Description

Hello Writer!

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


My name is Matthew Dewey and I am a writer. For me, writing started as 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. That novel led to hundreds of short stories and even more books published online.

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 cyberpunk novel. In my rising through the writing world I found that information was handed freely, but not with enough dedication and forethought. The first and most important lesson I learned was how not to write a cyberpunk novel. From there, I experimented and studied, creating this toolkit for writing cyberpunk stories.

In this course you will learn:

  • The fundamentals of Cyberpunk fiction

  • The types of dystopia used in Cyberpunk stories

  • How to establish the style and atmosphere

  • Different plot types that work well with the genre

  • How to write cybernetics and whether to include them in your story

  • How to write the philosophical elements common in the genre

  • How to use various resources in making your cyberpunk story

  • AND more advice along the way!

Welcome to the Writing a Cyberpunk Novel for Beginners Course! I will show what you need to know to develop a fantastically electric Cyberpunk novel!

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