Summary:

Ever get a great idea for a novel, but run out of steam by chapter three? Or felt like you wanted to try long-form fiction, but feel daunted by the length?

Join us for a half-day intensive examining the nuts and bolts of novel-writing—character, setting, plot, dialogue, and everything in between. For writers between 13 and 18.
