How to Write a Bestselling Novel

What People Are Saying… 

Susan May Warren's high energy, expertise, and heart are well matched and make her workshops both memorable and invaluable. Her practical insights and innate sense for what makes a story work enable writers to leave her classes with immediate answers to their writing dilemmas and a heightened enthusiasm for their projects.   --Cynthia Ruchti, President, American Christian Fiction Writers

This was fun, thoughtful, and thorough. Susan brought energy to the classroom that kept me focused, and her caring perspective makes even the toughest criticism easy to take.  It will take me days to digest everything showed us, and after thirty-some years of wanting to write, I finally feel equipped to write. --Sherrie Cherdak, aspiring author

This workshop is an incredible experience which I would definitely suggest to any unpublished writers looking to get published, or for beginning authors wanting to learn how to write a novel.  --Camille Fontenelle, aspiring author
