Even though my new Holly’s Writing Classes site is still in high beta, I’m delighted to finally have the writing shop open. We haven’t made the site pretty yet, and for the moment the shop is very plain and simple (no frills), but things work now. So I’ve brought back many of my previous classes, and am still working on … Continue reading →

This is the follow-up post to Uncrippling the Lesson. As I said I would, I paid my book packager to create a separate version of How To Think Sideways, Lesson 6 that did not include links to Apple. I uploaded the corrected version. A couple days later, I got this message: Dear Holly Lisle, One or more assets from your … Continue reading →

Professional Plot Outline is coming out first, NOT How To … Continue reading →

My Magic Button at iBooks showed up today, and I have now uploaded Plot Clinic, Culture Clinic, Language Clinic, and Page-Turning Scenes to Apple. Probably on Friday you’ll be able to find them there. Virtual double-chunk chocolate-chip cookie to the first person who spots them before I do. 5:04 pm – Just Heard… The queue for books to go live … Continue reading →
I have the temporary front page up here: http://novelwritingschool.com/ I have beta testers going through a free plot-outline course (a major upgrade on the current version done via e-mail on THIS site). We’re finding bugs and getting them out of the way now. Once we get the bugs out, this will go live for EVERYONE, well before November. Probably next … Continue reading →
