THIS COURSE HAS BEGUN AND IS NO LONGER ACCEPTING REGISTRATIONS.
Each November is National Novel Writing Month and many writers draft a novel in four weeks during NaNoWriMo. Imagine how much you might accomplish in twice the time. Instructor Kelly Dwyer will guide you through writing a plot outline, a character arc, and the main elements of your novel. Writers will share their work aloud each week in a supportive and stimulating workshop environment. Kelly will also lecture and lead discussions on such elements of the novel as plot, characterization, dialogue, and point of view. You will leave the course with a strong plot outline, a beginning, middle, and end, and from 20,000 to 60,000 words of a novel (depending on your goal and time commitment). Registration for this course is limited to twelve participants.
SCHOLARSHIP AVAILABLE: Scholarship applications for this course are no longer being accepted. Scholarship applicants will be notified of the status of their application no later than ten days prior to the course start date.
