10 Week Fiction Workshop: Novel Writing Master Class

In this intensive workshop, a veteran editor of a major publishing house will help you hone your story arc, character development, setting, voice, point of view, grammar, and every element of your manuscript. You’ll receive detailed feedback from the instructor and your fellow writers on up to ten pages each week as you work toward polishing your novel for eventual submission to literary agents and book publishers.

Once a week, we’ll gather on Zoom to discuss your pages and help you pinpoint the keys to compelling novel writing and must-know craft skills to sharpen your revisions. You’ll also meet one-on-one with the instructor and have opportunities to submit revised pages for feedback. By the end of the class, you’ll have up to eighty edited pages of your manuscript, a stable of tips and techniques that will elevate every aspect of your writing, and insight into how to position yourself in the current fiction market.
