If you found November too busy to take advantage of National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo), welcome to Jan-O-Wrimo! In this class, we're going to start off the new year by jumping into the novel you've been wanting to write. Using in-class writing exercises and homework assignments focused on plotting, developing characters and setting, and exploring point of view and structure, you'll set the course to get your novel underway.

For these classes, tuition increments starting at $5 and going up to 125% of the standard pricing will be listed on the page.
