"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

"Daniel respected my work and vision on a profound level, but also had a keen editorial eye and a stroke of literary genius that took everything I’d written to the next level. Is it weird that I think of him as my literary midwife?"

Tawni Waters,
I.L.A. award-winning author

    Welcome to The Writer's Online Residency, "Essentials Edition"
    This is a brand new program:

    A two-month guided experience to help you get that book written. This is a streamlined, drafting-focused program for the writer ready to try out some new moves and make big progress.


    The "Essentials" tier gives you the supportive environment and guided training of the Residency at a much lower cost. This tier focuses on generative writing, moving forwards in the draft with a series of innovative weekly themes and activities + plus the support of the cohort.

    1. The eight prompt packets: I've prepared a short sequence of focused lessons to help you get unstuck and get writing. These prompts are not really asking you to re-think your book, but rather to just write more of it. The goal is to get your vision down on the page, even if in a messy form. In other words, rather than having to just "work on my book," you'll have an achievable, practical, straightforward plan for each week of the program. 
     2. The weekly "win the week" sessions: we will meet once a week to share notes and stories, update each other on our projects, and support each other.
    3. The bot suite: this is optional -- you'll have access to nine of my hand-crafted writing advice bots. Eight of the bots will guide you through each week's prompts, giving you tips and suggestions of what to work on (without ever writing a sentence for you); the ninth will be an encouraging "robot buddy" to help you stay on track. 
     4. The weekly planner: Each week, you will complete our one-page writing planner (asking about your goals and concerns for the week's writing) and, if you like, share it in our community forum. 
    5. The accountability challenge (s): we will run two different accountability challenges -- pick one to join during your time in the program if you wish. 

    "Daniel was able to help see through all my muddled notes to discern the through line of my story. What a relief to have someone look at pages and pages of my notes and be able to see so clearly the story I was trying to tell but had lost sight of in my confusion of losing the forest for the trees! I feel like I have my compass back!" - Carrie James

    - "You are definitely a "book whisperer" !!!

    - "It's true what they say about you."

    - "Thank you all for the support and structure over these weeks: these notebooks are all filled now! I could not have done this alone."

    (One participant's notebooks at the end of the program.)
