Are you ready to finally start writing the book you’ve always **dreamed** of?

Introducing NOVEL JUMPSTART, a program to help you write your first 50 pages in just 8 weeks

I know what it feels like to have a burning desire to write a book, but feel completely lost about the process.

Does this sound like you?

Having multiple story ideas bouncing around in your brain and feeling stuck on which one to move forward with
Comparing yourself to other writers and thinking, why bother? There are already hundreds of similar books out there
Worrying about finding the time to write when you have a hundred other things on your to-do list

Stressing about how much you DON’T KNOW. Feeling like you need a freakin’ MFA level of knowledge to start
Wondering how much work to do before you write: plot? Not plot? Map out the structure, or just start writing?
Feeling lost about how to structure your book. Even if you have ideas for the plot, how the heck do you turn that into a full-length book?

If you have a desire to write a book, that desire is there for a reason. It’s time to embrace your inner writer and finally start writing your novel.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are 8 spots open for this program. Once those spots are filled, enrollment will close.
The weekly office hours/coaching sessions will be held every Wednesday at 1pm EST.
If you can’t attend live, don’t worry! You’ll have a chance to submit questions ahead of time and can watch the replay.
Any type of novel. Novel Jumpstart isn’t right for nonfiction, poetry, middle grade, or children’s books.
This program is designed for writers who have an idea OR who are early in the drafting process. If you’re further along than that and would like coaching, trainings, etc. to help you with your next 50 pages, Novel Jumpstart could be a good fit. If you have specific questions, reach out to hello@thekatiewolf.com.
It depends! The Idea to Book course is self-paced, which means you can take your time going through the modules and rewatch the lessons as many times as needed. It’s up to you how active you are in the Discord group and whether you attend the office hours and ask for support when needed.
As far as actually writing your book, that depends too. I believe in writing quickly and efficiently. This means incorporating writing into your life, not putting your life on hold to write. It will depend on the amount of time you can carve out of your schedule, but you can absolutely get the first 50 pages written in eight weeks.
Novel Jumpstart ends on December 9, so you'll submit your pages to me then. I'll have all the evaluations completed by December 31.
The evaluation on your 50 pages includes feedback from me on things like your first page, characters, plot, conflict, etc. You’ll receive a 2-3 page double-spaced letter with my recommendations and suggestions for improvement.
(If you’d like to view a sample editorial letter, head HERE and look under the manuscript evaluation section. That sample letter is longer and more detailed because it’s for an entire manuscript, but it will help give you an idea of the structure.)
That’s fine! There’s no pressure from me or penalty if you don’t write exactly 50 pages. At the end of the program, submit whatever you have written, and I will do the evaluation on those pages.

Hi, I’m Katie Wolf.

I’m a book editor and writing coach, and I help other writers pursue their writing dreams.

I have a degree in English Literature and have always been a voracious reader, but I wasn’t always a writer. I was held back by self-doubt and an overwhelming fear that my writing wouldn’t be good enough.

In other words, I know exactly what it’s like to desperately want to write the book that’s been burning inside you but feel stuck and overwhelmed at the thought of actually writing it.

What if I’m not a good writer?
What if I can’t finish my novel?
How can I let other people read my work?

Real talk:

You can keep yourself small and stay stuck in the mud of believing that your book won’t be special or that it’s not even possible for you to actually write a book. But you know what?

It's a lie.

Your words matter.

And writing a book doesn’t have an agonizing, isolating, arduous process.

Once I realized this, everything changed.

I published my writing in literary journals and online publications like Medium, Thrive Global, Riggwelter, and Magnolia Review. I wrote two books (and am hard at work on a third.) And I signed with a literary agent at CAA, one of the top agencies in the publishing world.

The framework I developed is based on my own journey, but it’s also based on working with dozens of writers as an editor and writing coach.

And now it’s my mission to help you tap into your creative potential and write the best dang book you can possibly write.
