Ten Bad Pages: Desk Set One

All Three Workbooks

$29

Finish the draft, fix the dialogue, then edit the whole book with AI: all three Ten Bad Pages workbooks for $29, $10 less than buying them one at a time.

Finish it. Fix it. Then make AI prove it.

Printed to order, coil-bound so the pages lie flat, and shipped free to US addresses in about two to three weeks. The PDFs come with it: download them right after checkout. Buying it as a gift? Ship it straight to them. The QR code on the last page gets them the PDFs too.

Three workbooks, one draft.

Each Ten Bad Pages workbook does one job. Ten Bad Pages: Desk Set One puts all three on your desk for $29.

Finish Your F*&^%$G Novel gets the draft to the end: take inventory of what you have, plan the next 30 days, and keep small problems from derailing the writing.

Why Your Dialogue S^%$S takes the scenes where everybody talks too much and cuts them down until every line earns its space.

Edit Your Novel With AI turns the finished draft into a revision plan, using AI to find where the problems live without letting it write the book.

    A 30-day novel-finishing system: triage, scene inventory, trackers and a recovery plan for bad weeks.

Look inside

  • The Novel Triage page: current word count, where the draft stops, whether you know how it ends, and what is keeping you from finishing.

  • The Dialogue Function Audit: tick what a conversation is doing, from moving the scene forward to making it funnier, then note what changes because it happens.

  • The Make It Prove It page: an AI claim, the question that sends it back to the manuscript, and a Check a Claim form for the claim, the evidence and your own judgment.
