ā
You get tasks to complete each week, and word count targets that will take your book from start to a completed 50,000-80,000-word manuscript if you follow the steps clearly.

You can join the once-a-month Three-Day Writing Binge (online), where we write for 8 hours a day for 3 days.

HOW DO THE 100 DAYS WORK?ā
We know most writers need a few things to make real progress in their writing:
ā
1. Some clear steps to follow
2. Experienced mentors to give you the right advice, hold you accountable and make sure you get it done.
3. A place to ask questions when you get stuck
You are getting these three key elements. The mentorship is highly successful because of the many accountability factors we have in place. āThese are the real day-to-day nudges that are included, to keep you writing, keep you inspired and most importantly help you over your writing slumps.
HOW DOES IT WORK?
WHAT HAPPENS - PRACTICALLY?
āIn a nutshell, you will plan, write, and produce your first draft over 100 days (realistically about 4 months with all the planning). We follow the steps below. Each step will move in a linear fashion to take you from an idea to a completed draft.
ā
At the end of just over three months, you will have a book in your hand.
Here’s how this is going to work. It is practical and based on our years of walking writers down the path to publication.
There are a few parts to this that sort of add up to 100 days. Well the working part does.
Part 1 [10 days] Plan.
Time to design and plot your book
Part 2 [90 days] Write!
You write hard and fast with a view to getting down a minimum of 50,000 words
WHAT WILL YOU LEARN
For most of this process, we are going to focus on the first 100 Days, and we are going to push, prod, and drive you to get to that point. What point? The point where you are sitting with your first draft in your hand. The 100 Days deadline means you have 10 days of planning and 90 days of solid, frenzied writing to get you there. Easy? You bet.
