    We're all Wired for Story; learn how to find yours!

    Short on time? This class is available HERE as a Fast Class, exclusively for CreativeLive subscribers.

    Do you feel like you have a book inside of you but don’t know how to bring it to life?

    Lisa Cron has helped thousands of aspiring writers master the unparalleled power of story so they can write a novel or memoir capable of riveting readers!

    In this class, you’ll learn:

    • What your readers’ brain is hardwired to crave in every story they read – and it’s not what you think.
    • Why writing a successful novel is not about having the innate “talent” that only a lucky few are born with, but something you can learn!
    • How to write a first draft that reads like a fifth draft, and cut down rewriting in the process.
    • How to become a more confident writer, and make whatever you’re writing now deeper, richer, more compelling, and able to do what all stories are meant to do: change how the reader sees the world, themselves, and what they do in the world.

    This class is not filled with random, general writing exercises – rather each exercise builds on the one before it, giving you the tools to create a riveting story from the inside out.

    Your goal: to build a novel (or memoir or screenplay) by first creating the material from which the story, and the plot, will organically begin to appear.

    Writing a novel doesn’t have to be a daunting task. With this class, Lisa busts the writing myths that have held you back, and gives you a clear, concise, concrete step-by-step method to find your story and share it with the world!
