Does this sound like you?

Life is full. Between work, kids, or an endless to-do list, you generally know how to handle responsibility.

But there is a quiet world living in the back of your mind.

This story isn't just a hobby or fleeting daydream. It haunts you. It’s a sprawling fantasy world with characters that feel like old friends and a concept you know is special.

But every time you try to get it onto the page, you hit a wall:

The "Draft Graveyard": You have a folder full of exciting first chapters that died a slow death as soon as the initial spark faded.
The Time Trap: Your schedule is "time confetti"—scattered 20-minute windows between chores and chaos. Trying to build a novel in those moments feels impossible.
The Paralysis: You are drowning in contradictory advice, spending more time researching how to write than actually writing.

But the real reason you haven't finished isn't a lack of time.

It’s the fear that your skill level doesn't match your vision.

You are terrified that if you write this story now, you’ll ruin it. You’re afraid that the epic movie in your head will turn into a messy, embarrassing draft on the page. So, it feels safer to stall, to wait, to not start at all.

Now, if you are nodding your head at just one of the above, then take a breath.

Because the problem isn't you or your talent. It’s your process.

A Story That Matters Deserves a Process
That Honors It

For years, I believed the lie that great novels were born from flashes of unpredictable genius. I had dozens of half-finished drafts and a deep frustration that my execution never lived up to my vision.

Then, a quote changed everything: "Writing is a craft, not a mystery."

You see, great stories are rarely accidents. They are built. Systematically. Deliberately. With a process that can be learned, practiced, and perfected.

So I’ve spent over 20 years and earned a Master's degree in History to deconstruct what makes fantasy stories work.

The Complete System for Writing Your Fantasy Novel represents the essence of all the lessons I've learned the hard way. It is a structured, step-by-step framework that transforms your limited writing time into focused, effective progress for a story that resonates on a deep emotional level.

Most fantasy writers quit because their story becomes too big and tangled to hold in their head. This system gives you the architectural tools to weave together multiple POVs, subplots, and complex magic systems without the structure collapsing.

Stop wasting your limited creative energy on figuring out what to write next. The System handles the structural heavy lifting—with video lessons and worksheets for every step of the way—so you can spend 100% of your energy on the creative flow. Even after a long day at work.

Here's Exactly What You're Going to Get: The 5-Phase System

This isn't just a course; it's a complete, end-to-end system for building a novel from the ground up. And this is the journey we’ll take together:

Phase 1: Find Your Story's Heart
You'll transform that powerful but vague "haunting feeling" into a concrete, emotionally resonant core concept. We'll capture the lightning in a bottle—the core images, character voices, and thematic questions—so you have a clear foundation to build upon.

Phase 2: Architect the Emotional Journey
This is where we build the unshakable blueprint for your entire novel. You will master the five core frameworks: The Story Promise, The Logline, The Conflict Triangle, The Emotional Waypoints, and the capstone of this phase, The Scene Map—your complete, 15-scene narrative roadmap that encapsulates the entire emotional journey of your story.

Phase 3: Build the "Minimum Viable World"
Stop the endless worldbuilding. I'll give you a curated toolbox to design only the specific world elements—magic, history, races, and landmarks—that your story actually needs to create conflict and amplify emotion. We build with purpose, not for the sake of never-ending lore.

Phase 4: Translate Blueprint to First Draft
You'll learn the techniques to navigate the dreaded "saggy middle" with confidence. I'll teach you how to weave your core scenes together, manage tension with the "Yes, but... / No, and..." method, and implement my "Emotional First Draft" philosophy to get the story's soul onto the page without getting bogged down by perfectionism.

Phase 5: The Sculptor's Workshop (The Art of Revision)
The hardest part is done. Now, we begin the true art. I'll guide you through my structured, multi-pass revision system to transform your raw first draft into a polished, powerful manuscript you are profoundly proud of. This isn't about "fixing mistakes"; it's about revealing the masterpiece within.

You are reading this page for a reason

That story in your heart—the one you're terrified of failing —isn't getting any closer to being finished, is it?

The old methods clearly haven't worked. Waiting for inspiration, trying to "pants" your way through a sprawling fantasy novel, or drowning in the sea of contradictory online advice... it all leads back to the same place: overwhelm , frustration, and that folder of unfinished drafts.

You don't have 'writer's block.' You have Blueprint Deficiency. You are trying to decorate a house that has no walls.

So this is your "enough is enough" moment.

This is the moment to choose a different path.

BONUS: Magic System Workshop

A two-part series (50min of video) that walks you through a detailed step-by-step process for designing magic systems.

Don't waste another day. Take the step, and start doing your story justice.

FAQ

1. My schedule is chaos. Will I have time for this?

This system was designed for the "time confetti" schedule. The philosophy is about making your limited time effective. The 15-minute rule and the clear, step-by-step structure mean you can make tangible progress in short bursts, confident that every action is building toward the finished novel.
2. I'm more of a "pantser." Will this structure kill my creativity?

This is a common fear, but the system is designed to do the opposite. It provides the structure for your story's emotional journey, which liberates your creativity to flourish within that container.

The blueprint gives you the freedom to discover and innovate, knowing the core narrative is strong and won't fall apart in the middle.

See Christopher's 5-star review of the course: "As a pantser I was impressed by how easily the course materials fit into my way of writing. But equally I am sure they would help the most committed plotter to write a better novel."
3. Is this just for beginners? I've written before.

This is for any writer, beginner or experienced, who feels their process is holding them back from creating a novel that lives up to its potential.

Many students have already completed books but use the system to strengthen their work and make their next project even better. It’s about elevating your craft, no matter your starting point.
4. Will this system work for my specific subgenre (like LitRPG, Progression Fantasy, Cozy Fantasy, etc.)?

