Here's the link for detailed info and signup

Absolutely the best free writing course you'll ever take. Weekly video lessons from faculty and polished novelists. Assignments you can handle. Helpful critique from an international community of writers. Maybe lifelong writer friends.

I submitted revisions of Prison of the Soul as my assignments as the start of a major rewrite. The finish was publication of the novel with a polished sheen.

Funny. I expect your writing to be excellent, you know. I may have a difficult time finding the words for a great comment, but I will try.
