Robin's Roost Inc.

Mary Robinette is one of the most celebrated SFF writers and she breaks down her process in a way that is understandable for new and experienced writers. She shows you her tools and you can pick what you need for your process. I have watched this video multiple times as I edit my novel.

It's not often that you get a chance to interact with a well-known fiction editor and novelist online, getting your questions answered about how to edit your own work. This class offers exactly that. I had heard for years about Mary Robinnete's editing courses and when I finally got the chance to attend one, I jumped at it. I wasn't disappointed. Highly recommended.

This class was extremely useful in my attempts to improve my stories. Mary presents concepts and exercises that are useful and revelatory.

I love Mary Robinette Kowal's classes because of the tools she's created to help understand nuts-and-bolts of craft, and her warm and inclusive approach cuts through the frustrations I run into working on my writing. In her approach generally, and this class specifically, she's taken the time to figure out how to pinpoint what's going when something's not working. What helps me is to learn: the issue is diagnosable, and it's fixable. If a reader (or you) are bored by a section, this doesn't mean (as my anxiety brain so helpfully tells me), 'you suck at this and you should stop.' It simply means there's a technical reason for the issue, and you can fix that issue. In addition to the practical information in the course, I've gotten hope when I needed it. Invaluable.
