ARE YOU
- Struggling to unlock the secrets of writing fiction that readers just can't put down?
- Tired of pouring your heart and soul into your writing, only to find it lacking that addictive quality that keeps readers coming back for more?
- Unsure of how to make your novel stand out in a crowded market?
- Feeling overwhelmed by the daunting task of creating fiction that captivates readers from the very first page?
- Worried that your story lacks that special something, leaving readers feeling indifferent and disengaged?
- Struggling to navigate the complex world of publishing, unsure of how to get your novel noticed by agents and publishers?
- Paralyzed by the fear that your novel will never achieve the level of success you've always dreamed of?
If you're facing any of these Challenges,
then you're in the right place, my friend.
THE PUBLISHING INDUSTRY HAS SEVERAL LONG HELD SECRETS FOR WRITING COMPELLING FICTION THAT IS #UNPUTDOWNABLE.
You won't find them in a writing book or at a workshop at a writer's conference. Commercial editors know them, and so do multi-published authors. These are the unspoken tips and tricks that qualify as INSIDER SECRETS for the initiated.
Well, those days are over.
BECAUSE I AM ABOUT TO SHARE those secrets WITH YOU.
I learned them as an EDITOR for a publishing company for 12 years. They were on the checklists and style sheets the publisher gave us to bring a manuscript up to speed.
YOU SEE, I HAD SOMETHING THAT MOST EDITORS DON'T HAVE:
I'm a Published Author.
USUALLY, EDITORS DON'T WRITE
AND WRITERS DON'T EDIT.
But I started out as an English teacher, who then became published, and then became a commercial editor. That happened because my book Reaping the Whirlwind won the national Christy Award for excellence in fiction. Afterward, my publisher hired me as a substantive and developmental editor. That's when I became an author who had access to the Insider Secrets, and I put them to good use. 22 years later, I'm now the author and ghostwriter of 44 books, with more than 1 million copies sold.
As I delved deeper into the twists and turns of the publishing world,
I SAW A GAP BETWEEN ASPIRING AUTHORS AND THE REALIZATION OF THEIR PUBLISHING DREAMS.
It stirred something within me, a relentless drive to bridge that gap and make the journey to publication as quick and seamless as possible.
I THEN STARTED THIS MISSION TO EMPOWER COUNTLESS AUTHORS.
I help them write unputdownable fiction and guide them thorugh the world of publishing.

Best DECISION I made for my WRITING Career!
One of the best decisions I’ve ever made for my writing career was to sign up for Rosey Dow’s wonderful fiction writing course (you might know her as Lana McAra). When I first signed up for the course, I only had a draft of a novel I’d written about 20 years earlier and gave up on, and I had nothing published other than magazine articles.
Today, I have 7 published novels (including the one I gave up on) and am working on the 8th, all published by traditional, royalty-paying publishers. I also shared these great writing principles after I became president of the South Carolina Chapter of American Christian Fiction Writers. I highly recommend Lana’s writing course and am so pleased she is going to offer it again.

I AM A BETTER WRITER, THANKS TO LANA!
I don't hesitate to say this. I am a better writer , thanks to Lana. She is a consummate professional and a pleasure to work with.
A book contract was in the works within a couple of weeks after submission to the publisher. Lana played a big part in that remarkable accomplishment.

ANN CRAWFORD, A STUDENT FROM THE LAST CLASS, HAS THIS TO SAY:
Ann landed a publishing contract a few months after finishing "How to Write a Novel That Sells." Here's what she posted on Facebook...
"I just want to add that I’ve been writing for decades and won numerous awards—the whole enchilada—but there are many things the current market and publishers want that I didn’t know about (i.e., very short descriptions, for one thing). Lana’s masterful class quickly got me up to speed. I’m so grateful!"
