If your Book in a Year goal is to write and publish a fiction novel, this webinar is for you. Even though you may have a great idea for a story, it can be daunting to transform that idea into a full-length novel. In this first webinar, we will explore what you need to do to prepare for this project. We will look at narrowing your focus and defining your story idea, setting (reasonable) writing goals and how to stay on track. We will also cover tips for researching your story, identifying your primary audience and genre, and mapping out a basic outline or framework.

Please download and refer to the four “Month 1” task worksheets at the bottom of the Month 1 page as preparation for this webinar event. Be sure to download the three handouts below as well:
