Description

Hello Writer!

Welcome to the course where I show you how to write an enjoyable novella that will keep your readers interested. Don't make the same mistakes that so many novice authors make and create a novella that can challenge those of successful authors!


My name is Matthew Dewey and I am a writer. It is hard to say when my passion for writing began, but if I can recall it all started back in primary school. A small, pale child with not much to say, but plenty to write, or in most cases scribble, across a page. From there writing became a hobby, moving on to become a part-time job writing articles on various subjects from technology to programming. Suddenly, the spark was ignited and I wrote my first novel. From there I was hooked onto something that was akin to a calling.

Enough monologue, it is time to tell you what this course is worth to you. First, this course was created with the express intention to teach the fundamentals of writing a novella. In my rising through the writing world I found that information was handed freely, but not with enough dedication and forethought. The advice lacking and the examples poor. I decided to push through and after several years developed my own toolkit that is simple and multipurpose.

In addition to the research, I also write from experience, having written several novels, novellas, short stories, articles on writing and taught tens-of-thousands of students.

I will show you how to:

  • Effectively plan a novella

  • Develop stories perfect for novellas

  • Finish a novella in good time

  • Use novella writing methods

  • Edit your novella

  • Publish and market your novella

  • AND many tips and advice to add to your writing arsenal!

Welcome to the Writing a Novella for Beginners Course! I will show what you need to know to develop an interesting novella and turn it into a book to be proud of!

"Writing is a powerful form of art, but it is the reader's imagination that is the canvas, not the page."
