April 2021 Brilliant Bundle

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

(And going...)

Especially with a brand new year!

With Spring here, it's the perfect time to grow your writing skills. Our April 2021 Brilliant Bundle offers a trio of lessons to help with your writing journey.

Let's begin with...

How to Leverage the Power of Podcasting

Special guest Thomas Umstattd, who is an award-winning author, speaker, and podcaster, talks about the different ways authors can use podcasting to advance their writing, platform, and book sales.

Plot Your Character's Journey

Plotting your character's journey begins by asking one very important question. This class will teach you how to use that question to plot out your character's journey. Using the SEQ, or Story Equation, will enable you to take the fragments of story drifting through the cloud of your idea into a workable journey.

Back Cover Copy 101

It so important to hook your readers in the first few lines of your story, but the back cover is sometimes all they read. Don't let readers get away! This class will show you how to draw your readers in and sell them your novel.

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

Go! Write Something Brilliant!

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.
