Draft Out Loud

Most dictation courses are one of two things: a software tutorial, or a workflow that only works if you're a full-time plotter. Draft Out Loud is neither.

This is a structured training programme for fiction authors who want to write their novels out loud — with daily exercises, progressive overload, and a step-by-step system that actually teaches you the skill. Not just tells you to try it and hope for the best.

You already know how to dictate. You've been telling stories since before you could write. You told them to your parents, your friends, your kids. Draft Out Loud brings you back to that natural storytelling voice — and teaches you to use it to write your books.

This course is for you if:

• You tried dictation once, it didn't click, and you want to give it a real go
• You want to write faster or with less friction
• You're dealing with a repetitive strain injury or just want freedom from the desk
• You're a discovery writer who's been told dictation only works for plotters (it doesn't)
• You want another tool in your writing toolkit that actually sticks

What's inside:

• Module 1: Welcome and Introduction
• Module 2: Myths and Mindset — the seven things that stop authors before they start
• Module 3: Tools and Equipment — your options, clearly explained, no overwhelm
• Module 4: The Training Programme — three weeks of daily exercises with separate pantser and plotter tracks
• Module 5: Editing, Cleanup and Habits — what to do with your dictated draft and how to make this sustainable

The training programme in detail:

Week One builds your foundation — daily reading sessions to train your mouth to produce fiction rhythms before you dictate a single new word. Week Two moves into timed rounds with your own characters, with 21 prompts across seven days. Week Three takes you into your actual work in progress.

Pantsers: there's a full discovery-writer track built in. You don't need an outline. You need a starting point. Plotters: your track builds a short spoken outline into every session so dictation works with how your brain already operates.

Every week includes daily exercises, a mid-week check-in and an end-of-week debrief.
