The Groundwork

The Groundwork is a four-week email course that prepares you for Novel November before you write a word.

Throughout October, you’ll prepare the novel, the map, the month and yourself. You’ll clarify what you’re writing, build enough of a story map to draft from, set a writing goal based on your actual life and create a plan for the days when things fall apart.

You’ll also receive the November Lunar Map, a practical astrology-based guide to the month, and the Draft Assessment, a five-part framework for figuring out what to do with your raw draft once November is over.

Fully asynchronous. Two emails a week. No live calls, group chat or word count tracker.
