A novel is a huge undertaking, and this class is intended to help you break down the process into manageable units, gain perspective, and sharpen the aspects that set your novel apart and make it uniquely yours. This class is intended for advanced novelists who have completed a sizeable portion of their manuscripts. During the eight weeks, you'll submit two excerpts from your novel, for a total of 12,000 words. Each submission receives both written feedback and in-class critique. You'll also complete weekly craft exercises (written at home) which we'll discuss in class. There will be no in-class writing.
Prerequisite: At least one intermediate or advanced class and permission from the instructor. To apply, please email a writing sample (three to five pages) and a brief description of your workshop history to info@lighthousewriters.org. If your application is accepted, you will receive a password to register for the class.
NOTE: Registration for this class will not open until Monday, July 21.
