About the Course:
Got a novel in you?
"Novel Writing 101" is a ten-week course that takes you step-by-step through the novel-writing process. Discover what kind of writer you are, a “plotter” or a “pantser.” Learn different approaches for outlining your novel, how to build characters and the worlds they live in, how to set the pace, the story arc, and how to author a compelling and satisfying ending. Practice writing action scenes, suspense scenes, romance scenes, and more. Share your work with your fellow students to receive critique and criticism. Get tips on establishing and sticking to a writing regiment, dealing with writer’s block, and managing distractions. And, finally, learn how to edit your novel and submit it to literary agents or publishers or publish it on your own. This course is informative and fun, but it’s also a commitment. Be ready to write.
All classes will be held in either the Half Conference Center.
