Fiction Writing Essentials: A 2-Hour Workshop

“5 Stars for an informative, and inspiring online workshop given by Mark McNease. The well organized 2 hour workshop provided just the right amount of content to help writers begin their creative path.  As an author of three books I found this course provided new insights into the craft of writing as well as reinforced others that needed a refresh.  Our instructor, Mark, an accomplished author, himself created a  2 hour workshop that was both educational and entertaining.” – Robert M.

“Well done …! I’m really impressed with your knowledge and experience; you have a lot of credibility when you talk about this subject. And reminding people that you’re sharing from your experience (e.g., know your ending is “my approach”) validates folks who might have a different approach.” – Stephen D.

“I liked attending [the workshop] and found it to be very informative. [Mark] packed a lot of information in a short time. And the two hours did go by fast.” – Charles S.

“Level up your writing game! I recently took this workshop and transformed my skills. McNease is a pro – always as an author I’ve long enjoyed, and now as an instructor. His knowledge and passion for writing are infectious.” – Rick R.

“I’m just beginning to dabble in fiction writing, so I was nervous about participating in Mark’s workshop, worried that I would not belong among more-experienced writers. It turns out that I had nothing to worry about! … I was warmly welcomed and encouraged by Mark and the other participants. Mark’s workshop was logically organized, well-paced, and packed with useful information. Mark was open and generous with his information and clearly embraced the concept that there’s no such thing as a dumb question. He draws from his vast experience, knowledge, and passion to provide practical, sometimes unexpected advice and guidance. I highly, highly (yes, that’s repetitive) recommend this workshop for anybody interested in beginning or moving forward in their writing journey. You won’t be disappointed!” – Amanda M.
