This comprehensive 5-part course on writing a fantasy novel will teach you everything you need to know about the genre, as well as how to promote your book and author brand.

Beginning with the core elements of storytelling (such as creating characters, theme, plots and conflict), the focus then shifts to worldbuilding. I'll show you the most effective and time-efficient method of creating a fantasy world and how to reveal it in ways that readers love.

We then move on to characters—how to create three-dimensional fictional people and how to develop them with the story.

From there we look at editing—arguably the most important part of the process. I'll show you the most effective method and logical method of editing a novel, which can be a huge challenge to the uninitiated.

And lastly, I'll show you everything you need to know about setting up your author website and promoting your book. I'll also explain email marketing and teach you the fundamentals of Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) so you can turn your website into a book marketing machine.

With every unit, you'll receive free resources, such as:

• My creative writing handbook, Thoughts On Writing, and;

• My book on writing fantasy, AFantasy Writers' Handbook.

• You'll also receive a worldbuilding template

• My editing checklist

• My SEOchecklist

• And a stack of writing guides for further reading and learning

Beyond the course, I invite you to join my online writing groups where you can continue your learning. It's also a terrific place to meet fellow writers, allowing you to get feedback on your writing and discuss ideas.
