Prose in the Market Webinar Information:

I am running three session times to try and accommodate as many timezones as I can (more on this below).

"Writing to market" isn't new. But when teachers talk about it they focus on understanding the market, advertising, brand and pitch. But what about the writing and craft of writing to market? If you’re tired of trying to work out how to deliver what readers want, then this is the workshop for you.

In this session, I'll explain:

• How to deconstruct bestselling books and implement the tools you find
• An easy three step methodology for deconstruction
• Practical examples of deconstruction and implementation in your own work
• Why you’re not using copywriting enough
• How to intentionally slip TikTok-able/Marketable scenes into your novels that will hook readers
• The craft of tropes
• Live deconstruction using examples from those in the session.

You'll also receive a workbook containing exercises for you to implement all the things you learn during the session.

FAQ

Will this session be recorded? Will the recording be available for sale?

The session will be recorded. The recording will only be available to ticket-holders. I will not sell the recording. I am only doing these as live sessions. When I teach, I love to see everyone’s reactions and get audience participation. But depending on demand, I may run more of them in the future.
