Demystify the Publishing Process and Create Your Best Speculative Fiction Book

Are you an aspiring author who writes fantasy, science fiction, or horror? Do you have a story idea that you've begun to write, but can't find the drive to finish? Or, maybe you have finished a first draft but have no idea what to do next?

At the end of this 6-week program, you’ll use the feedback you receive from an expert literary agent, and your peers, to raise your writing and your book to the next level, and move toward publication.
