I WANT TO GET BACK ON TRACK

Tell me if this sounds like you

  • You've been beating yourself up because you're feeling stuck in the murky middle of your novel.
  • You're still committed to your story, but you don't know how to move forward.
  • You may be a planner, a pantser, or an intuitive writer, but your existing tools aren't working to help you reach "The End."
  • You're frustrated, stuck, and the doubt demons are creeping in.
  • You feel like giving up on your story or writing as a whole.

Plotters, pantsers, and intuitive writers are all welcome here. Whether you've just started an exploratory draft or already have a complete draft without any planning, it's never too late to dig into these concepts.

 

Say no more, I'm in!

I'm a big fan of fast drafting

 

But what I produce in 30 days is a zero draft at best. Something that needs a lot of work before it's ready even for my critique partners' eyes.

And outlining? I was allergic to it too.

Then I realized writing is an iterative process. So I blended my favorite tools from my Six Step Novel Planning course with the fun, deadlines and energy of fast-drafting over 12 weeks.

Inside 12 Weeks to Your Next Draft, I'll walk you through those exact concepts, one week at a time.

What people are saying about 12 Weeks to Your Next Draft...

Although I wasn't working on a new draft, my goal was to revise to the middle of my story based on previous coaching, and I met that goal. I still found the weekly tips helpful though, and did review some of those craft elements as I revised.

Cate T.

The self-paced weekly lessons via email were perfect for my learning style, for my writing style. I especially like reading different voices, different perspectives, different teachers, in addition to the zoom calls. The variety helped explain complex theories in multiple ways, to give me that multi-modal learning experience.

Ada V.

The encouragement and writing resources were very helpful. As a novice novel writer, everything helped me move one step closer to writing my first draft. I'm not there yet but I'm moving forward.

Julia R.

I liked best that the understandable information was divided into easily digestible, bite-sized chunks. Julie takes the time to get to know her students and how best to help them understand the materials.

Kimberly E.

Thank you for providing us with a bounty of information. Much appreciate your enthusiasm. Really helped me with motivation to write.

I WANT TO FINISH MY DRAFT

They say you can write a novel in 30 days.

 

But the truth is, what most of us produce in 30 days is a zero draft at best: something that needs a lot of work before it’s ready even for your critique partners’ eyes, let alone readers.

And if you’re allergic to outlining, the usual fix of planning everything first feels even worse.

That’s why 12 Weeks to Your Next Draft blends planning tools that won’t give pantsers hives with the fun, deadlines and energy of fast-drafting, over a timeframe where most people can make solid progress on a draft: 12 weeks.

 

I NEED THIS!

Hey!

I'm Julie!

I help writers, like you, who want to change the world with their stories slay their doubt demons so they can send their work out into the world with confidence.

From planning through revision and pitching, I provide the craft and industry knowledge and mindset support writers need to write a career's worth of books. 

 If you've read this far...you have two options

1) Stay in Stucksville a little longer (the accommodations are terrible, but at least they're familiar!)...

2) Or finally get to "The End" with a little help and encouragement from yours truly.

If you're still committed to your story, you deserve to see it all the way to "The End."

Get your butt in 12 Weeks to Your Next Draft while it's still $25.

After November 20, it goes up to $89.

Let me help you kiss Stucksville goodbye.

 

I'm ready, let's do this!
