Mystery to mainstream … romance to crime ... YA (young adult) to memoir—no matter what the genre of your novel or book of narrative nonfiction, Gary Provost’s VIDEO NOVEL WORKSHOP will provide you with the knowledge and tools you simply must acquire if you’re going to write what publishers want to publish.

If you’re writing at a level just below what publishers are looking for, or if rejection is threatening your confidence, whether you’re a beginner or an already published author, don’t despair. Thanks to the incomparable Gary Provost and this breakthrough, comprehensive video workshop, you can affordably learn what you need to know. You can learn it right now, rather than through trial-and-error over a much, much, much longer period of time.

With the VIDEO NOVEL WORKSHOP you’ll experience your book immediately begin to take shape as you put to work the extraordinarily valuable information Gary provides. In a clear, easy-to-follow style, he takes you step by entertaining step through 23 units, teaching you how to craft, perfect and then sell your novel or narrative nonfiction book.

The unique video format allows you to go at your own pace, review whenever necessary in the privacy of your own home, and learn, learn, learn through hands-on assignments that help you bring your novel to successful completion.

 

“If you ever thought about writing a novel, or ever wrote one and hid it in a drawer, or ever submitted one and had it rejected, or ever published one and wondered if you could do it again, this program is for you. In a style that is concise, lucid, and studded with vivid examples, Gary Provost makes sense of a seemingly incomprehensible process and teaches you the craft—and it is a craft—of writing fiction.”
— William Martin, Best-selling historical author

Video Novel Workshop - 4 DVDs and Study Guide

Gary's comprehensive home-study course runs about 5-½ hours, and is now available in DVD and CD formats. The course arrives with companion key points to remember along with assignments for each unit. You’ll also receive Gary’s still-popular desktop manual for quick reference: 100 Ways To Improve Your Writing.

“In my book, and for the sake of yours, you could not possibly do your
writing career a bigger favor than to study with Gary Provost. He’s the best.”

–Alice Orr, NY Literary Agent

Video Novel Workshop - DVD MenuWHAT INDUSTRY PROFESSIONALS HAVE HAD TO SAY:

"Aspiring writers trying to build a publishable story often get too busy with interior decoration before they have a floor plan. The Video Novel Workshop is a construction manual for getting walls and staircases, open windows and locked doors where they need to be and on time. Motivated characters can move around in such a story in a logical, comprehensible way that "plays fair" with and continues to engage the reader — both the essence of and minimal requirement for publishable work. Now, long after I first saw my stories in print, I still sit down and watch this video again every couple of years, as a refresher on the fundamentals. The essential basics are clearly, generously and memorably explained by Gary. Years' worth of false starts and failed endings can be eliminated through diligent and disciplined use of the tools available through this Workshop. I wish I had discovered it even sooner than I did, and I often recommend it to other writers."

— Steven Sweeney, attorney editor / Grand Prize Winner, Writer's Digest Writing Competition / winner, Highlights for Children Fiction Contest / former instructor, Institute of Children's Literature / numerous published stories, articles, columns and poems / young-adult novel "in the works"

“Gary Provost is one of those exceptional individuals—a gifted teacher whose clarity and depth of thought is equaled by a writing style that is a joy to read. His seminars and workshops are rare and rewarding experiences that should not be missed.”
--Peter Rubie, NY Agent

“The Video Novel Workshop provides the next best thing to his in-person instruction. You’d be hard pressed to find a better writing instructor than Gary Provost.”
– Karen Juhl, Editor, Writer’s Report

“Playing and replaying the VNW is like paying once to attend a great novel-writing seminar and then being allowed to come back again and again for free.”
– Dr. Keith Wilson, Author, Cause of Death

“For those interested in taking their writing to a new level,
there is no more effective teacher than Gary Provost. His understanding of the narrative art is complete; his ability to convey it without peer. Oh, and expect to have some fun, too.”

– Rick Horgan, Executive Editor & V.P., Crown

“Gary Provost is the acknowledged master of intense, practical writing seminars.
He dissects fiction and non-fiction alike with the confidence and meticulous skill of a
neurosurgeon, giving his students a clear-cut jump on the pack. I highly recommend
his seminars to anyone serious about getting his work honed for publication.”

– Michael Palmer, Best selling author, First Patient
