Hi there,
This week, I’m excited to share with newsletter subscribers an exclusive audio sneak preview of How to Write a Novel, the debut course from DeepDive—which will be available in its entirety very soon!
How to Write a Novel features more than 50 hours of insight and instruction from dozens of today’s leading writers.
At launch, How to Write a Novel will be available, for a limited time, for just $297.
It’s an incredible value. There’s nothing else like it on the market.
How to Write a Novel delivers access to the minds and experiences and expertise of nearly 40 acclaimed contemporary authors who have run the gauntlet and had real success in publishing.
Writers like: Emily St. John Mandel, Ingrid Rojas Contreras, V. V. Ganeshananthan, Stephen Graham Jones, Melissa Broder, Matt Bell, Porochista Khakpour, Madelaine Lucas, Antoine Wilson, Hannah Pittard, Matthew Salesses, Lynn Steger Strong, Tod Goldberg, Claudia Dey, Elle Nash, Kevin Maloney, Kimberly King Parsons, Gina Frangello, Alexandra Tanner, Tiffany Clarke Harrison, Deb Olin Unferth, and many more.
In our exclusive audio sneak preview, you can listen to the first episode of the course, ‘Why Write a Novel?’, in its entirety.
You will hear me in conversation with Steve Almond, New York Times bestselling author of several books, including the debut novel All the Secrets of the World and a craft book entitled Truth is the Arrow, Mercy is the Bow.
This is but a small taste of what’s to come—there are more than 100 episodes in How to Write a Novel! Never-before-heard conversations about the art and craft and business of writing fiction. (Customers will also receive more than 20 hours of bonus content!)
Thank you very much for your interest in what we do. We appreciate it.
It’s been a lot of hard work, getting to this point. And we’re so excited to go live.
If you have thoughts or questions in the meantime, please email us here. And remember to follow DeepDive on Instagram and BlueSky.
We’ll be in touch in the days ahead, as we get closer to liftoff.
More soon!
All the best,
Brad

Quote of the day:
Everybody gets told to write about what they know. The trouble with many of us is that at the earlier stages of life we think we know everything—or to put it more usefully, we are often unaware of the scope and structure of our ignorance.
