Are you struggling to finish your novel? Does it take you years to write a book? Do you lack confidence in your writing?

Then Write a Great Novel is for you. It’s everything I’ve learned from writing my first 20+ novels. Not only do I give you my secrets to creating characters and building structure, but I give you the tips, tricks, and hacks I’ve found to write better books faster. Most authors aren’t teachers, and most teachers aren’t prolific authors. I am both.
