I won a 6-month membership to WritingMastery.com as a writing contest prize and I intend to keep it up past that period. I frequently recommend this membership to other writers because it has proven so valuable. Thank you, Jessica!

Drafting my first novel in November 2022 during NaNoWriMo was fun and easy. It wasn't until I started revising that I realized I had no idea what I was doing. I immersed myself in WMA courses while attacking revisions. I learned so much from every course and my story got better and better! But, I found my scenes meandered, even though I thought I was applying what I was learning from courses and webinars. It wasn't until I took Jordan's Scene Crafting course that things came together. Now, before beginning a scene revision (yes, it's 10 months later - a lot to learn), I outline the scene in the notes section of Scrivener for the given scene. I'm using a combination of Jordan's four-part scene structure and Lisa Cron's Cause & Effect structure. It's been so much easier to write scenes that are well paced, maintain tension, and move the story along in alignment with the 15 Beats I created using Jessica Brody's Save the Cat structure. I was initially concerned that all this structure would inhibit creativity, but I think it's been the opposite. I feel more creative! Perhaps it's because I'm not trying to create the story while trying to tell it.

In WM courses... I find that I generate characters, situations, and other ideas that I end up incorporating into my own fiction. Thanks so much for the inspiration!

My name is Maria, and I write speculative literary fiction. My biggest challenge has been overcoming doubt and anxiety about doing things "right". Between the fast drafting course, the querying an agent course, and the revision course, I've felt confident enough to trust myself and be patient too. Couldn't be where I am without Writing Mastery Academy's compassionate, clear, and empowering approach.

The course library has been my haven for mastering novel writing. Jessica is such a gifted teacher and mentor. 


The Academy has done more for me than any of the other courses I've taken. It's been like a DIY MFA program. Thanks so much!

I highly recommend the Writing Mastery Academy by @JessicaBrody and all of her resources but specifically the revising a novel class! It’s $15/month for ALL of her courses and they are all so valuable.
