A must read for both aspiring novelists and seasoned writers looking for fresh insight into the craft.”

“I wish every author had this information before they queried my publishing company. The Novel Matrix is an absolute game changer.”
Emily Hitchcock, CEO of Boyle & Dalton
“I’ve learned many things about crafting novels from many different platforms. This book provides many techniques and strategies that I couldn’t find on any of those other platforms. It eased the process of plotting and drafting so now it’s not nearly as difficult as it was before.”
Rebekah Olson, developmental editor and author of Spell Caster
“The Novel Matrix has become a lens through which I see books, movies, and even everyday life. Brad gave me a memorable set of rules and principles that now live in my conscious awareness and empower me as a storyteller. I’ve even begun to explain the novel matrix to my 12 year old daughter, who is catching it just as easily as I did. I’m afraid I’ve equipped her to surpass my writing early in her career!”
