Build Your Story’s Foundation: Novel Planning Workshop

Workshop 2025 [December 17 + December 18: 6PM-6:30PM EST]

Build Your Story’s Foundation: Novel Planning Workshop is designed for the writer who’s ready to stop circling ideas and finally bring their story to life. Whether you’ve been sitting on a concept for years or just felt the spark last week, this workshop gives you the structure, clarity, and confidence to move from “I want to write a book” to “I’m actually building one.”

Inside, we’ll dig into who you are as a writer — your voice, your values, and the kind of stories you’re meant to tell. Then we move into a simple 10-step planning framework that helps you shape your novel with emotional depth and purpose, without getting overwhelmed by craft jargon or complicated systems.

You’ll also get a lightweight intro to indie authorship, a realistic approach to building a writing routine that fits your life, and a small but powerful section on creating authentic, low-pressure content to share your work online. We’ll close with a live Q&A and a final message to send you back into your writing life grounded, inspired, and ready.

By the end of this two-day workshop, you’ll be able to:

• Build a strong foundation for your novel using a simple 10-step framework
• Shape a story with emotional clarity and purpose
• Strengthen your voice and understand who you are as a writer
• Overcome creative doubt and write with confidence
• Develop a sustainable writing routine that actually fits your life
• Understand the early basics of indie publishing
• Share your work online using authentic, low-pressure content
• Leave with a story outline you can immediately start drafting

Whether you’re writing your very first book or returning to the page after a long break, this workshop gives you the clarity, support, and direction to finally begin your story with intention.
