August 2026 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 August 2026 Brilliant Bundle offers a trio of lessons to help with your writing journey.

Let's begin with...

Mastering Synopsis

A synopsis is used for drafting your story and marketing it to agents, editors, and readers. In this lecture, we will equip you with the necessary skills to write and sell your story, as well as showing you tips to use and mistakes to avoid.

Build a Scene Your Way

During this class, Tari Faris offers a step by step approach to help you build your scenes like the CEO that you are. By breaking down what necessary elements are needed in the scene, she uses her own scenes to show how she went from rough draft to published product.

Using Strengths & Virtues to Create Dynamic Characters

Creating characters that resonate with readers is one of an author's prime goals. Getting to know those characters takes time and insight. By learning how to use your characters' strengths and virtues for them and against them, you will be able to create dynamic characters show depth and authenticity.

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!

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. Twenty-five years later, I've published over 100 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.

Not only that, but I learned how to market my books, and strategize to build an amazing career.

Would you let me help you do the same? Join like-minded writers who are on the journey with you, and let's do this!
