Advanced Novel Writing with Harry Potter: Pay What You Want special offer
A few months back, I picked up the Advanced Novel Writing with Harry Potter course taught by Clark Chamberlain, and I have been meaning to tell you about how much I’m enjoying it, as soon as I finished it. But then the moving house happened, and Camp NaNoWriMo happened, and new clients happened—you know what it’s like. And I can’t postpone writing about the course any longer, because there’s a ridiculous promo going on right now that I just can’t keep from you.
Why is that?
Because Clark is currently doing a special for Advanced Novel Writing with Harry Potter: Pay What You Want.
That’s right: The course normally retails for $197, but for a very limited time you can pay anything you want and receive this amazing course in its entirety.
The course is professionally recorded and breaks down the secrets behind why the series works so well and sold by the boatload. It’s *really* good stuff, and funny too. And while it discusses Harry Potter, the course is in no way limited to fantasy authors—writers of every genre can learn a lot from what Clark has to offer.
If that doesn’t immediately convince you, allow me to explain why this special is on right now.Read More →

Knowing Penn’s straightforward, cut-to-the-chase writing style, I knew it meant the book offered crazy amounts of information. And that it does. It shouldn’t have surprised me, but it’s such a complete reference book, and it discusses so many scenarios, I’d argue that all serious writers can benefit from it, whether they intend to walk in Penn’s business-minded footsteps or not.
did loads to unravel the ‘mystery’ surrounding introverts and demonstrate that the introvert’s way of going about things is something contemporary society is in dire need of. As such, it comes as no surprise that many a book on introversion and how to be an introvert in a world celebrating the extravert have reached the market in the past few years. Being a fan of her work, Joanna Penn’s

is such a book. Focusing not on the introvert in general but on the introvert writer in particular, Arpin-Ricci tries to provide a view as broad as possible on what being an introvert writer entails. He doesn’t just focus on the introvert writer’s strengths, he also points out the pitfalls of being both an introvert and a writer and how we can overcome these while staying true to ourselves. And with success.
