COURSE STRUCTURE – The course will be divided into short 5 to 10-minute videos to make the concepts easier to digest. Throughout the story, Mark will use his 29th novel, I Hate It When Aliens Do That, as an example. He’ll show where he applied the different storytelling strategies in this book and why he made these choices.
FREE NOVEL – Everyone who takes this online course will receive an electronic copy of I Hate It When Aliens Do That. This way, young writers can learn about all the concepts being taught in the course, and see the final effect of these strategies in Mark’s book.
SEEING YOUR FIRST BOOK IN PRINT – It is a great moment to experience when your child opens an Amazon box and pull their book out and hold it for the first time, their name on the cover in big letter. I still remember that moment when I pulled out my first book from that Amazon box and held my book for the first time. I was 50 years old at the time, and it felt pretty special. For a young child, the boost to their self-esteem must be epic!
