If you’ve ever wanted to write a novel, my upcoming Novel Writing course at the CIT may be for you. All you need is a story idea and a desire to create something out of it.
If you’re an experienced writer and you’ve already written a novel (or several), but can’t seem to ‘get it right’, this course should help you turn your work into something readers will appreciate.
Evening 1 – 10 August
Understanding your writing strengths and weaknesses
Developing your story’s premise
Evening 2 – 17 August
Compelling characters
Evening 3 – 31 August
Story Structure – beyond beginnings, middles, and endings
Evening 4 – 7 September
Engaging readers.
Developing your story into a cohesive whole
Evening 5 – 14 September
The elements of story craft
Evening 6 – 21 September
Writing software
Agents, editors, publishers, self publishing
Each evening will contain a mix of practical exercises and easy-to-understand information, and there will be plenty of time during and in-between classes to apply what you learn to your writing projects.
By the end of the course you should have a solid understanding of what you need to do to develop a novel into an engaging read that people will want to share.
