Writing Festive Fiction by Autocrit

You know: when it’s 90 degrees outside and you’re trying to manufacture feelings about snowfall and hot cocoa while sweating through your shirt.

If you ask me, that feels backwards.

You want to write cozy holiday romance in December. Magic-filled winter tales when the lights are already glowing outside your window. Heartwarming family stories while you’re actually experiencing that particular cocktail of nostalgia and chaos the season brings.

The atmosphere is already built. The emotional beats are, quite literally, happening around you in real-time.

And that means you’re not pushing through, trying to fake it. Instead, you’re just translating what’s already on tap around every corner.

Much better, right?

This Wednesday, December 3rd, USA Today bestselling author and ghostwriter Kat Campbell kicks off a 3-week course that shows you how to write the kind of festive fiction readers keep coming back to.

Three focused live sessions – December 3rd, 10th, and 17th at 9pm Eastern, each one building on the last to help you craft cozy romances, magical holiday tales, or heartwarming adventures. You’ll be writing while the season’s energy is at its peak, so everything you produce feels 100% authentic!

Kat’s written dozens of books across multiple genres and knows exactly how to blend classic festive storytelling with emotional depth that keeps readers invested beyond simple aesthetics…

And yes, recordings will be provided for all sessions. Can’t make a Wednesday night? Watch later and you’ll still get the full training, exercises, and examples. You’re never locked out of the content just because life got busy during the most chaotic month of the year.

So… that’s it! Come build your holiday book while the season’s magic is doing half the work for you.

First session is this Wednesday, December 3rd at 9pm Eastern.

Live session dates and times:

• Session 1 – Wednesday, December 3rd, 9:00 pm ET
• Session 2 – Wednesday, December 10th, 9:00 pm ET
• Session 3 – Wednesday, December 17th, 9:00 pm ET
