You’re who this course is for.
This course is set up to take you through the process of writing a work of fiction of any length, all through a series of short videos. We’ll start with the first step—idea generation—and go all the way through to revisions. I even included a video on working with beta readers, which is the step after that.

The course can be taken in order or you are free to jump around as you please. At the end, you’ll be able to refine your fiction writing so you can write much more smoothly, more quickly and with more intensity. That means you'll be cranking out more and better stories in less time!

Stephanie Chichester writes fantasy, science fiction, and children's books under the name Stephanie Void. She also has a YouTube channel where she offers tips and advice to other writers. In addition, she teaches writing at a local school.
Stephanie spent most of her childhood indoors reading, since going outside meant the sun might kill her. Some of her favorite authors are Edgar Rice Burroughs, J.R.R. Tolkien, Robert Jordan, Patrick O'Brian, and Madeleine L'Engle. All this reading made her want to write stories herself, so she did.
When she isn't writing, she might be doing one of these other things: oil painting, graphic design, photography, singing, perfecting her Gollum voice for everyone's amusement, or enjoying nature.
Once somebody thought it was a good idea to give her a black belt and a teaching license in Shindoryu Aikijutsu.
She's from New Orleans, Louisiana but moved up to Boston to eat snow.
Her Books:
Running from Secrets
Halfway (Wizards and Faeries Book 1)
Wanderer's Shadow (Wizards and Faeries Book 2)
The Blue
Across the Universe with a Giant Housecat
Her Short Stories:
"Music of the Spheres"
"Formula for a Galactic Conquest"
Our Summer Garden (children's book)