Absolutely. The system is built on the universal principles of storytelling—character transformation, conflict, and emotional resonance—that are the foundation of every great story, regardless of genre conventions.

We focus on building the 'engine' of your narrative, which you can then house in any fantasy world or ruleset you can imagine. The goal is to strengthen your core story, which will make your unique subgenre elements even more impactful.
5. How long do I have access to the course?

For life. Once you enroll, you have lifetime access to all the course materials, including all future updates and additions. As the course evolves, you will always have the latest version at no extra cost.

Every Day You Wait Is Another Day
Your Story Stays Untold.

Right now, you are at a crossroads.

You can continue down the path of scattered notes, stalled drafts, and the quiet fear that your special story will never become what it deserves to be.

Or, you can choose a different path. A path of clarity, confidence, and craft. A path that honors the story in your heart by giving it the process it deserves.

The world is waiting for the magic only you can share. Don't let it remain a ghost in your mind.

I didn’t know how much I needed this

Jan HB

I signed up for The Tale Tinkerer’s course after binge-watching a lot of Sascha’s superb YouTube videos. I felt confident that I had good ideas for my novel, but I wanted a bit of discipline and structure to get me beyond the day-dreaming stage and into production mode. Sascha’s amazing guidance has given me so much more than that. I’m now poised to begin my first draft armed with the knowledge that I have the most important elements of my story clear, on paper as well as in my head. Everything I write now will build from that and it won’t get lost in the enthusiastic flow of my writing; nor will I get side-tracked by world-building or map-making, except where it’s absolutely relevant to the development of my story. The way Sascha presents his ideas and techniques is excellent, with snappy videos, lots of examples and great supporting documentation and worksheets. I highly recommend this course.

Excellent course

Christopher Wills

This is an excellent course that has made me think deeply about my novel and will undoubtedly help me produce a much better story. I am writing a 3 book sword and sorcery fantasy and have already complete the first book. This course is a perfect prompt for me to strengthen book 1 and it will guide me toward a no-doubt best-selling series. As a pantser I was impressed by how easily the course materials fit into my way of writing. But equally I am sure they would help the most committed plotter to write a better novel. I have enjoyed the fact that it is not just a regurgitation of the Hero's Journey and goes deeper into what makes a story interesting to the reader. The instructor clearly knows what he is talking about and I would recommend this course to anyone committed to an adventure with a sword in their hand.

New Clarity For My Writing

David Tucker

Writing is always something I've enjoyed as a hobby but I've always wondered if I could write something that I thought was good enough to try and share with the world. My computer is littered with many finished first drafts that I closed the book on and moved on. But the past few years I've had that itch to do something more. I spent a year writing a draft for a fantasy story that felt like it had all the beats but none of the heart I was looking for. It told a story that I wanted to tell but not in a way that was compelling enough. There is so much great general writing advice out there but I realized that none of it was speaking to what a fantasy novel needs for its story. I started watching some of Sascha's content on YouTube and realized that he was hitting so many of the points that I needed to make my story more compelling. I decided to take a chance and try his course. This has been a fantastic value in both time and money. As I've gone through it, I have seen my idea become more focused and grow the heart that its always been missing. The story I want to tell hasn't changed but all of the pieces have been falling into place. Sascha's feedback during the course work has been invaluable. While I think the lessons here can apply to most types of fiction, if you're looking for a way to enhance your ability to craft a fantasy narrative that readers can immerse themselves into, this is a really great place to start.

I can see now

josh scott

I found a lot of value watching Sascha's YouTube channel. When I came across his writing course, i was hesitant. I thought, what else could he possibly teach that's not already on his youtube channel? I was WRONG. If you're anything like me, I've started, abandoned, and restarted many stories. I had all these great ideas, but when I tried to weave them together, they just ended in a messy knot. This course has given me real structure. I can see my story unfolding with so much more clarity. I was trying to take all these cool ideas and piece them together, but this course taught me it's about starting from the very core and working your way out. This is exactly what I've needed, and I can't recommend it enough. If you're having trouble gaining momentum in your story or even starting it, this course is worth every penny.

Just like his Youtube videos

Connor Salvatore

Everything in this course makes you think. It does not give you straight answers what you should do, but what you could do. The gears in my head were spinning with every new topic. I've been taking so many notes and already wrote my magic system, which i am very happy with. I am looking forward to the additional content he teased and will definitely subscribe to any course he is offering in the future. This man deserves much more subscribers on Youtube. Thank you so much for helping us out.

Extremely Helpful!

Robyne Lopez

This course has so much information packed into it! The videos are clear and concise, and the instructor doesn't waste your time by repeating himself or extending the videos with vague tips. The additional written guides and worksheets help expand on the videos, providing amazing examples and thought-provoking questions you can apply to your own novel. This is not your run-of-the-mill beginner writing advice you see all over the internet. This is information that will help you truly deepen your story, and will help you look at it from multiple perspectives in order for you to determine how to tell your story best. I will continue to refer back to this course while crafting my story. I'm so glad I went through this course, and I would reccommend this to anyone working on a novel!

Helpful framework for developing my story

Val Byfield

I have found the course so far immensely helpful in working out the details of my story and the emotional journey my characters must make. The videos, guides and worksheets have allowed me to think more deeply about my characters, how they relate to each other and the world around them, the choices they must make, and how they deal with the consequences of their actions.

Thank You

Erica Hannah

Thank you, Sacha. You have truly given me a complete system for writing a fantasy novel. At first, when I was going through this course, I didn’t write much of my novel, and I was worried that I would never finish it at all, but now I realize that I can always go back to this course, this time to finish my novel. Thank you and Happy New Year! I hope that you will read my first novel soon. 🤗
