I finished drafting my first novel
Working with The Noble Narrative has hugely assisted my writing process. The Storyteller’s Blueprint offers a solid guide to structuring a novel, covering everything from plot, characters and settings to finding agents and publishers. It also asks probing questions within each module and helps you understand your motivation for writing and to reflect on your work in a positive and productive way.
Balancing a first novel with a full-time job for several years was tough and both my motivation and my novel’s main ideas drifted. Committing to this programme though gave me the boost and structure I needed to finally finish my first draft.
Additionally:
* The Final Chapter Feedback: Being able to submit the first chapter upon completion of the course individualised the experience. Sharing a first novel is nerve-wracking, but their professionalism, experience, and attention to detail resulted in relevant and perceptive suggestions.
* One-to-One Coaching (Developmental Review): I then also chose this service. Having a dedicated, experienced mentor/author read my entire work and provide honest, encouraging, practical feedback—and the opportunity to discuss this—has improved my focus, my confidence and the quality of my writing.
Whether my first novel sees the light of day in a published format is not yet known. However, I have learned so much completing the first draft, and from The Noble Narrative, that I will continue writing and enjoying the process.
In short, I would recommend The Noble Narrative to anyone wanting to write and tell stories.
