CoachingBy September C. Fawkes
Dave has helped numerous authors hit the New York Times Bestseller lists, so one of his most frequent questions is “How can I break into writing quickly?” In this series of lectures, Dave talks about some of the steps you need to take in order to build a successful career as a writer.

CourseBy David Farland
For many writers, the most difficult part of a novel to write is the middle. Even professionals who outline well will often find that at the midpoint, they tend to second-guess their work, sit back and analyze their opening, consider their ending, and try to figure out how to get there in a way that will be entertaining and powerful.
CourseBy David Farland
In Powerful Endings, you will learn how to write the final struggle for your protagonist, how to handle the last try/fail cycle and the reversal, how to create a redemption or suitable fate for your contagonist. In this nine-part course, you’ll also learn about the denouement, how to bring closure to a story with surprising twists and stack scenes so that the conclusion is more impactful than the sum of its parts.

Many new writers put together a great book proposal, then send it to a lousy agent or publisher. By doing that, they may set their own career back by 5 years.

Just as importantly, I’ll give advice to help you decide whether to go Indie, because in some genres, you might not even want a publisher, and getting one could hurt your career.
