Ship 30 for 30 – 90-Minute Novel

AI-assisted fiction writing  ·  Self-publishing strategy  ·  90-minute masterclass

Most aspiring fiction writers don’t struggle with ideas — they struggle with finishing. The Ship 30 for 30 90-Minute Novel course is built specifically around that problem: how to move from concept to completed, publishable story without the process dragging on for months.

Ship 30 for 30 is a writing education platform known for helping writers publish consistently and build an audience. This course extends that philosophy into fiction, combining storytelling fundamentals with practical AI writing tools to help you produce work faster without sacrificing quality.

What the course covers

The centrepiece is a 90-minute masterclass that walks through the entire fiction writing and self-publishing process in a single, focused session. It’s dense but structured — designed to give you a complete picture rather than leaving you to figure out how the pieces fit together on your own.

Category creation and sub-genre positioning

One of the more distinctive concepts covered is Category Creation — the practice of identifying or carving out a specific sub-genre niche for your work rather than competing directly in oversaturated markets. For self-publishing authors, this kind of positioning can meaningfully affect discoverability on platforms like Amazon Kindle.

AI tools for fiction writing

The course integrates modern AI writing tools into the creative process — not as a replacement for your voice, but as a way to work through structural problems, overcome blocks, and move faster from outline to draft. If you’ve been curious about how AI fits into a serious writing workflow, this course addresses that directly.

Self-publishing from the ground up

Beyond the writing itself, the course covers what it takes to actually publish and position a fiction title — understanding the self-publishing landscape, formatting expectations, and how to approach a launch without a large existing audience.

Who this course is for

It’s aimed at aspiring fiction writers who want to write and publish short-form novels or novellas — particularly those interested in the self-publishing route. It’s also relevant for non-fiction writers who want to expand into fiction, or anyone who has started multiple stories but never managed to finish one.
