Lani is a hilarious writer and fantastic teacher. With more NaNoWriMo novels published than anyone else in the world, she has a ton of insights on how to turn a crappy first-draft into something beautiful.

Lani Diane Rich’s Discovery workshop taught me the importance of pre-planning in a very creative way. A true cynic, I first thought collaging and making soundtracks was silly. But it really helped me flesh out my characters. My story took on a life of its own and it felt like playing!

Who would have known that learning about structure and how to revise a novel could be so much fun? Lani is a natural born teacher. She’s given me the tools to revise my novel to give it the best possible chance in this competitive marketplace. Being able to go back and review the lectures helps solidify the material. Best of all, I was thrilled at how generous and honest Lani was about how she, a New York Times Best Seller, revises her own novels.
