11-PART COURSE ON HOW TO WRITE AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL FICTION
Your life is already happening. The hard part is turning it into a story someone else wants to read—one that doesn't just report what happened but shapes it, cuts it, fibs a little where mendacity serves the truth. That's what this course is for.
Ten parts, built with Brad Listi—who's spent over a decade on Otherppl asking hundreds of novelists how they actually did it—covering everything from finding your angle of entry to handling the people in your life who might one day be your readers, to the sentence-level work of making memory into fiction.
No workshop fluff, no vague inspiration. Just the specific mechanics of turning your material into fiction. One purchase, all eleven parts, yours to work through at your own pace.
