The 90-Day Novel Challenge ·

2024/08/29

Breakout stories often present the genre in a new way. That’s one of the major storytelling lessons we can learn from The Godfather.

The 90-Day Novel Challenge ·

2024/08/26

There is one question that will fundamentally change your manuscript revision process. Did I write the story I intended to write?
