Supporting you from start to finish

Would you like a course that guides you through the novel-writing process, from focusing your ideas, right through to plotting, characterisation, and description?

Look no further! This limited-time course includes workshops designed to help you build your writing confidence, come up with the perfect obstacles for your characters, and make your characters so realistic, when you talk about them, everyone will think they're real people.

Get accountable

It's all very well and good knowing these things, but what about if you get stuck? That's why you also get a support call on 25 August. Course participants and podcast patrons will sit down on Zoom to talk and troubleshoot.

Whether you can join us for the support call or not, you'll get lifetime access to all 5 workshops.

How's it work?

When you sign up, you'll get instant access to four workshops—Creative Confidence Class, How to Write Character Arcs, Consequences and Limitations, and How to Write Realistic Characters.

Then, on 12 August at 8pm BST, you can join us live on Zoom for Dialogue and Description: How to Make Them Work Together to Bring Your Book to Life.

Cameras and microphones will be off, so you can join in your PJs if you like (no judgment)! Whether you can make it live or not, you'll get lifetime access to the replay.

On 25 August at 7pm, we'll go live again, this time for a support call. You'll be able to talk with Kristina and other writers all about what you're struggling with on your work-in-progress, and you'll come away with solutions to keep you focused and accountable.

Thank you so much!

I am just at the beginning of my writing journey, and this course has given me so much information to help writing realistic well-rounded characters in my stories.

About Character Creation Crash Course

Wonderful insight for a beginner writer

Lindsey Dierlam

I really enjoyed this course. I am new to writing, and it gave me a deep perspective of how important it is to know who my character is, and gave a clear path on how to figure it out.

Creative Confidence Class

Would you like to improve the confidence, resilience, and focus skills you need to succeed as a writer?

In this workshop, we’ll cover the focus, mindset, and productivity techniques you need to achieve—and even surpass—your writing goals. Whatever you write, these skills will arm you with everything you need to succeed.

How to Write Character Arcs—Whatever Your Genre

A character arc can be an effective way to add depth to your characters and make your plot more interesting to read, regardless of your genre.

Using the 1999 film The Mummy as an example, we're going to break down the different types of character arcs, how they make your reader feel, and how you can use them in your writing.

Consequences and Limitations—In Fantasy Writing and Beyond

Grounding characters’ actions with real-life consequences can make your characters more realistic and your stories more page-turning, whatever genre you’re in.

On the other hand, when your characters don’t suffer the consequences of their actions…readers can put your book down faster than you can say ‘bad marketing’.

That's why we're looking at how you can make life harder for your characters so that your story is stronger and your readers can't look away.

How to Write Realistic Characters

Are you struggling to write realistic characters? Do you want to know your characters better than you know your best friend? Would you like to craft characters so realistic, your readers remember them—long after they’ve turned the final page? If you answered yes to any of these questions, this workshop is exactly what you need.

Dialogue and Description: How to Make Them Work Together to Bring Your Book to Life

Many of us love writing dialogue…or description. Some genres are heavy on one or the other. But what if it didn’t need to be an either/or thing? What if we could look at the relationship between them and how they can bring each other—and your book—to life?

You'll come away understanding why balancing both is important, how to do it in a way that develops your story's pace, and gives new life to your characters.

Who can benefit from Novel Finish Line?

Novel Finish Line is perfect for you if you're:

  • Muddling your way through a first draft

  • Struggling to finish your work in progress

  • Think your characters need more depth

  • Unsure what obstacles to put in your characters' ways

  • Worried your pacing is too slow/too fast

  • In need of accountability and moral support

For Kristina's fiction workshops and courses

Immediately applicable to my work in progress

Geoff White

A really helpful breakdown of character arcs in their different types, with examples and formulas which not only made things very clear, but made the lessons learned immediately applicable to my work in progress. I'd recommend this to anyone looking to add depth to their characters and weave their different arcs into a cohesive and coherent plot. People always say that genre novels are heavy on plot, whereas literary novels are heavy on character. You know what? Get them right and you can have both a riveting plot and wonderfully realised characters. This course will help you achieve that.

About How to Write Character Arc—Whatever Your Genre

Wonderfully encompassing

Cassie Kelly

As a person who loves characterisation and considers it very important, I found Kristina’s advice to be wonderfully encompassing of the main points of what a character arc is, why it’s important, and how to make improvements. Her way of explaining things is very clear and engaging. If you have trouble with characters and don’t understand how to help a character grow across the arc of your story, this course is a perfect fit for you.

It revealed my characters' true feelings

Di Scotte

It revealed my characters' true feelings without being direct. Great exercise. It helped me see my other main character is actually jealous of the protagonist. I found the dialogue between the two characters changes over the course of the story, as their level of self-confidence changes.
