Write with Jane Austen: Masterclasses with the Master Storyteller
It is a truth universally acknowledged that if a writer wishes to write well, she should learn from the very best of writers. In other words, she should study with Jane Austen.
Write with Jane Austen is the definitive guide on improving your writing through lessons and examples from Austen’s six published novels and from her unpublished works. This book will help you craft a character’s internal and external journeys, create effective antagonists and obstacles, construct compelling relationships, capture a setting without disrupting the forward movement of the narrative, improve your style, and compose dialogue that brings the characters and story to life. Each chapter contains writing exercises to help you internalize and apply these principles.
Whether you write romance, women’s fiction, historical fiction, mystery, or any other genre, these masterclasses will enable you to emulate Jane Austen’s proven techniques and improve your storytelling. This guide will also increase any reader’s appreciation for Austen’s craft.
Write with Jane Austen is now available on Kickstarter
In addition to pre-ordering the book, on Kickstarter you can pledge for an accompanying workbook (which is a Kickstarter and writing conference exclusive!) and two types of writing classes.
Read the Original Blog: Jane Austen Writing Lessons
The book Write with Jane Austen began as a blog: Jane Austen Writing Lessons.
From 2020 to 2022, I posted writing lessons inspired by Jane Austen’s novels. Write with Jane Austen is inspired by the blog. The portions of the book that were originally in the blog have been heavily revised, and the book contains over 60% brand-new material, that has never appeared on the internet.
