Description

Alan Watt wrote the first draft of his novel, Diamond Dogs in just under 90 days, and six months later sold the North American rights to Little, Brown for half a million dollars in a bidding war. In this day-by-day guide through the process of outlining and writing the first draft of your novel in 90 days, he will show you:

  • How to structure you novel without losing connection to your voice
  • Why you are uniquely qualified to write your story
  • The dilemma at the heart of your story
  • How your fears are a portal into your characters
  • The connection between your life themes and story themes
  • Why you kept getting stuck, and how to break through

Critical Reviews

"Al Watt is a master teacher with a brilliant, intuitive understanding of story." - Allen Zadoff (The Unknown Assassin Series, Little Brown)


"I went out and bought a book called The 90-Day Novel by Alan Watt. It's ridiculous, claiming that anybody can write a great book, and quickly too, but it ended up as a Oulipian thing...it was actually interesting to conform to the rules." - Ottessa Moshfegh (Man Booker Prize Finalist for Eileen, Penguin, Random House)


"For years I have been fascinated by the industry legend of how Alan Watt wrote his masterful novel, Diamond Dogs, in 90 days. Now, at last, he shares his secrets. The 90-Day Novel is smart, insightful, thorough and wise. It's also one of the best books on novel-writing I have ever seen. I feel confident that anyone who takes this program seriously will have a solid manuscript to show for the effort." - David Liss (national bestselling author and Edgar Award winner of A Conspiracy of Paper)


"The idea of bringing a first draft of a novel to fruition seemed too daunting and overwhelming to even consider until I was introduced to The 90-Day Novel. Al's methodology is deep and precise and helps unearth subconscious themes and characters in you that let the story almost tell itself." - Rebecca de Mornay (actress/writer)
