3 Great Reasons to Join Novel Writing Help

#1 - Essential Novel Writing Advice

If you want to succeed in novel writing, you need the best information available. That is where Novel Writing Help comes in. The material on this website has been 25 years in the making...

You know all those creative writing guides you see in the book stores? Well, I've studied them all - all of the out of print ones, too.
You know those fiction courses that cost thousands? I've taken one or two in my time, and I've even tutored my own course.

In short, you won't have to commit the time and money to reading hundreds of books or taking expensive courses because I've already done the hard work for you.

You can access my comprehensive and time-tested techniques in two ways:

Your unique username and password will give you unrestricted access to every page on the site for life.
If you prefer, you can download everything to your desktop and even print it out.

The downloads are called The Essential Guides to Novel Writing...

There are 13 ebooks in all.
They contain everything you need to know.
They are professionally presented in PDF format.
Together, they add up to over 450 pages and 140,000 words.

Isn't that a lot of information to cover just the "essentials"? Yes, it is. But it is this attention to every detail that sets Novel Writing Help apart.

You see, I believe that kind of knowing your craft and being a master of your craft is what separates the winners from the also-rans in twenty-first century publishing.

"Hi Harvey. I would like to thank you for the greatest writing website that has ever been created...your work over the last 12 months has helped me to improve my writing skills as a future novelist. In all honestly, if I am ever to write a published novel it will be because of this website of yours."

#2 - A Lifetime of Bonuses

The Essential Guides might contain everything you need to succeed, but they are actually only the beginning. Where most creative writing courses stop, Novel Writing Help is just getting started. Let me explain...

At the time of writing (March 2010), I am entering the second phase of the site's development.

Phase I was writing the essential material - or the Novel Writing "Bible", if you like. That took a little under two years.
Phase II is about exploring even more advanced issues - so that as you grow as a writer over the years, the website will grow with you.

Here is a brief look at the advanced material I will be working on:

1. Advanced Novel Writing Articles

These weekly articles (often twice-weekly) will sometimes explore issues I have already covered in the Essential Guides, but in much greater depth, and sometimes brand-new issues.

(Note: some of the material will be freely-available - the "teaser" copy to tempt non-members to join - but predominantly it will be password-protected.)

2. Special Reports

Where an advanced topic is too broad to cover in a single article (even a lengthy one), I will write it as a special report instead.

Beginning with an in-depth look at How to Harness your Creativity, the quarterly reports will go on to explore Plot Blueprints, How to Write About Emotion, Archetypal Characters in Fiction...plus loads more.

3. The "Writers on Writing" Series

This is where I keep quiet for a while and give you the opportunity to learn from other voices. Great voices, in fact.

Each of these articles offers a fascinating insight into the mind of a famous name from literature.

So if you want to know what Raymond Carver thought about rewriting...
Or how John Steinbeck used insomnia to prepare for a week's work...

You won't want to miss these monthly articles.

(By the way, these last two features are strictly for members' eyes only. And all of this advanced material is downloadable too.)

And everything above is just what I have planned at the time of writing...

If I have managed to produce the 450-page Essential Guides (and the Resources Section) in two years working evenings and weekends...
Imagine how the site will look a decade from now with me working on it full time!

But that is not all...

#3 - Personal Feedback from Me

It is because I now work on Novel Writing Help full time that I am able to put aside a good portion of every day to corresponding with members.

So if you get stuck and want to ask me a question, I will be happy to help. (I no longer offer this service to non-members.)
And if you want to send me an extract of your novel for constructive criticism from an expert eye, I will be more than happy to oblige.

"As a paid member of your site I am extremely impressed by the wealth and depth of the information provided. I am really happy with your ability to come up with excellent answers to my questions and the beautiful quotes that bring all of your answers and articles to life. Keep up the excellent work."

Novel Writing Help Membership isn't one of those unscrupulous "take your money and run" deals. Simply contact me via the Members' Feedback page and you will have some friendly advice waiting in your inbox just a short while later!

And no, this service won't cost you a penny more. There are no hidden extras here. You pay a one-time fee and that is it...

Not only will you receive everything I have written so far (this material alone is more than enough for you to write a successful first novel)...
Not only will you receive everything I write in the years to come, helping you to develop as a writer...
Not only will I be here to answer your questions and offer expert feedback on your fiction...

But I will never ask you for another penny. Not for anything. Not ever!

Ready to Talk Business?

The cost of lifetime membership is just $49

I believe that represents remarkable value, considering that...

Quality novel writing courses cost thousands (though, to be fair, their overheads are much higher than mine).
Reading every decent writing guide you can lay your hands on will be a huge time commitment (it's taken me all my life!)

"I have been to many novel writing sites, but yours is the best. With your instruction techniques, you have given me the inspiration and help that I have been searching for in order to begin my novel writing journey. It is the best website ever. Thank you so much."

"I discovered your site in the later stages of writing my first novel. Never have the words 'better late than never' rang more true. The onerous stage of polish, review and rewrite has been made easier and, dare I say, almost enjoyable, with a little help from my new friend. I consult your pages every day as part of my writing warm up and it always helps."

P.S. If there is anything you are unsure about, please contact me. I am always here!
