Novel I

That novel is inside you waiting to emerge, but knowing how and where to start can be daunting.

This course provides you with weekly assignments, group interaction and instructor feedback to help you explore various methods of writing your first novel while learning the key craft points of plot, structure, characterization, point-of-view, sense of place and voice.

The goal is to complete the first chapter of your novel by establishing an intimacy with your characters as you artfully shape their journey and to develop an overall concept to guide you through your story.

Required for students considering the long-fiction sequence.
