What You’ll Learn

The Write Motivation is a course designed to help writers unleash their creativity and elevate their prose. Like elite athletes who improve performance by learning to get into and stay in the zone, successful writers must accomplish a similar feat. The Write Motivation provides key insights to help writers find their writing zone.

During the two-hour, five-week course, participants will learn:

  • Two distinct writing modes all writers must grasp to become successful.

  • How to stay motivated.

  • Concepts and techniques to elevate your prose.

  • Why too much description can short-circuit the story.

  • How to create satisfying plots.

  • Guidelines for submitting your work.

  • The pros and cons of traditional publishing vs. self-publishing.

  • Concepts I wish I’d known as a novice writer.

What It Costs

The cost is $399 for the five-week course. Register by March 17, 2023, to save $50.

While open to any writer, The Write Motivation best suits those penning novels, short stories, magazine articles, essays, and blogs.

REFUND POLICY: Full refund up to 15 days before class, minus any transaction fees. Within 14 days of the class, the refund is 50% of the class cost. The registrant may take any future class by paying only the refunded amount.

The next Write Motivation course will be in-person Tuesday nights from 6 to 8 pm from April 25 to May 23, 2023.

Great class and just the jump start I needed. Thanks to Chris and several fellow classmates who continue to meet regularly, I have started my blog, written four short stories, and have a good grip on a novella. Can’t beat that for The Write Motivation!
