Yes, I, national bestselling, award winning author Deirdre Savoy will be facilitating this month-long workshop set to begin the week of April 30th. This workshop is designed to cover writing basics with an eye to finishing/revising that one of a kind novel. I call this a thematic workshop, one designed to see if all your story elements mesh. For a preview go here.
Course syllabus:
April 30: Theme, premise and conflict: The basics of novel structure.
May 7: Characterization and plot: cast your novel/plan your story.
May 14: Getting over the hump: how to keep tension and drama building throughout your story.
May 21: Finishing up: tying up loose ends/finding the just-right ending.
Each week, a lecture and assignment will be posted. Completion and posting of assigned work for peer review is not mandatory but advised if students want to get the most from the class.
