ABOUT THE CLASS:
Fast Draft: It’s easy to come up with excuses why you can’t finish your manuscript. You’re busy, life is crazy, there is always something. The truth is there are no real excuses. If you want to sell a book, you have to finish. There’s no time like the present. Author Candace Havens has developed a step-by-step process to help you finish your work in progress in just two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, you’ll have your first draft.
Revision Hell: It can be daunting going back in and editing, tightening and cleaning up your manuscript. That’s why author Candace Havens developed a system to help get through that process step-by-step. In two weeks you’ll have a polished manuscript that is ready to sell.
