Writing Life Get Ready for NaNoWriMo! with NYTimes Bestselling author Angela Knight

I love the style of teaching, a focused lesson with multiple examples from Angela's published novels illustrating what she says. She discusses her strategies and thoughts as to why a scene was written the way it was, what mistakes were made, and how to make your own scenes their best. I've taken several classes with Angela Knight and I learn something from every one.

This was my second class with Angela Knight, someone I consider to be the driving force behind wanting to become a published author. Her lessons are delivered clearly and with direct examples from her own work with annotations as to her thought process and goals. It never felt like I was being talked down to or treated as someone who had no knowledge. Even though the words were all on the screen, I could HEAR her voice and felt like I was in the room with her. You cannot go wrong with an Angela Knight class!

Angela offers a wealth of information in an engaging, motivating, and energetic way. Not only does she educate you, she inspires you to be a better writer. Excellent, well-presented tips and thoughtful, striking examples. Thank you, Angela!

I found the lessons helpful with concrete examples from Angela's work clarifying various points. Angela's critiques of my WIP are always extremely valuable and exceed expectations. I highly recommend any class she teaches.

Angela helped put my book on the right track by pointing out developmental mistakes, along with minor edits. She was gracious, easy to communicate with and full of helpful ideas. I highly recommend her classes.

Outstanding in every way! Angela Knight is insightful, patient, and a wonderful teacher. Thanks to everyone who helped make this event a huge success!

This was an effective way to improve my pitch. Feedback was quick, and the suggestions were helpful. Feeling confident sharing my pitch this week!

One of the few to teach on this platform who readily critiques work you've written! The course was fun, informative and no fluff. Loved it. Will keep it as a reference for future writing.

Angela was kind and generous with her time. It will be interesting to see how my new pitch will play out in query letters, but I feel much confident.

The pitch lesson was useful and the feedback from Angela Knight and RJ was invaluable upon each and every attempt to improve our pitch. Very helpful and empowering class. It is worth taking.

I appreciate Angela's feedback and the opportunity to pitch to agents and editors even though I think I messed up the location of my pitches! This is definitely a worthwhile event.

The instructor was responsive to questions and followed the timeline. I appreciated the attention to detail and the respect for everyone's time. The instructions were concise and easy to follow.

Angela seems to have a sixth sense when it comes to boiling down a novel to a few sentences. Her knowledge, experience, and teaching skills are first rate!

Angela Knight's lectures—demonstrations of how to write a blurb and a pitch–were helpful. What I liked best was the way Angela gently but firmly pushed me to think harder, cut unnecessary words and really get to the nub of my novel. I saw this, too, in the way Angela nudged my classmates to hone their pitches. Angela's mastery of the pitch also inspired me to work harder at my wordsmithing. I'm grateful for the opportunity to take part in the pitch class and look forward to attending more of Angela's classes.

Angela was awesome. She was prompt with her responses, answered all my questions and helped me understand the keys to creating a strong pitch. Thank you Angela.

The lessons and critique that Angela gave were extremely valuable and helpful to my process. Would totally take another class given by AK!

The lessons were interesting and informative. Angela Knight's critiques are a fantastic value. I highly recommend her classses.

I really enjoyed this class. It was informative, fun, and exceeded all expectations. In Angela's class she always gives more than what the class description promises.

I can't say enough about how useful and awesome Angela Knight is as a best-selling author instructing other writers. This webinar was quite useful. I'm revising my NaNoWriMo novel at this time and I felt like she was speaking to me, as a gerbil stuck in an exercise wheel...rewriting/revising. She is very in your face realistic, organized and practical. Everyone can gain from her classes and webinars.

Get Ready for NaNoWriMo with Angela Knight is one of the best workshops I have ever taken. Clear, concise and to the point practical advise to use when outlining a novel. Her lecture was easy to follow and all notes were provided in a PDF, so during the workshop you could just enjoy the presentation without worrying you've missed something.

Excellent printable story grid was provided for use when outining a novel and best of all an example to follow. Angela had everything I would ever need or expect from a presenter in one sweet package. Her knowlege, volume of work, and years of experience are evident and I am honored to have been able to learn from her.
