Writing Novels That Sings:  Write Fiction With Great Voice


This is part of a series of writing courses, taught by literary agent Sally Apokedak, that will help you if you are trying to get an agent, sell to a publisher, or sell your self-published books directly to the reader. After reading thousands of queries, Sally has come to believe that four things are essential if you want to write novels that will sell.



VOICE is one of those essentials. It's the first thing agents notice when they open your novel manuscripts or nonfiction books.


Whether you're writing novels or creative nonfiction books, this writing course can help you. If you're unpublished and having a hard time breaking in or if you're published but having a hard time breaking out, this course will help you.
You get the voice lectures that Sally gives at writers' conferences around the United States, but you get them at a fraction of what they normally cost.
Plus, you can take them in your own home, at your own pace, you don't have to pay for a hotel, and you have lifetime access to these lectures.
