With this series of 6 online MasterClasses, one a week, I’ll be your personal mentor. No longer will you have to go it alone.

The live MasterClasses will give you invaluable expert guidance and on-the-spot coaching to inform and inspire you. Plus, you’ll enjoy the camaraderie of a community of supportive writers.

Imagine this. Completing your book and celebrating, because you know it’s really good – the kind of book that can attract a top agent and win an offer from a major publisher.

There’s no satisfaction like that!

The Novel Writing MasterClass Series is open to writers at all levels:

  • If you’re at the beginning of your writing journey, you’ll find inspiration and a clear path forward.
  • If you’re an emerging writer, you’ll discover empowering skills to move up from “writer” to “author.”
  • If you’re a seasoned writer, you’ll learn how to boost your writing to the level of the “bestsellers.”
  • You’ll finish the 6 MasterClasses with a deep understanding of how to develop, focus, and enrich your story— and the confidence to complete it.

Robert
Rotenberg

“I took Barbara Kyle’s excellent Master Class when I was stuck with my first novel. I’ve recently finished my fourth book, and Barbara’s wise words constantly guide my way.”

Christine
Higdon

“Barbara Kyle was clear, down-to-earth, inspiring, and encouraging. As well, Barbara is the queen of plot, and I am forever grateful for her wise, pragmatic, and gracious mentoring.”

C.S.
O’Cinneide

“I had almost given up on this novel. Then I took one of your Master Classes and that gave me the courage to go on. You provided invaluable feedback.”

Bruce
Gardner

“Barbara, what a tremendously positive impact you had on shaping the final version of this story. The honest and timely ‘tough love’ was absolutely indispensable. Can’t thank you enough.”

Bill
Prentice

“Thank you, Barbara. The insights and advice you offered helped me add depth and human complexity to the story that kicked it up two or three notches. Your inspiration made a huge difference.”

H.M.
Miller

“Barbara, your insights were incredibly helpful. Plus, you were able to address my concerns and questions. A fabulously productive investment. Thank you!”

EVERYONE WHO ENROLLS IN THE NOVEL WRITING MASTERCLASSES RECEIVES…

6 LIVE ONLINE MASTERCLASSES

In each MasterClass, held Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m. Eastern Time, I cover the key elements that create a compelling novel — and that all agents and publishers look for in a manuscript. These include maximizing the power of Deep Character, crafting winning story structure, writing dynamic dialogue, creating turning points, mastering POV (point-of-view), and developing your unique prose “voice”. Plus, I’ll give you essential tips about getting published. Each class provides lots of time for on-the-spot coaching with Q&A.

To prepare you for submitting your book to literary agents and set you on the path to publication.

Joining the group is totally optional: participate as often as you like, occasionally, or not at all – it’s up to you.

You’ll get priority scheduling if you’d like to go to the next level and purchase private mentoring with me. You’ll jump to the front of the line for Right Start Mentoring to help you get your book into top shape, either during the MasterClass Series or any time after the series ends.


CONFIDENCE

That Yes, you can do this!

 


The Novel Writing
MasterClass Series is
right for you if:

  • You’ve got story ideas but need some help getting organized
  • You feel you’re toiling away alone, without benefit of the expert feedback that can get you closer to your writing goals
  • You love writing, but fear you may not “have what it takes” to succeed
  • You struggle to find time to write while juggling work and family commitments, so you’d benefit from a focused program to keep you on track
  • You feel you’re making progress with your writing, but want to give yourself the gift of 6 weeks of support and guidance
  • Your inner perfectionist won’t let you stop micro-editing and move forward
  • You want to work with a pro to identify and improve possible weaknesses in your writing
  • You feel energized by connecting with others who are as serious about writing as you are

You will finish the Novel
Writing MasterClass
Series with:

⦿ A DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF HOW TO DEVELOP, FOCUS, AND ENRICH YOUR STORY
⦿ AN OPPORTUNITY TO PURCHASE MY PROFESSIONAL EVALUATION OF YOUR STORY’S OPENING SECTION
⦿ CRUCIAL TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES NECESSARY TO COMPLETE YOUR BOOK
⦿ FREEDOM FROM HAVING TO “GO IT ALONE”
⦿ CONFIDENCE TO MOVE FORWARD
