Certificate in Novel Writing Course II: Writing Into The Middle

Curriculum at a Glance Spring Semester – Course 2: Novel Writing Into The Middle This course will take up where Novel Beginnings left off: by exploring what happens to characters when they leave their ordinary worlds behind and launch into journeys that forever change the trajectory of their lives. Whereas the first novel writing course focused on crafting the ordinary world of the protagonist, this course will additionally focus on exploring secondary characters and subplots in order to create complex and dynamic worlds. A particular focus will be on writing fast and writing strong in order to hit the ground running in the early middle of the novel and to continue structured practice of the habits that allow writers to blast through the initial drafts of their novels. The course runs from February 3, 2024 - April 27, 2024. Note the later event date is to give late registrants additional time to enroll. In addition. there will be 3 live zoom classes with our Authors in Residence for the Teen Writer's Salon with dates TBD.
