September 2025 Brilliant Bundle

We understand how launching out into a goal, a dream, or a serious endeavor like writing a novel, is well, daunting. You have the fire, the idea, and the characters, but how do you keep going?

(And going...)

As we move through the year, we can help you hone your skills and achieve your writing goals. Our September 2025 Brilliant Bundle offers a trio of lessons to help with your writing journey.

Let's begin with...

Writing a Perfect Holiday Story

Even though this peptalk was also an annual MBT Christmas Party, Susie May, Rachel Hauck, and Beth Vogt talked about what makes a great holiday story. They took apart the elements of some of our favorites...It's a Wonderful Life, Miracle on 34th Street, the Grinch...and more - to discover the "sparkle" of writing the perfect Christmas story.

Taking Your Author Platform to the Next Level

During the second part of her author platform series, Lisa Jordan shares ways to take your platform to the next level while balancing your writing time with connecting with readers.

Scene Tension Equation Part 3

In the second segment of the Scene Tension Equation series, Susie May will show how you can wordsmith your story for maximum tension.

Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

~Johann Wolfgang van Goethe

Go! Write something brilliant!

Your Instructor

Susan May Warren

Hi. I'm Susan May Warren. I started writing while I lived in Siberia (yes, you heard that right--cold, snowy, Siberia). Alone. No one to help me, overwhelmed and not a little discouraged. Eighteen years later, I've published over 80 books in five different genres, have landed on numerous bestseller lists (including USA Today), won the RITA, CHRISTY and CAROL awards (and others) and started a school for novelists.

I've learned a few things along the way (beyond techniques on how to stay warm in the tundra!) Most importantly I learned that if I wanted to be published, I had to figure out how to write a book, how to edit it, how to step back from my stories, look at them with a critical eye, figure out what a good manuscript looks like, and then use my unique voice to make that happen.

I'd like to teach you how to write a good book. Edit it...and then, we'll talk about selling it.
