Are You Dreaming of Writing a Novel . . . Someday?
Which of these describes YOU?
If you checked any of the statements above, then you are precisely the person I created this web site for. I help turn wannabe writers into gonnabe writers. I teach the craft of writing great fiction. I teach how to write a killer book proposal. I teach how to find the right agent. I teach how to sell your novel to those pesky publishers. And I teach how to do "Mad Genius Marketing" for your novel once it's written -- because your publisher is way more likely to promote your work if you're promoting it yourself.
Teaching all that is a pretty tall order. You may be asking who exactly do I think I am? That's a fair question.
The short answer is that I've been there. I did my time as a wannabe -- for a lot longer than any sane person should have to. I spent 12 years from the day I started writing my first novel until the day I saw it on the shelves. But that was a long time ago. I've now published half a dozen novels. I've won about a dozen awards and honors for my fiction writing. I've been teaching fiction at writing conferences for years.
That's enough about me. If you want to know all the gunky personal details, shame on you, but check out my personal web site. On the other hand . . .
If you want to learn more about writing fiction, then stay right here. Let me give you a quick rundown on what I've got on this site:
- Articles on organizing and creating and marketing your fiction.
- Talks on organizing and creating and marketing your fiction.
- My blog, with my latest thoughts on organizing and creating and marketing of your fiction.
- Archives of my Advanced Fiction Writing E-zine, my FREE monthly email newsletter on organzing and creating and marketing your fiction.
You're probably noticing a pattern here. I focus on teaching three things:
- Organizing your writing life.
- Creating fiction.
- Marketing fiction.
That's what I care about, because that's what will make you or me or anyone else successful as a writer. Being pretty won't help. Being popular won't help. Using great fonts won't help. Great organization keeps you productive. Great creative skill will sell you to the publisher. Great marketing will sell you to the reader.
So I teach organizing and creating and marketing. That's all I do on this site. Dig in. Pork out. Have fun!
Best regards,
Randy Ingermanson, Ph.D.
