Have ever dreamed of writing a novel? Or have you started a book project and found yourself floundering? If so, please join us for this survey class on the basics of writing fiction. They include:

  • Character
  • Plot
  • Point of view
  • Setting
  • Dialogue
  • Scene

We’ll also touch on a few highlights regarding publishing and pitching your work.

You’ll hear an overview of these topics and then have some time for questions and discussion. After the class, you will be sent a handout with the names of great books on writing and websites that will help you begin your journey as a writer. Come prepared to take notes and ask questions.

Level: Beginner (Writers of nonfiction are also welcome to attend.)
