If you ve set a New Year s resolution to finally start writing, but have no clue what to do next, this course is for you.
Writing is a skill and habit that can be learned by anyone determined to see their words in print.
Under the guidance of a professional editor, you ll brainstorm with fellow students to develop a novel outline, create a cast of characters, decide which point of view and structural form are most appropriate, write an opening scene, and even formulate a marketing plan. Demonstrated techniques are easily adaptable to your own work, regardless of your category of interest. You ll meet other local writers with similar interests, pick up valuable pointers, and have a great time as well. Lunch is on your own, but you ll be invited to dine with the instructor for further discussion. The course format will be lecture, followed by individual or small-group activity to put into practice the ideas covered.
