Thanks to a generous grant from the Orange County Arts Commission, we are offering a free-to-participants Writing the Novel class in Chapel Hill (exact location coming soon!) during our Aug-Sept 2023 round. Here are the details:
Description: This is a craft and workshop hybrid class for students who are interested in learning more about writing novels. Discussions will include short story pacing versus novel pacing; identifying whether an idea is better suited for a novel or a short story; coming up with ideas for novels; the essential elements of a novel; outlining novels; and more. We will read and discuss two short novels in this course, and by the end of the course, all students will have written, workshopped, and polished a first chapter of a novel, and will leave the course with a roadmap for how to complete their book.
Instructor: Emily Cataneo
Dates: Begins Thursday, Aug. 17, 2023 and runs every Thursday for six weeks
Location: coming soon
Time: 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
8 seats max
