Writing a novel is often a marathon experience. The challenges are in starting; in keeping the faith; and, of course, in finishing.

The Novel

“The Novel” weekend is all about technique. We’ll work on:

  • defining your writing strengths (dialogue, character, voice, plot, etc.)
  • deploying those strengths in the novel form
  • knowing your genre or subgenre
  • generating material more fluently
  • finding a balance between structure and form
  • solving writing problems native to the novel
  • revising a book-length manuscript

During the weekend, you’ll get an overview of what it takes to complete a novel. You do not need to be working on a book to attend the workshop. Whether you’re a beginner or an established writer, you’ll be able to solicit the information and insights to get the words on the page.

Beginners and non-native speakers of English are welcome.

  • July 11 & 12, 1:00 pm - 5:00 pm
