Transform Flat Writing Into Vivid Fiction that Transports Readers
Even If You've Struggled with Description in the Past

The secret to vivid writing

If you try to force description into a story, it doesn’t normally work well. Instead, the secret is to build description into what you’re writing from the ground up.

With the right approach, descriptive writing suddenly becomes so much easier because it’s coming naturally. And your writing suddenly becomes smoother at the same time that it gains depth, beauty, and power.

In our course, Description Writing Magic, you’ll learn techniques that can almost magically transform your writing, like switching from a black-and-white stick drawing to a painting in full color.

That wonderful "lost in a book" feeling

With the right approach to description, writing can be so much fun, like that wonderful feeling of diving into a great book -- except that it's a book you're creating and controlling! And you create the same powerful, immersive experience for readers.

Permanently improve your fiction writing

Strong description skills aren't optional for fiction writers—they're the difference between writing that falls flat and fiction that transports readers.

Without these skills, your writing remains colorless and lifeless, unable to capture your creative vision.

In this course, you'll learn description skills that will permanently improve your writing.

Translate your ideas into rich, immersive fiction you'll feel proud to share with the world.

Feedback on our courses

“I have found that after only 30 days, my writing is now more focused and it certainly flows easier. Sometimes now, I have to staunch the words pouring out of me, just so I can get some sleep. I no longer compare writing to bleeding a rock and for that alone Nancy, you have my absolute gratitude! Thank you so much for enabling me through your knowledge, to gift myself writing!”
- Jessica Clarke

“It has got me writing again, (something I had "lost" for about 4yrs). It has brought back to me my one "passion" in life that I have always loved.”
- Karen Connell

“Let me put it like this Nancy. For a long time I dabbled around with a few ideas in my mind but never could get it down on paper because of lack of confidence or no discipline. I was like someone in an Art Museum up close to the painting and only seeing the dots of paint. Nancy you directed me to stand back and see the picture in a whole new light. My ideas have been moulded into something new and now I am the artist. I have gotten to know my characters so well I look forward to meeting them when I sit to write. Thanks for helping me develop this gift.”
- Agnes McWey

"Before this course I was just a daydreamer. Now I can say, I am a writer."
- Kattia Chavarria

"The first week of the course, my writing moved from random thoughts to stories, which, at first, emerged from the optional prompts. About midway through the second week, I began writing scenes for a novel that I've envisioned for years. For the remainder of the course time, I worked only on that story-line. At some point, I realized that the character was emerging on his own and surprising me with things that he wanted to do. This is a feature of writing that I've heard about but do not remember experiencing in this way until now."
– Mary Early

"I saw that my writing had improved 100%."
- Jill Gairdner

"I am so enjoying the course. I have always wanted to write and have found, over the years, every excuse under the sun to not write. After reading through your material and the wonderful tips and suggestions I began on my three characters. I actually had to drag myself off to bed, reluctantly. I just couldn't stop."
- Laura McCarthy

“This course totally taught me how to be a writer. It was the best investment I have ever made.”
- Mary Jean Westerlund

“I find my writing flows better and ideas seem to flood into my brain. Since starting the course I have a new confidence when starting a piece of writing."
- Christine Henderson

“This course has taught me to be more focused and more serious about my writing. I have enjoyed the writing options at the end of each lesson. Absolutely thrilling to just pick up a pen and write. No more staring at a blank sheet of paper with the pen in my hand hovering over the paper. Thank you for giving me confidence in my writing and believing that I could do this!”
- Karen Cardwell

“I can't get over how I have changed in only 1 month. I am happier than I have been in a long time!”
- Mary Durso
