About this audiobook
Are you ready to become an Extreme Novelist?
Can’t find the time, energy, or self-confidence to get your novel written? Have life’s distractions and demands stopped you from completing the book of your heart? You’re not alone. Every year, through no fault of their own, intelligent, dedicated writers just like you feel this same frustration and fall short of their dreams of becoming successful novelists. Because they haven’t yet learned the secrets that every pro knows.
The Extreme Novelist’s time-tested methods gently inspire and guide the writer to complete a rough draft of a novel in just two months. Originally, these techniques were developed for a popular course by the same name, taught by the author at The Writer’s Center in Washington, DC. By mastering the simple methods introduced in this book, writers of any genre will commit to an aggressive writing schedule, gain confidence in their fiction skills, and double or even triple their weekly word count. They’ll learn how to deal with real-life issues such as time management, establishing a truly productive writing environment, and getting a book written despite distractions (e.g., the dreaded day job). Discover the satisfaction of living the life you’ve always dreamed of—as a confident, successful novelist. Become an Extreme Novelist.
Bio: Kathryn Johnson, professional writing coach, motivational speaker, and author of over forty published books has shared her insights on the craft of fiction with other writers across the U.S. for over twenty years.

Reviews for The Extreme Novelist
2 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A good primer on setting time to write, putting your story down on paper (literally or otherwise), and not getting too caught up with stylistic niceties. Write your book in eight weeks. Cleaning up the prose and filling in holes are for the second draft/editing process. Provides plenty of motivation and ideas to assist with sitting in a chair and producing a fist draft of a novel.
