Get your novel up and running!
Does your novel have legs? For writers with a novel in progress, getting through the first 50-100 pages is a critical first step to get to the end. This workshop is for writers who are there (or just about there). We’ll cover the basics–character, dialogue, plot, point of view, voice, and structure. Each writer will distribute a brief synopsis and up to 25 pages of their novel in progress for constructive critique. You’ll leave the workshop with a better understanding of your novel, armed with the tools to keep going.
