Fire Up Your Novel: A Fiction Workshop

Five Tuesday Sessions

2 – 4 PM EST

Dates: 11/11 – 12/9

Whether you’re polishing a manuscript, chasing a new idea, or staring down a blank page, this lively, streamlined version of my popular Anatomy of a Novel workshop is designed to ignite your creativity and keep it burning all season long.

Each week, we’ll focus on reading and responding to student work in a supportive, energizing environment, with targeted discussions of craft woven in as needed—structure, voice, character, dialogue, and more.

Bring your in-progress novel, brainstorm something brand new in class, or use the sessions to finally start the project you’ve been dreaming about. Writers commit to sharing three to four double-spaced pages per week for thoughtful, encouraging feedback.

Join us to build momentum, gain clarity, and keep your story moving forward—with inspiration, accountability, and community.

This class is ideal for people who:

• Are writing or want to write a novella or novel in any genre
• Are interested in sharing work and giving feedback
• Want to write new words in their project or revise an existing project
• Are beginning or intermediate writers, or are advanced writers new to novel-writing

What you will take from this class:

• Inspiration to continue to work on your project
• Confidence to finish your work in progress, revise your manuscript, or start a new work
• Maybe some lifelong writer friends

Testimonials:

“For serious writers who seek an opportunity to learn the craft and how to apply the tools of the trade to the greatest extent possible in a four-week session, definitely take this workshop! You can’t help but improve on skills and creativity. You will come out with a much better understanding of the process than before and leave with a stocked toolbox.”  – P.G.

“Anatomy of a Novel presents some basics of writing fiction that I haven’t found elsewhere, or that just haven’t clicked before. It has been enormously valuable. I’m actually writing a story now! ” – L.O.
