You have an idea for a book. How do you develop that idea into something compelling enough to carry an entire novel? In this workshop, Alex Kourvo and Bethany Neal will show you how to expand your original idea into a full novel by adding a unique hook, compelling characters, and high stakes.
This event is part of the monthly Emerging Writers Workshops, which offer support, learning, and advice for local authors. Each month, two weeks after the workshop, there is a meet-up where the instructors are available to review samples of your work and offer advice and assistance in a casual, supportive atmosphere.
Do you have a completed manuscript? Consider submitting it to the library's imprint Fifth Avenue Press.
