apply and I’m going to tell you what they are.

There’s a ton of great advice out there for pitching non-fiction, but we’re focusing on fiction in this course. Also, there is a ton of great opportunity in self publishing, but I recommend you try the traditional publishing route first.

I’m offering this course for free because I spent years writing my novel and even longer submitting to agents before I finally got an offer of representation from my dream agent.

I’m also a filmmaker and have made many online courses in the past for universities like Columbia.

So, after I finally landed my literary agent using all this information, I figured… “Hmm, if I have all the skills to make an online course, why not make one on this super long writing journey I’ve been on and hopefully help other writers?”

And I ended up loving making this course! I’m super proud of it and think it’s chock full of useful information for anyone trying to write a book and seek an agent.

I’ll be honest—writing and pitching a novel is hard. So hard, it can feel like groping around in the dark.

But with the right support and knowledge, we can bring your story out of the shadows and into the light.

I wrote a novel, pitched it, and landed my dream agent who is representing my debut.

It wasn’t easy, but I’m proof it can be done. Now it’s your turn.
