Do you have a book-length work of fiction that you can’t find the time to finish? Are you stuck at a key point in a manuscript you’ve poured your whole heart into? Do you feel like your novel is missing something, but you can’t quite figure out what? Don’t despair or struggle alone! Give yourself the gift of creative community and join The Center’s novel writing workshop with award-winning author and writing professor Dr. Mathangi Subramanian.

In this Intermediate/Advanced-level class, you’ll learn how to structure your novel by focusing on the building blocks of fiction through generative exercises and explorations of craft. Students will determine how to make the best decisions for their works-in-progress based on point of view, tense, character development, the necessities of world-building, and more. There will be an opportunity to receive feedback from the instructor but the majority of class time will be focused on generating and structuring writing.

This course is held online via Zoom. There is no meeting on November 5th.
