You want to REVISE your book...

1
BUT YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. IT'S JUST TOO MUCH.
THIS is the masterclass for you. There's a PROCESS to revision that you can learn. I'll teach it to you. Together, we'll break through your stopping points and work from start to finish, until you wrestle your unruly first draft into something you can be proud of showing to others (people like agents and/or editors).
2
IN THIS MASTERCLASS, YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO THE WORK.
You'll work shoulder to shoulder with a small group of people exactly as passionate as you are about actually achieving your dream. You'll take turns being inspired and inspiring your peers.
3
EXPECTATION, MEET EXCITEMENT.
Bestseller Rachael Herron brings both to your writing experience. She'll expect you to do your heart's work. And you'll show up with it because you've made that promise to yourself.
4
CREATIVITY WITHIN CONSTRAINTS.
You have 90 days. Not six months. Not a year. No more wasting time. You'll do the work because of this constraint - and the magic is that your writing will be better for it.
5
THE TIME IS NOW!
It's never been easy to find the time. But guess what? It's only going to get harder as life rolls forward. Don't wait until you have more free time. You'll never have it. Take it now.

I Know How You Feel.

I know you. I was you.

For seven solid years (after I got my MFA, mind you), I struggled to write. I couldn't find the time. When I did, I couldn't get started. When I did manage to write, my work was crap without solid characters or a believable plot. I hated my work, and worse, I hated myself. And I didn't know how to fix the words I wrote.

How on earth does a person revise an entire book? How could I tell what was good and separate that from what was bad in my own novel?

Then I learned how the process of revision works, and that it's DOABLE (and even more importantly learnable).

I've written more than two dozen bestselling books since.

In just 90 days, together with a small group of other serious writers,

YOU WILL REVISE YOUR BOOK.

Turn a Bad Book into a Good Book

Transform your book

Did you write a terrible first draft? Excellent! That's what you're supposed to do! Now you just need a little help figuring out what to do next. That's where this masterclass comes in. You're not alone.

Plot Structure That Works

What happens next?

Do you get stuck wondering how to overlay structure onto the beast you wrote? You'll work with Rachael on mastering STORY STRUCTURE. You'll go from stuck to speeding down the narrative highway.

Learn Time Management

You have the time.

Where does writing fit into your life? Oh, honey, we'll find pockets of time you never knew you had. Learn strategies that will allow you to write even on your busiest days.

Revise QUICKLY

You can do it.

Sure, you could spend the next three years trying to revise your novel or memoir. But it won't be any better than one revised in 90 days (and it might be worse). Fly through this second draft!

About Rachael Herron

I've written and published more than two dozen books with major publishers, including Penguin Random House, HarperCollins, and Chronicle Books. I write mainstream literary fiction, thriller, memoir, non-fiction, and romance.

I know structure, and I love to teach it. I've taught writing in the extension programs at UC Berkeley and Stanford. Now, I teach the same things to a select, small group.

I'm genuinely excited about your book, whether it's fiction or memoir.

REVISION IS THE BEST PART. If you've been worried about revising your book (not just copyediting it, but ripping it apart and putting it back together again into a structure that won't let your reader set it down), never fear again. You'll learn to love revision.

You'll never look at writing the same way again.

What You'll Get in This Masterclass
(Just $599/month for 3 months)

ACCOUNTABILITY

A weekly, 60-minute live Zoom meeting on Tuesdays at 5pm PST / 8pm EST with time for your questions and a rotating weekly "hot seat" during which you and your book are the main focus at least once during the class. (Each meeting will be recorded and shared afterward in case you can't attend live.)

A DETAILED PLAN OF ACTION

Each week, I'll I teach you something new, while at the same time you'll be revising your book. You'll have homework (a doable word quota) each week. There's no critique in-class, but you're welcome to reach out to potential critique partners within the group.

COMMUNITY

A Slack channel of our very own. Just for us, the channel will be used all 90 days for your questions, complaints, exclamations of awe, and expressions of joy. (Seriously. You're going to want to share the amazingness of what's going to happen to you.) You can even stay in the channel afterward for continued support from your peers.

I WANT TO REVISE!

What People Are Saying...

I Actually Did It!

"Revision was an impossibly scary mountain before I took this class. Now I know my way up that mountain as if I'd been raised on it. This class will teach you how to not only look at your book from the 30,000 foot level, but will help you get the work done on the ground. I started and finished my huge revision in her class, and now I'm querying agents!"

M. Henry (90 Day Revision graduate)

Easy to Understand Steps

It is rare to meet someone who is truly in alignment with their purpose in life, Rachael is that person. Rachael breaks down the revision process, and novel writing in general into easy to understand steps and processes. She is an amazing and inspiring teacher, but what I truly love about working with Rachael is that she believes there is space for everyone and every novel. If she has an ego about herself as a successful author, I've never seen it. Instead, she stands with us as a peer, a friend, and a true believer that any and all of her students can and should be a published author.

Michelle Maida (90 Days to Done and 90 Day Revision Graduate)

Forever Grateful

The 90 Days to Done and 90 Day Revision classes gave me all the things I didn’t know I needed and was pivotal in creating a safe space to explore and find my writing voice. I will be forever grateful to Rachael and my fellow 90 day-ers for this gift.

I WANT IN!

Is This Masterclass Right For You?

Here's what to expect.

Who This is for

You want to revise your book, whether it's a novel or a memoir.
You are willing to take risks and be brave, even when your hands and voice shake.
You can pledge to revising five days a week. (I'll help you find the time.)
You're willing to be a team player and help your peers also rise to be their best.

Who This is not for

You don't have a book at least 85% completed. (A very, very badly written book is totally okay! But only halfway done doesn't cut it, I'm sorry. Take my 90 Days to Done Masterclass, instead!)
You're not willing to push yourself for 90 days.
You don't like to be transformed from the inside out.
You're not a good enough writer yet. (Just kidding - this one's a trick! You can't wait till you're good enough - that will never happen. None of us are good enough - we just do it anyway! Join us.)

90 Day REVISION.

Now.

This is your time.

I believe in you with all my heart.

Let me help you fulfill your dream. BE BRAVE. You've got this.

I want to revise!

Accountability = Priceless

You haven't revised your book because no one's ever made you do it. I'll make you (nicely. But firmly). That's my job. I won't let you waste your money.
