    About the Challenge

    Join the 10K Writing Challenge and take the first step toward writing your novel!

    This year, we’re back with live classes taught by Mary designed to guide you through the key elements of crafting a strong novel opening.

    You’ll have the chance to write alongside other passionate writers in our co-writing sessions, and you’ll receive a free workbook packed with all the lessons to help you stay on track. Plus, you’ll be able to work at your own pace and revisit class replays anytime.

    Lessons will take place live on weekdays at 1pm ET, but replays will be available if you miss.

    Reserve your spot today and get ready to bring your story to life!
