This workshop is for those who have always wanted to write a novel but are unsure how to start. Over one day, we will work together to establish an understanding of novel writing practices both technical (craft) and logistical (getting the writing done). We will apply fiction craft techniques to your novel concept and prepare you for the sustained writing practice that will allow your book to get written. In this way, you will leave the workshop with the tools you need to develop and progress your novel.
