Ready to write a novel? Not sure where to start? Join me for a 6-week online workshop with Writing Workshops starting March 11 from 6-8pm CT and get all the tools you need in a creative, informative, and fun atmosphere.
Everyone loves the idea of writing a novel…until they start it.
The truth is, most writers abandon their first novels halfway through, including this instructor, because they don't really know what they're doing, or they don't have the discipline needed to sustain a world for 50-90k.
However, with a deeper understanding of the fundamentals of writing a novel, practical strategies for completing a first draft, supportive mentorship, and a solid writing community, students of all levels will receive the guidance and tools they need to finish a large chunk or a complete working draft.
In this generative 6-week workshop, you will:
Generate a novel questionnaire to help get you started.
Outline your project and discover new writing methods.
Work on character development exercises.
Work through activities on setting and style.
Learn tips on building scenes and creating conflict.
Hone your dialogue practice with new techniques.
Discover methods for incorporating backstory, flashbacks, and transitions.
Learn actionable tips for next steps beyond the first draft such as crafting a query letter, finding an agent, and publishing.
