WHOLE NOVEL GENRE: AN ONLINE COURSE FOR SCI-FI, FANTASY, HORROR, & BEYOND
Online, 10-Week Whole Novel Program
The Whole Novel Workshop offers writers the rare opportunity to have the entire draft of a novel (up to 80,000 words) read with written feedback and a private consultation, along with rich presentations specifically designed for novelists at this stage in their writing journey.
This virtual course features:
Rich presentations (Genre fiction analysis, power structures, world building, scene work, character development, revision, goal setting, and more!)
Writing exercises and small group workshopping
A feedback letter offering written insights and questions about your drafted novel (up to 80,000 words) to help you prioritize goals and next steps.
A 60-minute private consultation with your reader to discuss feedback, revisions, and next steps.
Connection opportunities with fellow writers.
All presentations are recorded for those who cannot attend live.
Please note:
If accepted to the program, your full novel draft is due on or before February 29.
IT’S A GREAT FIT IF…
You have a complete or near-complete draft of a novel. You’ll get the most out of this workshop if you’re at this stage. Your full workshop novel submission is due by February 29, and then you’ll workshop it in earnest, readying it for submission.
Your project is one of many fiction genres, a graphic novel, a verse novel, or a multi-genre novel. If you aren’t sure if your novel fits the program specifics, please reach out and ask.
You would benefit from receiving multiple feedback perspectives. In addition to a whole novel review by your faculty reader, you will lead a discussion for feedback from fellow writers.
You’re willing to work! This program is best for those who will dedicate time and attention to processing feedback, revising, writing exercises, and group sessions.
You enjoy online learning. This workshop takes place on Zoom with regular meetings on Thursday evenings February 15 – April 25 at 7:30pm Eastern. Can’t attend live? Presentations will be recorded. (Please note that 1:1 consultations and small group workshopping will not be recorded.)
