The One Week Writing Workshop
7 Days to Spark, Boost or Revive Your Novel
It’s time to crush the blank page, shed your writer’s angst and write the novel you were meant to write! All the magic and enthusiasm of acclaimed author Karin Adams’ in-person writing workshops—now in book form!
“A simple and fun handbook that’s perfect for new and aspiring writers.”—Kirkus Reviews
“This practical, detailed, yet compact book on writing helpfully serves those writers just starting out, as well as intermediate writers…Highly recommended for fans of Jessica Brody’s Save the Cat! Writes a Novel and Christopher Vogler’s The Writer’s Journey”—BlueInk Review
YOU MAY BE STARTING your first novel, stuck in the middle of a draft or wanting to refresh a project that didn’t quite turn out as you’d hoped.
There are wonderful resources that can teach you about the craft and the business of writing: books that explore the intricacies of story structure and strategies for writing engaging plots, books full of creative prompts to prime your imagination, books on finding publishers and agents and much more. Something that most if not all these books will tell you about novel-writing: at some point, you are going to have to write (a lot).
My book will not change this fact. But what I’m offering is something that can make the blank page or blank screen a lot less intimidating. I’m sharing my personal novel-writing method, one that will help you to gain momentum and to keep motivated along the way. Method, momentum and motivation are what I believe you need whether you’re starting from scratch, hopelessly stuck or deciding to get back to it.
Karin Adams Says…
“We often picture a huge gap between our great idea and our finished book, and it’s that huge black hole that holds us back. But transform that gap into a series of real, do-able steps, and soon you’re moving forward with purpose. You can finally tell the story you’re meant to tell.”

It’s Time To Write The Novel You Were Meant to Write.
Have a terrific idea for a novel, but don’t know where to begin? Are you in the middle of a manuscript, but hopelessly stuck? Or—maybe you want to pull out that project from years ago, but aren’t sure how to revive it? Author Karin Adams has been in each of these predicaments—and she’s sharing all the steps that got her to the other side!
In The One Week Writing Workshop, Karin lays out her complete 7-step writing method, the one she’s taught to thousands in her popular writing workshops. Each step is further broken down into ten or so impactful micro-actions that you take immediately. Plus, there are short lessons throughout that offer helpful refreshers on fundamental writing concepts—and if you’re completely new to the craft, they give you solid footing and grow your writing confidence.
If you want to stop dreaming (or stewing) about your novel and get writing today, The One Week Writing Workshop has got your back. You’ll find:
- Real-world writing activities you’ll start using within minutes of opening the book
- A tried-and-tested 7-step method for starting your novel and seeing it through to the finish.
- Hands-on strategies for every step of the writing process, from generating ideas to revision
- Activities you can come back to again and again to bust past blocks, develop new story concepts and reconnect with the joy that got you writing in the first place
Why Is The One Week Writing Workshop Different?
This is not a book that will dissect story structure, teach you how to hit certain story beats, or demystify the publishing industry. Such books are invaluable, and I hope you’ve read a few! However, The One Week Writing Workshop does something different.
Instead of filling your brain with more literary lingo and intricate story rules to remember, The One Week Writing Workshop gets you writing now.
This is the book you’ll grab when you’re ready to start drafting your novel and finally get it done. It includes activities and real-world strategies for every step of the writing process, from generating ideas to revision. Of course, we’ll be circling back to some story essentials to keep us on track. But mostly we’re going to get busy channeling what you’ve been dreaming about—and what you already know and have learned about writing—onto the actual page.
The One Week Writing Workshop is all about motivation, gaining momentum, and following a proven method that helps you to finally get your novel completed.
