Turn Claude Code into your always-on writing assistant

so you can research faster, outline smarter, and actually ship books without drowning in tabs and chaos.

Why Claude Code?

Most authors use AI in a browser tab.

Claude Code lets you use AI where your work actually lives: inside a project folder with files, drafts, notes, and assets—so the assistant can help you build, not just chat.

In Claude Code, you can:

- Work inside real project folders: your drafts, outlines, and research live together—not scattered across apps

- Give the AI multi-step tasks and watch it break them into a plan, execute, and report back

- Generate usable deliverables: market research reports, beat sheets, character bibles, style guides, launch plans as actual files

- Review and approve actions before anything changes so you stay in control

- Iterate like a pro with comments, revisions, and “update this everywhere” changes that would take hours by hand

At Future Fiction Academy, we’ll teach you Claude Code from an author-first perspective—no coding background required.

What You’ll Master

What Claude Code Is (and Why It’s Different Than ChatGPT-in-a-Tab) 

Understand the “IDE + agent” workflow: projects, files, tasks, and why this environment is perfect for long-form writing work.

Set-Up & Safe Workflows So You Don’t Wreck Your Files  

Learn how to sandbox Claude Code into a dedicated folder, use permission prompts, and keep control over file creation, edits, and deletions.

The Interface, Explained Simply  

Get comfortable with the two key work areas (editor + agent/manager view), file explorer, previews, chat, model selection, and where everything “lives.”

Model Strategy for Authors  

When to use fast models vs deep-thinking models, how to switch when you hit limits, and how to keep momentum in a real project.

Agent-Driven Writing Projects (The Fun Part!)  

Use Claude Code to:

- Identify genre + market positioning

- Pull bestseller and trope trends

- Build or refine story structures (Save the Cat, Romancing the Beat, 3-act, etc.)

- Generate a chapter outline, then expand into beats + hooks

- Create character bibles, world notes, and a living style guide to reduce “AI-isms”

Research With Proof-of-Work 

Learn how the agent can browse, capture sources, and produce reports—plus how to request replays so you can see what it did and verify results.

Revision Power Moves  

Make global updates, request targeted rewrites, add comments like you would in Word, and keep your project consistent across multiple files.

How the Course Works

- Guided Video Walkthroughs led by instructor Kimberly Gordon

- Hands-On Mini Projects that mirror real author tasks (research → outline → characters → launch plan)
