Where: Online -- Imprint Bookstore
Share your work in progress in a safe, small, and collaborative environment. This 4-week 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 email the group a single excerpt of no more than 1,000 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 couple of minutes 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.
