I'll be sending out one final reminder email later today for Finish Your Novel ... if you'd prefer not to receive this email, just click

✨ Today's the last day to register for Finish Your Novel!

I won't be running this six-week course again until after the new year.
Here's what you need to know, in case you missed my emails earlier this week (longer version below).
Finish Your Novel is a small group course (max 8 people). What you'll get:
🚀 Six weeks of writing momentum, with lots of support from me
💻 Weekly check-ins, calls, videos & worksheets to keep you on track
🗓️ Runs from Mon 20th Oct to Sun 30th Nov
It's designed to get you well on the way to "the end" of your current novel draft.
Whether you're stuck, or just going slower than you want, we're here to help!
Come and find out all about it, and join us here:

Here's what A.J. Linney, author of Bitter Pill, said about Finish Your Novel:
"This course has been just what I needed. I am at the stage of working through a developmental edit on my second
novel, and this was the point where I felt exhausted and ready to put it aside. Instead, I joined Ali’s course and received the encouragement to continue instead of procrastinating!"
👀 Sneak Peek: Novel Structure Worksheet
We'll be working in detail on novel structure during the first week of Finish Your Novel. Here's a free copy of our worksheet for you ... I'll be covering this in a video, with examples, inside the group on Monday.

Finish Your Novel: What You Need to Know
Finish Your Novel is a small (max 8 people) group with:
🖊️ Weekly small-group calls with me for feedback (and help if you're stuck)
🖊️ Weekly check-ins to help you stay on track and build serious momentum
🖊️ Weekly themed videos & worksheets for practical writing support
🖊️ A friendly community of writers who really get it, messy middles and all
🖊️ Direct support from me in our private group space, as often
as you need it
This isn't the kind of course where you're left to work through things on your own, or a massive group where you feel lost in the crowd. I'm limiting the group to 8 people max, and I'll always be around to answer questions and cheer you on.
By the end of the six
weeks, you'll have:
✨ A full outline of your novel's key plot points
✨ A clear roadmap for getting to "the end" (or you might already be there!)
✨ Serious progress on your current draft
✨ Much more confidence in your
writing
We start Week 1 on Monday, 20th October. This week (Week 0), we're setting goals, sharing about our novels / novel ideas, and getting to know one another.
Price
I hate it when people hide the price (I nearly missed out on a fabulous business group recently because I assumed it was going to be too expensive 😅 ) so here it is, upfront.
"Finish Your Novel" is $200 (£150) for the full six weeks, which you can pay upfront or in six weekly installments (6 x $33 or 6 x £25).
Registration closes TODAY (Friday 17th), so that everyone has at least a couple of days to settle into the group before we begin Week 1 next Monday.
The sooner you join, the sooner you can get started! Your goal-setting video and worksheet is already available in our private group
space.
Who is Finish Your Novel For?
Finish Your Novel is for
anyone working on a novel that's not yet finished. ;-)
Typically, people join because they're feeling a bit stuck, or they're not making progress as quickly as they wanted with their novel.
You might be at one of these stages:
💡 You've got a novel idea ... but you keep putting off getting started
✂️ You've written one chapter ... but you can't seem to stop editing it
❓ You've got a rough first draft ... but you don't know where to go next
🕰️ You've written several drafts ... but you're
rapidly losing the will to carry on
🐢 You've made progress alone ... but it's been much slower than you wanted
Wherever you are with your novel, Finish Your Novel will help you get past any "stuck" bits and move forward much faster.
