Dreaming of Writing a Novel?

Not Sure Where To Start?

You are not alone.

Every year thousands of people sit down to write a novel. At best, only about 50% of them actually finish what they set out to do. And of those 50%, maybe only a quarter of them produce something that might, I repeat, might, be marketable.

So many broken dreams.

So many unfinished or unsellable manuscripts.

The simple truth is that it doesn’t have to be this way.

Too many people, including some successful novelists, sit down at the computer and expect to write 100,000+ words on a single given theme with little more than a basic idea in their heads. They have done next to nothing when it comes to preparation and planning. They think that they can just “wing it” and hope it all comes together properly.

Unfortunately, for the vast majority of people who attempt it, especially those who have never written a novel before, this approach just doesn’t work. They end up with a horribly uneven manuscript, or even worse, they give up on their dreams of being a writer long before they finish that first book because of the amount of effort they are forced to put in to correct the mistakes they’ve unwittingly made along the way.

Jump Start Your Novel

Let me ask you something – would you build a house with no more planning than making sure you had a hammer, some nails, and a few piles of wood? Of course you wouldn’t. No sane person would. Crafting a novel shouldn’t be any different. You need to know where you are going and the route you are going to take before you can reach your destination and JUMP START YOUR NOVEL is designed to give you just that.

Let me walk you through the process I have used to write and sell more than a dozen novels in the last few years.

It is the process I used to write my Bram Stoker Award and International Horror Guild Award nominated debut novel. It is the process I used to write the three books in my internationally bestselling Templar Chronicles trilogy. And it is the process that I’ve used to write EYES TO SEE, THE LOST TOMB, YIN & YANG and all the rest.

Combining tips from several successful writing teachers with the technique that I’ve developed for my own personal writing style and taught in workshops across the country, this book will help you understand the steps you need to take BEFORE you write your novel to ensure that by the time you are finished you will have a cohesive, conflict-driven story that will engage the reader and keep them coming back for more.

Inside JUMP START YOUR NOVEL you will discover:

  • Why a road map is better than an outline
  • How to properly establish your premise before you write
  • What a cliffhanger moment is and what it has to do with your novel’s success
  • Ways to dissect your scenes to ensure better story flow
  • Methods for fixing a sagging middle and delivering a rockin’ ending

Each lesson is explained in language simple enough for the beginning writer and yet still delivers enough meat to satisfy even an experienced novelist. Specific exercises designed to show you how to adapt what you have learned to your own work are included with each lesson.

You won’t want to miss learning:

  • The sure fire way to create living, breathing characters
  • The four elements of a strong beginning
  • How to keep your research from eating up all your time and energy
  • A simple method for organizing your work in progress
  • Develop your plot with the Story Flow Blueprint
