Starting a Novel: On Scope and Style Master Class with Alejandro Heredia

In this workshop, we will discuss the various elements of scope and style that a writer must consider while beginning a novel. What characters should the story follow so that I can tell the best version of this story? What point of view might best serve the story? When and how should I release information to keep the reader engaged? What form might sustain the story for the length of a novel, and how can I intentionally break form, to add further meaning to my project? Together, we will look at key examples of novel openings from works by Rivka Galchen, Virginia Woolf, and others. This workshop is for folks who are about to begin or just beginning a novel, and it will serve folks who have written a full draft and are now in the process of revising their manuscript.

The Art of the Novel Master Class with Nicole Dennis-Benn

The novel is a vast landscape. But despite the liberal space, a good novel requires structure—direction, motive, and dynamic characters that will take readers through the terrain. Through reading, writing, and discussion, this intensive workshop will challenge students to expand on ideas, using the tools given to make the novel work as a unified, compelling whole.

This master class may be more beneficial for writers who already have a novel in progress; however, is open to those who are just getting started.
