Darling Axe Academy
It's none of their business that you have to learn how to write. Let them think you were born that way.
—Ernest Hemingway
Self-paced courses
Darling Axe self-paced courses replicate the curricula of many university MFA programs, but without the pressure of workshop deadlines.
Query Quest: a course for querying authors
This deep-dive course covers everything you need to know about the querying process, including activities for self-assessment, examples of killer synopses and query letters, interviews with agents, an analysis of the reality of landing representation, plus many more resources.
Best-laid plans: a novel outlining seminar
Work at your own pace from a "by the seat of your pants" summary to a full novel blueprint—fleshed out into either chapters or scenes. Includes in-depth guides on narrative structure, perspective, characterization, and more.
Workshops
So far 2020 is proving to be a busy year. As such, our workshop series is not currently available. Stay tuned!
