Just Write! With The Great Courses Plus

Every year, we’re lucky to have great sponsors for our nonprofit events. While it may seem like your list of questions about writing, editing, and publishing gets longer every day, The Great Courses Plus, a NaNoWriMo 2018 sponsor, is here today with some courses to help you write your way through November:

50,000 words.

FIFTY.

THOUSAND.

WORDS.

If you’ve committed to NaNoWriMo, you’ve signed up for one month to write 50,000 words in 30 days.

Don’t panic! Deep breath. You can do it. And The Great Courses Plus is here to help.

The countdown to November has started, and now is the time to prepare. With The Great Courses Plus, you can get motivated by looking at what first sparked your love of writing as you gain illuminating insights about beloved books and authors. Dig deep into visionary science fiction, heart-stopping mystery and suspense, or the beautiful and terrifying worlds of utopian and dystopian literature. No matter what genre you’re working in, discovering how your favorite writers write and breaking down why your favorite works work is both inspiring and edifying.

You can also step back and examine the technique of great writing at a higher level, from the nuts and bolts of grammar and vocabulary, to crafting the perfect sentence, to putting it all together and getting your works published. You’ll gain expert tips, tricks, and techniques that help you take your writing to the next level, move past writer’s block and other common obstacles, and apply a critical eye to your final product.

Led by renowned authors, writing professors at top universities, publishing industry experts, and more, this carefully-curated selection of Great Courses gives you a myriad of resources at your fingertips that provide help, inspiration, and encouragement for every step of your process.

The Great Courses Plus provides more than just storytelling help. Need to know the historical chain of events to make your story authentic?

We’ve got more than 10,000 videos across dozens of subjects to help you access all the information you need for whatever you’re writing about.
