Are you a writer who dreams about creating a great story with characters who live beyond the realm of time and place? Does your mind twist and turn with plot scenarios? Do snippets of dialogue play out before your mind, and oh, the setting ideas.
But something keeps holding you back, and the dream of writing and publishing a story lay dormant. Perhaps you’re tired of living in an imaginative state. Are you ready to give up? Or are you ready to move forward!
What if the following three bestselling writers taught a retreat where the craft is taught, practiced, and critiqued under the instruction of a mentor?
Is lack of confidence stopping you?
If so, I challenge you to register for Mountainside Novelist Retreat, October 6-9 at Ridgecrest, North Carolina.
Are you concerned about characterization?
We will show you how to develop three-dimensional characters who will leap from the page.
Does the idea of establishing a plot scare you?
We will help you plot out your story according to your personal method of writing.
Do you trip when writing dialogue?
What our characters say through words or body language reveals who they are, and we will show you how that’s done.
Have you heard setting must be antagonistic, but you have no clue what that means?
We will show writers how to build their story world and force the character to change and grow through setting.
Does the concept of emotion and symbolism plant seeds of doubt in your ability as a novelist?
We understand! We will show you how to add the emotional tension in your story needed for the reader to continue turning pages.
Do you long for a mentor?
The Mountainside Novelist Retreat is mentor-driven for all novelists regardless of the writing level.
Is your hurdle not knowing where to begin?
I challenge you to begin now by securing your spot in the Mountainside Novelist Retreat. There, you’ll be given many tools to ensure you’re a dynamic novelist.
Do you prefer a smaller environment to learn the craft?
The Mountainside Novelist Retreat is intentionally small so our writers can bond with others while learning the craft.
Are you a writer who needs direction?
If so, I challenge you to register for the Mountainside Novelist Retreat.
Now is the time to get serious about writing a great story. What are you waiting for?
