Class Description

Description

What you'll learn in this novel writing course:

You have an idea for a novel. Perhaps you’ve sketched out some characters or jotted down some scenes. Maybe you’ve written a few chapters, or a first draft — or maybe you haven't been able to get started. This workshop will help you proceed from where you are, whether that’s Square One or somewhere along the way. Writing a novel involves creating a world populated by compelling characters while making sure every moment brings the story to its fullest potential. This workshop will help you develop the skills to make that happen. Approaches to plotting will receive special attention. Other topics include voice, point of view, dialogue and theme. Each student will have a chance to submit one chapter, or about ten pages of work, every other week. These pages will be read by everyone in advance. Expect lively and friendly discussions by a small, supportive group. Appropriate for genre and literary fiction.


Location Instructions: Students will need to check in with reception, and on their first visit they will need to check in with the Membership Desk to get their program participant card for entry. Reception will direct them to the room where their class is being held.
