JSB can teach you how to write bestselling fiction!
Also available: A 24-lecture series from The Great Courses called "HOW TO WRITE BEST-SELLING FICTION." This course covers every essential aspect of fiction writing, from brainstorming awe-inspiring ideas to crafting unforgettable characters, perfectly structured plots, scenes that jump off the page, and dialogue that dazzles. And much more, including special lectures on self- and traditional-publishing strategies, the mental game of writing, and writing blunders to avoid.
"This is just a note to say that your course on The Great Courses Plus is absolutely fantastic. I've listened to every MasterClass on writing (the teachers are Salman Rushdie, Amy Tan, Walter Mosley, Dan Brown, on and on), and I've enjoyed them a lot. But the nuts and bolts you cover in your class for The Great Courses have been more helpful than all the others put together. Thank you!" – Dory B.

"I needed advice before I tried to write a novel. The usual axiom — write what you know — wasn't helpful. So I turned to James Scott Bell. He taught me how to structure a great entrance — the equivalent of gliding down a spiral staircase in a wedding gown — and how to keep the next 400 pages from becoming as hopelessly tangled as the crumpled papers and wads of gum in my old desk. My novel sold." – Sarah Pekkanen, author of The Opposite of Me
"Time well spent. I expect Jim's teaching to inform my writing for years." – Jerry B. Jenkins, #1 New York Times bestselling author
"James Scott Bell elevates the subtleties of plot, structure, and conflict to an art form. An hour at one of his workshops is game-changing." – Kami Garcia, #1 New York Times & International Bestselling Co-Author of the Beautiful Creatures Novels & Author of Unbreakable (The Legion Series)
