GET INSTANT ACCESS →“Over the years, I've tried to write by myself and never made any kind of progress. I was frustrated and about to give up on my novel when I found this course—and I'm so glad I did. I learned more from working with Savannah than I have from years of my own research—and I finally finished an entire draft of my novel!”

GET ON THE WAITLIST →“I had a TON of ideas for a story but no idea what to do with them. I write fantasy so I usually get consumed in world-building or creating cool magic systems, but all that doesn't make a story. And it can actually get quite overwhelming. Savannah helped me cut through the noise and focus on what was most important in my story and I finished my first 100,000-word draft! So excited!"
