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

Let's begin with...

Mastering Characterization

Ever wonder how to write 1st person and Deep 3rd POV...and all the variations in between the two? This is an in-depth POV Class on how and when to write each.

The Hourglass Plotting Method

Do you have trouble plotting? Lisa Jordan shares how she takes the MBT techniques and uses them differently to create an innovative plot.

Brainstorming a Novella

If you considered writing a novella and wondered where to start, then you will enjoy this class led by Tari Faris. She walks through her brainstorming process as she plans out her upcoming Christmas novella, While It Was Snowing.

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!
