Overview

Objective

What you will learn

  • Develop mastery across core fiction craft elements: character, plot/structure, POV, setting, dialogue, pacing, voice, and theme
  • Apply a systematic drafting and revision process to transform rough drafts into polished, professional-quality prose
  • Build a consistent writing voice and style that supports your storytelling goals and genre expectations
  • Learn professional publishing readiness: manuscript formatting, query letters/synopses, and how to target publishers and agents
  • Use AI-enhanced tools responsibly to support ideation, outlining, and revision while maintaining original voice and integrity

How you will benefit

  • Write stories that work—with stronger character arcs, cleaner structure, better pacing, and more engaging scenes (aka fewer “chapter 3 slump” casualties)
  • Finish with a portfolio-ready piece (short story or novel excerpt) suitable for submission, pitching, or showcasing to writing clients
  • Save time and frustration by following a repeatable revision system—so you’re not endlessly “fixing vibes,” you’re improving craft
  • Gain practical business literacy for writers: formatting, querying, and smart targeting—key steps toward professional publication and paid opportunities
  • Build confidence and momentum through weekly exercises, quizzes, and peer feedback—because readers are the ultimate reality check
