Ever wondered how to start writing a novel?

Beginning a novel can feel daunting, no matter the genre. Most writers start with a clear structure and plan before putting pen to paper. They need to think about the main storyline, compelling characters, and even those surprising plot twists that keep readers hooked. Where will the story be set? Will some of the side characters have their own arcs?

In this session, we’ll work together to create fascinating characters and craft an exciting plot. Using your imagination and inspiration from others, you’ll develop a protagonist, supporting characters, and a storyline that takes them on a journey, maybe even through a new world. We might even throw in a few unexpected twists!

Finally, we’ll map out a structure to guide your story from start to finish. By the end, you’ll have a solid foundation—and maybe even the motivation to complete your novel at home using the template and ideas we create together.
