Do you want to see significant, noticeable improvement in your creative writing in only a few hours?

Do you want to know exactly what storytelling techniques and skills to practice to guarantee you’ll become a better writer?

So many writing courses promise to improve your writing, but provide no clear path on how to get there. You might spend hours, days, or even weeks learning, studying, and completing writing exercises but in the end, you’re still not confident that you’ve made any progress.

So if you’re ready to stop guessing how to improve your writing, and actually start improving it - fast - then this is the course for you!

In Level Up Your Fiction Writing, we’ve identified 7 key storytelling skills that will have the most direct, immediate, and noticeable impact on your fiction writing (protagonists, antagonists, settings, action scenes, juxtaposition, chapter breaks, and paragraph breaks).

These 7 skills will put you on the fast track toward substantial improvement of your creative writing skills that you will be able to see on the page and feel in the confidence of your words.

How can we be so sure you’ll improve?

Because we’ve jam-packed this course with actionable strategies and techniques, loads of examples from popular fiction, and tons of practical exercises that are all specifically designed to make you a better writer.


By the end of this course, you’ll be able to:

  • Create protagonists who leap off the page and feel real

  • Build multiple layers of antagonists that constantly keep your protagonist on their toes and your readers glued to the page!

  • Convey immersive settings without a ton of “telling” or “info-dumping”

  • Craft action scenes that are clear, fast-paced, and get your reader’s heart pounding (even if you’re not writing an action story)

  • Expertly weave in juxtaposition to create twists and turns that your reader won’t see coming (and can’t get enough of!)

  • Use chapter breaks strategically to have the most impact on your storytelling

  • Optimize paragraph breaks to create the perfect pacing for every page


Plus, for each of the 7 key storytelling skills, we’ve included two learning levels: The “Foundational” lectures will ensure you have a solid base to start from, and the “Level-Up” lectures will take your writing up a notch…or ten!


And to ensure you get the very most out of this course, we’ve also included:

  • Over 14 “Writer’s Room” sessions where you’ll see exactly how the instructor approached each exercise, so you’ll have solid examples of how to practice your new skills

  • 7 “Level Up Your Story” lectures to help you apply everything you’ve learned to your current work in progress, whether that be a novel, short story, or memoir

  • An 80+ page workbook (as both a printable PDF and an editable Google Doc) that includes all the exercises, examples, and additional resources you’ll need to level up


Best of all, this course is designed to be taken multiple times, so you can continue to level up and watch yourself progress. No matter what level you're starting from, you'll always be able to benefit from this course.

The Teacher talks at a good speed, fast but easy to understand. He has his facts memorized and does not waste too much time on intros.

A warm, calm and coaxing delivery. My interest has been held alongside getting my mind to consider putting the skills into action in relation to my current story idea. I am now halfway through the training. Although I am normally very self critical I feel that have written some skilled prose as a result of the training. The bite size learning and activities really work for me and prevent the usual overwhelm that I can feel when trying to tackle the bigger project. I am actually enjoying writing because I can see progress towards the goal. Thanks!

It is more than what I think it is. This is a must-do course for every fiction author/writer. I learnt many new skills to level up my writing and made many notes. Go for it, writers. Thanks, Scott.

Até agora, o curso esta tremendamente afiado: ritmo, conteúdo e linguagem na ponta na lâmina, ou seja, afiados! Parabéns!

This class exceeded my expectations. Each topic was crystal clear with plenty of examples to clarify and enhance the points. I've been involved in discussion about several of the topics many times before, but Reintgen's straightforward approach was fresh and gave me a new perspective. And some of the topics, such as One-Line Paragraphs, I've never heard discussed by an instructor before. His presentation is conversational. You can tell he has a teaching background. I would happily take another course from this instructor.

This course was great! Whenever I see a new writing mastery course I know I need to buy it. Scott Reigten was such a good teacher and he was able to teach me a lot about 'leveling up' my story writing. Overall great course and I will HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who wants to improve their skill in writing.

A good course and the topics that are discussed are thorough. The main focus of these topics was on structure. I would have liked more elaboration on how to write (sentence level), such as how to make a sentence engaging rather than descriptive (ex. avoid 'to be' words), importance of Point Of View and how to use it, etc. For those reasons I feel the course was (in my opinion) incomplete.
