Description: I believe nearly all of us have at least one good novel inside of us patiently waiting to be shared with the world. Where you start and how you progress these thoughts into words and the journey of your story, is what this course is designed to help you accomplish.

Over a six week period we will go over the many aspects that you as upcoming writers will need to consider, and or practice to complete your novel that explores the full imagination of the readers.

My goal for this course will be to help you understand why there are many steps for you to consider during the development of your novel, which include but not limited to the following:

Designing a footprint for your story

Research for the book

Developing a character list

Prioritizing the characters (A,B,C’s)

Compiling a list of chapters with titles

Building the layers of the story

The purpose of the story

How to engage the reader's imagination

Structuring the sentences

Building depth and emotion

The importance of inner monologue

What does the Title of your book say

The cover

The synopsis

Author Bio

Introduction

Who is your intended reader

Editing

Proofreading

Journeys end and next steps

Instructor John Phillips: After spending many years in the corporate world, both in the Chemical and Pharmaceutical world, John took a sabbatical to fulfil and cross off his bucket list to write his novel “The Dark Hurts’ which is now published. His second book is now in the works “The Piano Man’ and with two more books on the drawing board.

John was born in Southern England. After finishing his education in London and with three qualifications, he spent many years in the Chemical Industry, which took him to destinations throughout Europe, Africa, Asia and North America. The frequent and long flights gave John’s interest in writing a chance to grow first with technical presentations at both national and international conferences around the world, and then later developing storylines for his novels.

John moved to the USA in August 1998, arriving in Tampa, Florida. Tampa continues to be his home, where he lives with his wife, Cristy, and their two dogs. When asked about life, John states: “I have been lucky enough to travel around the world several times. To me, travel is knowledge. Where you go, and who you meet makes you who you are. My family, extended family, friends - all of them - makes this chapter in my life so meaningful. I am excited to embrace all the chapters still to come!” https://www.authorjohnphillips.com/
