In this weeklong dive into the popular novel, participants will develop and enhance a novel project by better understanding specific writing features, elements, and approaches such as plots, subplots, and plot points; characters and dialogue; learning to layer for clarity and depth; and spirit, nature, and experience. Through discussions and strategies aimed at these elements of the popular novel, participants will receive motivation and direction to build their novels and expand their writing skills. Participants will generate new writing through various exercises as well as read each other’s work and offer feedback. You will leave the workshop with a clear vision of how to move forward. The class is appropriate for writers in their early stages, but more seasoned writers can also benefit. 

 

In this workshop, we will generate new writing through guided exercises and prompts; offer feedback/first impressions on writing you produce in our week.
