Have you just completed the first draft of a novel and need to tackle revision?
Have you not completed your first manuscript draft because you're feeling stuck?
Join an 8-week intensive manuscript workshop to:
- Re-“vision” your narrative
- Make your characters spring to life off the page
- Learn and trust your particular creative process
- Discover and strengthen your central themes
- Give and receive in-depth constructive feedback on your writing from your instructor and peers
- Engage in experimental weekly writing exercises to fine-tune your style
Participants will submit excerpts of their work in progress for critique and will acquire advanced writing skills through a study of a variety of literary models and in-class writing exercises.
