Setting Up Your Storyworld

How do you engage your reader into a story, capture their imagination from the first page, and immerse them in a fictional world?

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 begin the new year, envision the goals you're making that embrace your values. We can help you hone your skills and achieve your writing goals.

Setting Up Your Storyworld

How do you engage your reader into a story, capture their imagination from the first page, and immerse them in a fictional world? It’s more than setting, fashion and time period. Creating StoryWorld is a technique used by classic authors like CS Lewis, JRR Tolkien, even Jane Austin, an element of storytelling that is often overlooked, but which can take a mediocre novel to award-winning.

What You Can Do, or Dream You Can, Begin It; Boldness Has Genius, Power, and Magic in It.

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.
