This late-story moment is iconic, a scene that leaves readers feeling happy and fulfilled and can set your author brand apart.

- Understand the 3 key elements that must happen in the story BEFORE a Grand Gesture can happen.
- Check the emotional strength of your hero’s growth arc and spot when it needs MORE development.
- Script your hero’s big Grand Gesture moment using a FILL-IN-THE-BLANKS “Line Lib” that doesn’t require any planning or outlining.

In addition to the in-depth video instruction, the Romancing the Grand Gesture course also includes:
- Extra study resources, including a Q&A bonus video featuring two fiction book coaches.
- Ongoing (”lifetime”) access to the course.

If you're serious about writing memorable character-driven fiction books that readers rave about, the Romancing the Grand Gesture course is the perfect way to bring all your writing skills together to craft a single powerful scene.

You've finished your draft and now it's time to think about revisions. But how do you know where to start? How do you know how much of your story you should revise?

This course started as a quick, 5-question flowchart that can expose some of the most critical problems I see in early story drafts. But the lessons inside take that learning even deeper. The first revisions you do on a draft should be the ones that affect the whole story. Because if you do need rewrites, you want to be as efficient as possible about making those changes.
