What's Not a Barrier for Taking This Class
You're busy.
Sessions are structured around your schedule and pace.
You're not sure your book will sell.
We assess commercial potential before you commit fully.
You don't have much writing experience.
That's precisely why this class exists.
Wondering If Your Book Will Sell?
Great books start with great concepts.
Our Idea-First approach evaluates your book’s marketability before you invest months writing it. We assess:
Market Positioning & Longevity
Some stories have serious potential. Some adapt better to changing cultural and reader trends. We identify concepts built for sustainability.
Reader Preferences
We analyze how your idea aligns with real readers, not assumptions.
Strategy Development
We help you think beyond a single book: branding, visibility, long-term author identity.
The idea is,
Marketable Concept + Professional Identity = Loyal Readership
Think Nora Roberts. Think Chimamanda Adichie

Student Reviews
"I came into this class with what I thought was a completed manuscript. The finished work looks nothing like what I came with. Pennacle liked my story and helped me apply for a traditional publishing deal, which was what I wanted. While I wait for a contract, I'm most grateful to have completed a novel."
— Alake Dayo
"My first draft had been in the vault for over six years. I finally finished it. I'm even shocked by the quality. This class was pricey, but worth every cent."
— Gloria Mide
