Does This Feel Familiar?

You're successful in other parts of your life. You have a demanding career, a family, responsibilities—you know how to get things done.

But this... this is different.

There's a story living in your head. It’s more than just a hobby; it’s part of your identity. A sprawling fantasy world, characters that feel like real people, a concept so special you're almost afraid to touch it.

And that's where the trouble starts.

- You've tried to start, maybe multiple times. You have a folder of 20,000-word documents that died a slow death in the "saggy middle."

- Your schedule is "time confetti"—scattered pockets of 30 minutes where trying to tackle a whole novel feels impossible.

- You're drowning in a sea of contradictory writing advice online, leaving you paralyzed, not knowing whose process to trust.

But those are just the surface problems. The real fear, the one that keeps you up at night, is much deeper:

You're terrified of failing your story.

You believe your idea is special, and the thought that your lack of skill will produce a pale, embarrassing shadow of the vision in your head is paralyzing. The fear of wasting hundreds of precious hours on a broken draft is so great that it's easier not to start at all.

You feel like a fraud in the creative world, wondering if you have the "natural talent" to do this story justice.

If this resonates, you are in the right place. And I want you to know, the problem isn't you. 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."

Great stories aren't accidents. They are built. Systematically. Deliberately. With a process that can be learned, practiced, and perfected.

I’ve spent over 20 years and earned a Master's degree in History to deconstruct what makes fantasy stories work. I’ve reverse-engineered the principles of epic storytelling into a clear, manageable, and deeply rewarding system designed specifically for writers like you.

The Complete System for Writing Your Fantasy Novel is not another collection of vague tips. It is the antidote to overwhelm. It is the structured, step-by-step framework that transforms your limited writing time into focused, effective progress. It is the roadmap that gives you the clarity and confidence to finally do your story justice.

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.

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. What does the Founder Pricing mean exactly? What am I getting now vs. later?

    You're getting everything. By enrolling now at the lower Founder's Rate, you get immediate access to the complete original course, which is already a comprehensive, 5-star rated program.

    Then, as I release the new, more in-depth 5-Phase System videos over the next few months, you get them automatically added to your library for free. Once the upgrade is complete, new members will pay the final, higher price.

  • 5. 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.

  • 6. How is the personalized feedback delivered for the higher tiers?

    For the Atelier, blueprint feedback is delivered as detailed written comments directly on your submitted documents within our private course platform.

    For the Tier 3 First Chapter Analysis, you will receive a private link to a ~30-minute developmental video where I walk through your chapter, providing in-depth analysis and actionable advice.

  • 7. 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.
