Start Here: Introduce Yourself & Find Your First Course

Welcome to The Write Angle.

Introduce yourself in General discussion: what you write, your current project, and one thing you’d like help with. Reply to another writer and choose your first task.

YOUR AUTHOR ROADMAP

Choose the phase that matches your current project. You can move between phases as your needs change.

1. PLAN YOUR BOOK

For a novel idea or scattered notes: start with Plot Your Novel with CASCADE. First milestone: a working outline and the next three scenes you can write. Nonfiction authors: define your reader, your book’s promise, and a chapter outline.

2. WRITE AND REVISE

Start with Write Scenes That Keep Readers Reading for fiction craft. First milestone: draft or revise one scene and explain the change you made. Bring a focused question to the community.

3. PREPARE TO PUBLISH

Use the Writing & Publishing Video Library for the publishing question in front of you. First milestone: a checklist of what your book still needs—editing, formatting, cover, and publishing details—and one completed task.

4. REACH READERS

Start with The Craft of Writing Newsletters, including the live newsletter class. First milestone: plan your next newsletter with a subject line, useful content, and an invitation to reply.

AI FOR YOUR AUTHOR BUSINESS

Explore AI within the task you’re doing: brainstorming options, diagnosing a scene, planning reader communication, or supporting business tasks. Bring the problem and your result, and keep your own judgment at the center.

YOUR FIRST WEEK

Introduce yourself, choose one phase, complete one relevant lesson or activity, and share your result or question. You do not need to finish every course before making progress.
