Building Your Young Adult Novel
Do you feel like you’re writing without a map? Creating great scenes and interesting characters but confused about where your story is going? With a special focus on plot and character, this class is for the student in any stage of working on a young adult novel. In-class activities will include use of the Hero’s Journey model, identification of central questions, and creation of a character web. This is an opportunity to work on the skeleton of your book instead of its flesh.
Beginning Fall 2021, we will be adding select in-person classes back to our course catalog. The majority of our classes will still be offered via Zoom.
If a class says IN-PERSON in its title, it will take place in person at our permanent home in Seattle.
If a class says ASYNCHRONOUS in its title, it will take place on Wet Ink, our asynchronous learning platform.
If a class does not have a marker after its title, it will take place via Zoom.
