This course was available in the past and may be presented again as part of the Open Enrollment curriculum.

Over the course of six weeks, I will guide you into starting a novel and staying motivated while writing the first chapters! This online class will offer craft discussions, intensive study of a mentor text, instructor feedback on a synopsis, as well as approximately 40 pages of work. We will use Canvas for online interactions and Zoom for live webinars. You will develop a supportive creative cohort as you work on developing your novel-in-progress, and by the end of the six weeks, you should have at least forty pages of a novel completed, though it need not be in polished form.
