How To Write Like: Michael Crichton 

How to Write Like Michael Crichton

If you’ve ever finished a Crichton novel with your heart thumping and your brain buzzing, this course is for you. We’ll reverse-engineer the master’s tricks—those high-concept “what ifs,” the cool, clinical research, the breathless pacing—and rebuild them in your own voice, for your own stories. No lab coat required. Just curiosity, discipline, and a taste for danger on the page. What You’ll Be Able To Do * By the end, you’ll generate big, marketable ideas on demand, plan books the way an engineer designs a bridge, and write scenes that refuse to let the reader go. You’ll learn to fold complex research into story without slowing the pace, to build suspense from first page to last, and to make intelligent protagonists feel heroic under pressure. In short: you’ll think like Crichton, write like you, and keep readers up past midnight. Why Crichton Works (And How You’ll Use It) * Crichton’s secret was fusion. He took real science, wrapped it in thriller structure, and set a countdown ticking. We’ll break down that fusion into usable parts: a ruthless idea filter, a research method that turns facts into fuel, a pacing framework that accelerates naturally, and a suspense toolkit that makes every chapter a promise you have to keep. You’ll practice until it’s second nature. Who This Course Is For * Novelists, screenwriters, and non-fiction authors who want to make complex ideas irresistible. If you’ve got a head full of science, history, tech, medicine, law, or sheer bloody curiosity—and you want to turn it into story—step right in. Beginners welcome, battle-hardened pros equally welcome. The only prerequisite is ambition. What You Get Inside * You’ll find crisp lessons, examples from Crichton’s canon, and step-by-step writing drills that move a project from spark to outline to first draft.  How The Course Runs * It’s self-paced with lifetime access. Most lessons are bite-sized, designed to be immediately applied. If you put in three focused hours a week, you’ll see momentum by the end of week one and a working outline before the month is out. Results You Can Expect * Clarity at the concept stage. Control at the outline stage. Velocity at the drafting stage. A manuscript that reads fast, thinks hard, and feels frighteningly plausible. Readers who learn something while clinging to the story for dear life. That’s the Crichton effect—and yes, you can manufacture it. Frequently Asked Questions * Do I need to be a scientist? Not at all. You need to be curious and disciplined. The course gives you a research method anyone can use. Can I use this for non-fiction or screenplays? Absolutely. The principles—idea design, pacing, suspense, clarity—translate cleanly to narrative non-fiction and screen. Will I end up sounding like Crichton? * You’ll borrow his tools, not his voice. The point is to make your stories unputdownable on your own terms. Enroll Now If you’re ready to write intelligent page-turners with real-world voltage, join us today.
