FICTATION:
the act of dictating your fiction.
™
Write faster
Write healthier
Write confidently
Writing by dictation comes with a host of benefits.
You should enjoy them all.
After attending the live Dictation Bootcamp for Authors, you know you can take dictation to the next level. But how?
Through the digital course, FICTATION™: DICTATION 2.0.
Self-paced, Fictation goes deep into writing sentences and scenes by dictation, constructing new neural pathways to make dictating fiction as natural as typing. And you get to see it in action as I show my entire process of dictating a novella—from outline to “the end” of the first draft.

Advanced Solutions
You need to dig new trenches in your brain that will allow fictional worlds to flow from your mouth instead of your fingertips. Being comfortable with dictation methods and tools is where you start. Then you can begin pushing through the freak-out feeling of trying to write cohesive sentences in fiction.

Dictation 2.0
In this middle section of the course, you’ll focus on mastering the art of speaking your sentences of fiction instead of typing them. Once you master sentences, you can write paragraphs, which turn into scenes, then chapters, and finally, your novel’s first draft.

Fictation in Action
One powerful way to convince your brain it can speak words of fiction is to see it in action. Inside Fictation, I take you through the first draft process of a novella. You'll watch and listen as I speak my fiction and go through the cleanup process. You'll see in real-time how long dictating takes when creating a new story.
Let’s make friends with dictation.
In case we haven’t met, I’m Sarah Elisabeth Sawyer, author and writing instructor. I take authors who are struggling to master the tools and knowledge of their author journey and help them become confident in writing their books.
One of the most powerful tools in my author toolkit is dictation. I’ve written 11 books solely by dictation. My top hourly speed for writing a first draft is 4,000 words per hour and my top single word count day was over 11,000 words.
I created the Fictation: Dictation 2.0 to take you through the exact process of mastering dictation to write fiction. Inside this self-paced digital course, you’ll get access to my entire process of writing a novella from outline to completed first draft…written by dictation.
It’s time for you to become friends with dictation.
