“This is how I learned how to write a novel.”
— Keith Ablow, psychiatrist, writer and television personality

“If you have published none of your writing or very little, you can be certain of this: Somebody like you, somebody new to the writing game, somebody who is dazzled by hope and uncertainty and a glut of questions about writing, will get his work published in the coming months. It might as well be you.”
— Gary Provost

Mystery to mainstream… romance to crime… If you’ve ever thought about writing a novel… mystery to mainstream… romance to crime… or if you’ve ever written one but then hidden it in the closet… or if you’ve ever written a novel, submitted it and received only rejections, then Gary’s course is for you.

Gary rubs away the magic and simplifies the complex with ease, humor, and lasting effect. Whether a beginner or advanced writer, you can begin at once to put to work the extraordinarily valuable, easy-to-absorb information Gary gives you.
