Description

It’s never too soon to start taking yourself seriously as a writer. In this class we’ll cover novel writing from concept to publication. You’ll learn to craft your characters, create the world they live in (real or fantasy), and construct plots that keep readers hooked. We’ll also cover the business end of things: how to get an agent and publisher, how to self-publish, and how to market your work. We’ll have visits from published novelists – and you’ll work closely with other talented students like yourself to form a supportive writing community. Whether you’re at the beginning stages with your ideas or you’ve already got a novel started, this class with give you the knowledge and the inspiration you need.
