Cheryl — Sat, 28 Feb 2009 02:48:12 +0000

Got a great opportunity for you to take advantage of… tonight.

Holly Lisle has created a new course… How to Think Sideways: Career Survival School for Writers. It’s a six-month course with weekly lessons that will show you how to break out of the pack to sell YOUR novel.

You’ll discover:

How to Break the Four “Thinking” Barriers to Your Success
How to Discover Your Writing “Sweet Spot”
How to Generate Ideas on a Deadline
How to Recognize and Build on Good Ideas
How to Define Your Project’s Needs
How to Discover (Or Create) Your Project’s Market
How to Plan Your Project While NOT Killing Your Story
How to Write From Inside Your Story
How to “Plan” Surprises That Surprise Even You
How To Design Compelling Queries, Proposals, And Sample Chapters
How to Create, Complicate, And Solve Problems
How to Fall In Love With Your Project a Second Time aka “Can’t I Just Kill Them All?”
How to Find and Use Your “Planned” Surprises
How To “Hire” Spies, And Why Your Project Needs Them
How To Assess Your Progress And Make Mid-Course Corrections
How To Use Story Gravity To Get To Your Ending
How to Find the RIGHT Ending
“What if the Book is Wrecked?”
How To Write The Ending That Sells The Next Book
How To Work With Editors, Agents, Marketing Departments, And Artists, And NOT Wreck Your Project
How to Plan Your Revision
How To NOT Fix What Ain’t Broken (While Still Fixing What Is)
How To Deliver What You Promised And What They Want On Deadline
How To NOT Be A One-Book Wonder: Learn to Produce Repeatable Results

More Course Materials

Along with the lessons each week, you get

a monthly movie to get you started with each month’s topic
copies of some of her manuscripts in multiple drafts so you can see how a pro writes and revises
full access to her private writing community where you can meet with fellow students and course graduates
access to a private workgroup where you can securely post and discuss your writing problems and triumphs with a small group of classmates
discounts on other courses at the Student Bookstore

Graduate Bonus

You also get the Graduate Bonus - a three-week mini-course with video, MP3s, and transcripts on How NOT to Write a Series… And Why You Don’t Want To. I’m very interested in writing series novels, so this bonus is exceedingly attractive to me. I want to know how to do it right, so I actually get my novels published.

Charter Member Bonus

Holly’s offering charter memberships in the Think Sideways course until midnight Eastern time TODAY, so you have to hurry. If you DO sign up before midnight tonight, you also get the Charter Member Bonus. It’s a live-interaction writing workshop called Graduate Novel. In this workshop, Holly writes a novel and details the process of writing it. Graduates write their novels and go through the process of writing them, and together, Holly and the graduates work through the course a second time, discussing problems and progress.

You could pay hundreds of dollars for an opportunity like the Graduate Novel workshop and most “gurus” would happily charge you that much to dispense their wisdom and knowledge. And Holly’s giving it away as a FREE bonus to her Charter Members. If you’re serious about your writing, and I know you are, you don’t want to miss out on this incredible opportunity.

Money’s tight these days with all the bad news about the economy, so I know you’re probably worried about what it will cost. Holly has two payment options available:

Option 1
$47 today, plus $47 monthly for five months. Lessons delivered via your secure student page every week for 25 weeks.

Option 2
$25 today, plus $25 a month for eleven months. Lessons delivered via your secure student page every other week for 50 weeks.

$47 a month for six months seems like an awful lot of money, I know. But think of it this way…

That amounts to:

1 medium pizza a week OR
2 McDonald’s meals a week OR
1 and a half new paperback books a week OR
movie tickets for you and your honey once a week OR
four Starbucks coffees a week

For me, getting my novel written and done right is way more important to me than pizza, McDonald’s or even books, right now. And I know it is for you, too.

If you decide to take Option 2, the cost is even less each week and very affordable.

I’ve been buying and using Holly’s books on writing for years and she gives incredible value for the money in everything she produces. Check out the amazing things that Holly will show you in the course and sign up for it tonight. You don’t want to miss out on a great opportunity to learn from one of the pros in writing.

I’m signed up and taking the course myself. Come join me, but do it before midnight Eastern tonight!
