Writing Great chapters
What it is — A full guide to pacing, narrating, and structuring compelling scenes and chapters. The course shows you how to create a story that flows from one powerful moment to the next.
Who it's for — Writers who feel their chapters are technically fine but somehow not landing. Writers who want a reliable, repeatable approach to scene design they can apply to any story.
What you'll learn — How to open and close a chapter with intention. How to control the pace inside a scene — when to slow down, when to move. How to make each moment feel like it belongs exactly where it is.

Constellation Writing
What it is — A mini-course for a more realistic, healthy writing process. It gives you the tools to take pleasure in your creativity and keep the story moving — at the same time.
Who it's for — Writers who find drafting tiring or stop-start. Writers whose ideas roam all over the story as they write, but who know that if they wander too far, they'll struggle to get back. Writers who want to be organised — but also don't want to lose the moments of inspiration that make writing feel alive.
What you'll learn — How to follow your creativity without losing the thread of your story. A simple, low-friction system for capturing ideas — wherever they land in the narrative — without derailing your momentum. Writers find that once this clicks, the tension between "staying on track" and "being creative" stops feeling like a contradiction.

A gift for Plot
What it is —> A Gift for Plot is designed to help writers master the art of natural, intuitive storytelling. Rather than giving you a framework or structure to apply to your story, the course instead shows you how to spot the story in the ideas you already have. The course helps you see the story present in the paragraphs, chapters, and plot ideas you've already had, uncovering the extra potential in the pages you've already written. The course is not anti-outline; rather, it is the companion to any preset structure you want to use, allowing you to fill up your tale with life and depth. Writers of all levels will improve their storytelling skills with detailed prompts, a course manual, and a custom designed "Gift for Plot" chat bot.
Who is it for —> Writers who want to become natural and comfortable plotters. Writers who worry their voice or scene design skills aren't "enough" yet. Writers who want to build up their artistic self-trust and learn to have a creative conversation with their story. Writers who want an alternative to the 20-step outlines they have tried in the past.
Why people love it —> Writers love the prompts, the simplicity of the concepts -- and above all, the highly trained course bot. While this chat bot will never write a line for you, it is well-trained in the course's techniques and can advise you on improving your sentences, paragraphs, and chapters.

Monday, June 23rd — A Mystery
What it is —
I have one more course for you. I'm not going to tell you what it is yet.
What I will say: it's brand new. It's about something that quietly drives every decision you make as a novelist — and most writers have never thought about it directly.
If your scenes feel flat. If you keep losing the reader. If you know something is wrong but can't name it.
Monday.

"Not all good writers are good teachers, but Daniel David Wallace (a talented, thoughtful writer himself) is a terrific instructor.
Daniel is attentive to plot, structure, character, and other high-level narrative elements, but you’ll appreciate his ability to zoom in closely on language and sentence-level concerns.
If you can take a class with him, do it!"
- Julia Brown, editor and literary author
"With Daniel's scene instruction workshop, I was able to write more quickly and competently.
I wish I had taken a class like this sooner. I would've been a better novelist and my short story production would've been much larger."
- John Vurro
