A Free Fantasy Novel Writing Course

The Codex - Everything

The whole road, built around one book - yours. You leave with a draft in hand.

The Codex runs all four craft courses end to end, then keeps going into the parts that do not fit inside a single lesson. Every session is aimed at the manuscript on your desk rather than at writing in general, which is why it runs one to one with Prime Quill rather than with both mentors, and has the fewest places. You do not need an outline or a finished draft. You need a book you actually intend to write, and can describe in a paragraph.

What it covers

  • All four craft courses, run end to end
  • Worldbuilding and lore that stays off the page
  • Prose and voice: rhythm, imagery, cutting the fat
  • Editing and revision passes that converge
  • Finding your readers: serials, beta readers, publishing
