"Write a book," they said. "It'll be fun," they said.
When you first started writing, did anyone prepare you for how gosh-darn difficult it was going to be?
My money’s on no. In fact, I’m willing to bet that before you officially picked up your metaphorical writing pen, you thought finishing your story would be a breeze.
Any of these sound familliar?
You follow big-name authors who make writing look easy. They churn out multiple books a year and write an insane amount of words every day while you fight tooth and nail for every word.
You start your stories with a burst of inspiration, but that burst of inspo turns out to be pretty short lived. No matter what you do, you can't get the words out. And even if you can, none of them are quite right.
You swear you're going to finish, but life got in the way. Your mortgage. Your family. Your job. Somewhere along the line, you set your dream on the back burner and left it there. Now you don’t know how to pick it back up.
Guilty?
THOUGHT SO. NOW WE CAN BURST SOME BUBBLES.
1.
Spoiler alert: Social media is a lie.
Writing is not easy. But writing killer stories on your time totally can be.
2.
If every writer only wrote when inspiration strikes, we’d have, like, three books.
Okay, maybe a little more than that, but you know what I mean. We wouldn’t have much. Point is, you can write a fantastic book without being inspired 24/7. The key is in having a plan to fuel your inspiration.
3.
Your mortgage, your family, and your job are definitely priorities. But you know what else is?
You. You and your dreams. You and the story you have to tell.
Want to know a secret?
Writing can still be fun!
Imagine...
...having the time, energy, and resources to write confidently whenever you want to.
...being able to pull inspiration from anywhere, at any time, and turning it into a story in a way that’s fun and--most importantly--repeatable.
...taking back your love of storytelling, mastering your muse, and creating on your terms.
Imagine taking back that power today.
This isn't designed to take a month, a week, or even a whole day. WIth The Dapper Drafter, you'll have your entire novel mapped in less than an hour.. Plus, you can rinse and repeat this process as often as you like! And this one features a cat.

YIKES. FORGOT TO INTRODUCE MYSELF!
Heya! I'm Loni Crittenden.
I'm a professional story nerd, here to help you make the jump from writer to published author. I live to learn, and I’ve yet to find something I couldn’t systemize.
As a specialist developmental editor, I’ve edited Amazon bestsellers and Barnes & Noble shelfsitters. I’m a staff editor with The Parliament House Press, a member of the Editorial Freelancers Association, a die-hard Potterhead (Hufflepuff Pride), and a girl working on her advanced degree in writing popular fiction.
Editing fiction is how I pay my bills. I live and breathe this stuff. I’ve spent years learning the theory and the jargon so my authors don’t have to, and by working together, we’ve put stories out into the world that have won the hearts of thousands of readers.
Now, I want to help you tell your best stories, too.
How?
This is the exact same system I've used to coach dozens of authors through their first, second, and dozenth stories. It's tested, it's proven, it's fun, and it works.
So! That said, let's do a little math. Ready for the bad news? An offer like this can typically go for anywhere between $400 and $800.
...No, seriously. See for yourself:
-
The Five-Part Dapper Drafter System ($497)
-
Resource Masterlist ($97)
-
The Book Butler Trello Board ($97)
-
Vault of Writerly Wonders ($97)
TOTAL VALUE = $788
But I'm not typical, and neither are you.
You're a writer. The world needs your stories.
And because of that, I'm inviting you to take advantage of this system for a fraction of the market price:
$37
Here’s the thing: I know this will help you tell some amazing stories, but I also know this can be an intimidating investment for some. Take a week to fully commit to the system! If you genuinely feel The Dapper Drafter hasn’t helped you, just shoot us an email with your before-and-after materials. We’re editors and will do our best to help (or, in most cases, reassure you that you’re absolutely going in the right direction). But if these techniques truly aren’t the right fit for you, we’ll issue a refund right away.

You’re capable of writing as much as you want.
You’re capable of taking charge of your inspiration.
You’re capable of finishing your story.
