I can sometimes comment on questions asked in the community. Further, the community itself is active, and both grads and current students discuss how they use lessons, techniques, processes, and structures.

I cannot grade homework. I created the courses because I don’t have the time for individual one-on-one feedback.

Since your “homework” is either writing your novel (or screenplay, or other story you intend to publish) or revising it, you have to learn the process of doing your core revision yourself…and then, depending on the path to publication you choose, either the agent you find by going the commercial publication route, or the editor you hire by going the self-pub route, will help you smooth off any remaining rough edges.

This is not a course with grades. This is a course where graduation means working toward selling your work.

Hi, I’m really sorry to be off topic here, but I can’t see anywhere else to ask. I’m trying to sign up for the class, but it just keeps taking me back to the same page, not to paypal. I don’t know if there’s a help button on the page, I can’t see anyway of getting help with it. I can’t post a new topic in the forum so I’m having to ask here.

Thanks

Comment on Upgrading “Think Sideways” by Gracie O'Neil

Well, I’m a prospective student and I’ve got to tell you I’m SO looking forward to starting to Think Sideways. In fact, I can’t wait. I’ve found wonderful gems in everything I’ve received from you–the things I’ve paid for AND the things you’ve given away. Here’s hoping your upgrade is progressing without too much weeping, wailing, and dental tension.
Thanks for all you’re doing, Holly. It’s much appreciated.
