Structure your story. Build your outline. Start writing.

You have an idea. Maybe some scenes, maybe just a character or question — but you’re not sure how to turn that spark into a book. We can help with that. 

In this 8-week course, we’ll cover narrative structure, character development and motivation, story beats, rising and falling action, and how to put all that into a working outline. We’ll also give you plenty of writing prompts and exercises. Each week, 1–2 writers get the spotlight for feedback from Maggie and the group.

You’ll leave with a solid, well-crafted outline, rich character treatments, and the confidence to begin (or continue) drafting your story.

Includes free access to Writing Together so you can keep your writing momentum going each week.
