Summary:

Novels tend to fall apart around 30,000 – 40,000 words, the last section written not in that first rush of excitement of a new idea but often abandoned in a slog of insecurity and grouchiness. This course will help you approach finishing your novel with confidence. With exercises, coaching and a whip if need be, Nina Killham will help get you to the finish line. Because as anyone in the industry knows, finishing your novel is just the beginning.
