Novel Works in Progress
Where: Writers' Workshoppe & Imprint Books
When: Thursdays - October 17th to December 12th (9 weeks - No class November 28th)
Time: 2:30 to 4:30pm
Participants: Maximum 5
Price: $150
Share your work in progress in a safe, small, and collaborative environment. This workshop is open to beginning novelists who are looking to better understand their story as well as the craft of novel writing.
Each week, writers will bring 6 copies of no more than 1000 words. Everyone will read their work aloud while the rest of the group reads and/or listens along. Writers are encouraged to let the group know if they’d like feedback on a specific element of the story (tone, theme, plot, character, etc.) before they start reading. Afterwards, we’ll take a minute or two to gather our thoughts on the piece, write down any questions/comments, and then we’ll spend time offering helpful feedback that will inspire the writer and guide them forward, handing them back their work after we’ve wrapped up their time.
