Reading and Writing for Novelists [Waverly Fitzgerald]

Time: 12:00am - 12:00am PT
Capacity: seat
Member Price: $265.50
General Price: $295.00

All Levels. A craft class focusing on identifying the aspects of writing we love in other novels and learning how to adapt them to improve our own work. We’ll begin by identifying our favorite writers in our current genre, then analyze their work and apply the lessons learned to our own writing. Each week, we’ll cover a different craft aspect: structure and scene, suspense and pacing, character development and dialogue, image and voice.
