The universe is no narrow thing and the order within it is not constrained by any latitude in its conception to repeat what exists in one part in any other part. Even in this world more things exist without our knowledge than with it and the order in creation which you see is that which you have put there, like a string in a maze, so that you shall not lose your way. For existence has its own order and that no man's mind can compass, that mind itself being but a fact among others.</div><h1>Write <span>Better</span> Fiction</h1><div class="hero-content"> <span>Get Help With Writing &amp; Publishing Your Book</span> <a href="Choose a course, /writing-courses/, " class="button dark" target="_self">Choose a course</a></div></section><section id="press-mentions" class="press-mentions  block"> <span>MENTIONED IN:</span><div class="mentions-wrapper"><section class="mentions-logos slider"><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/publishers-weekly-logo.png.webp" alt="Publishers Weekly"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/the-huffington-post-logo.png.webp" alt="The Huffington Post"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/writers-digest-logo.png.webp" alt="Writers Digest"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/the-guardian-logo.png.webp" alt="The Guardian"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/penguin-books-logo.png.webp" alt="Penguins Books"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/los-angeles-times-logo.png.webp" alt="Los Angeles Times"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/publishers-weekly-logo.png.webp" alt="Publishers Weekly"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/the-huffington-post-logo.png.webp" alt="The Huffington Post"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/writers-digest-logo.png.webp" alt="Writers Digest"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/the-guardian-logo.png.webp" alt="The Guardian"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/penguin-books-logo.png.webp" alt="Penguins Books"> </a></div><div class="slide"> <a href="" target="" title=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/2021/08/los-angeles-times-logo.png.webp" alt="Los Angeles Times"> </a></div></section></div></section><section id="about" class="about"><div class="about-wrapper"><div class="img"> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/john-fox-hover-1-1.png.webp" alt=""> <img decoding="async" src="https://s35085.pcdn.co/wp-content/uploads/john-fox-hover-1-1.png.webp" alt=""></div><div class="about-content"><h2>HI, I&#8217;M JOHN FOX</h2> <span>
