Class Description

Description

You have an idea for a novel. Perhaps you’ve sketched out some characters or jotted down some scenes. Maybe you’ve written a few chapters, or a first draft — or maybe you haven't been able to get started. This workshop will help you proceed from where you are, whether that’s Square One or somewhere along the way. Writing a novel involves creating a world populated by compelling characters while making sure every moment brings the story to its fullest potential. This workshop will help you develop the skills to make that happen. Approaches to plotting will receive special attention. Other topics include voice, point of view, dialogue and theme. Each student will have a chance to submit one chapter, or about ten pages of work, every other week. These pages will be read by everyone in advance. Expect lively and friendly discussions by a small, supportive group. Appropriate for genre and literary fiction.


Location Instructions: Students will need to check in with reception, and on their first visit they will need to check in with the Membership Desk to get their program participant card for entry. Reception will direct them to the room where their class is being held.

Refund Policy

The refund policy varies by branch and program, however, in most instances a refund is only given if the school cancels a program. Program credit may only be issued in special circumstances.

In the event that an instructor or the school needs to cancel at the last minute, students will receive a refund less a 5% non-refundable registration fee.

In any event where a customer wants to cancel their enrollment and is eligible for a full refund, a 5% processing fee will be deducted from the refund amount.
