A bird’s eye view of all the moving parts involved in the novel-writing process.
This workshop deconstructs and demystifies the novel-writing process for struggling and/or aspiring writers. We’ll go all the way from getting the nub of an idea to getting your book into the hands of expectant fans. Along the way, you’ll learn how to stay organized, write in the voice of other genders, the art of rewriting, and how to overcome your writing and marketing fears. By the end of our time together, you’ll be prepared to begin work on a novel and will be equipped with the skills to perfect it. The sessions will include time for writing and for being critiqued.
