In this class, Margaret will focus on the novel: what it can do, aspects and possibilities in its form, and lessons she is learned through writing her own novels. You will learn ways to structure a novel, how to develop characters, how to get readers interested with a compelling beginning, and how to keep them interested through the last page. Margaret will also share some tips to help you keep going and stay motivated during the drafting and revision process.
Whether you are just starting to write fiction and looking to generate pages, or have a draft of a story or novel that you hope to revise and refine, the exercises in this workbook will offer you generative prompts, new craft moves, and revision tactics. Each is designed to encourage you to experiment with and test out a range of craft techniques as you find the most compelling way to tell your story.
No matter what your experience level, by the end of the class, you will have built a versatile tool kit of writing techniques, strategies for how to begin and finish your novel, and a store of resources to assist you in moving your completed manuscript into the world.
