What you will learn

Anatomy of a prompt- solid skills on how to get the Large Language Model to understand what you want from it

Introduction to LLM models other than ChatGPT. They all have different “skillsets,” and we’ll discuss and use them.

Using the method in my best-selling “How to Write a Cozy Mystery Step-by-Step book and my Cozy Novel Workshops, we’ll learn the following:

How to set up prompts to help you create a solid list of characters for your series, with backstories and psychological profiles to keep you engaged as you write their stories…and your readers will love them!

How to prompt to create a cozy world your readers will enjoy returning to again and again.

I’ll show you ways to build out a 6-book series, with subplots that arc across each book. Guaranteed to keep your readers engaged throughout your series.

Then we’ll tap into my outlining plan to build foundational outlines for the 6 books in your series.

By the end of this class you'll have a solid understanding of how Large Language Models work, and in the process, develop a working series you can continue to refine and write.
