Intermediate 2 Sessions
2 Sessions This course is designed for writers of fiction who want to create a plot outline or synopsis of their novel. By doing close readings of synopses, we'll identify different elements of a compelling summary and learn how to create them for our own novels in progress. We'll focus on how plotting your novel can help clarify your revision process and strengthen your final manuscript, although coursework will also be relevant to synopses as part of a query package.
