That might seem like a lofty venture if you aren't a writer (or even if you are), but let me prove it to you!

About the Instructor

My name is Catherine. You have probably read something I have written, but you won't know my name. When I first graduated college, I was hopping between multiple high-stress, low-pay jobs. I felt like I was barely getting by, but I was running myself straight into the ground.

Ten years ago, I took a step back and looked at my life. I decided to make some big changes.

I became a freelance writer. I am not just any type of writer. I have ghostwritten countless books for other people.

Most people think they can't be writers. It is all just incredibly overwhelming. Where do I start? Why can't I ever finish? IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT! I can teach you the same system I use to EASILY write multiple books in a short period of time.

What if you could write a book in the next 30 to 60 days? My formula makes writing a novel EASY! You absolutely can write your novel in the next month, even if you have no clue where to start!
