OUTLINE YOUR NOVEL & WRITE YOUR FIRST CHAPTER IN A MONTH!

ALL YOU NEED TO GET STARTED IS AN IDEA. That's it. Just an idea and the determination to put something down on the page. Buuut the thing is that part can be very hard. It takes accountability! It also, for a lot of us, takes some structure and a deadline we did not set ourselves. This six-session seminar is designed to get your idea for a novel out of your head and onto that page. Students will write their first chapter and an outline over the course of class; you will leave this course with the ability to bring your novel to life. 

The class will be taught by author Alanna Bennett (THE EDUCATION OF KIA GREER), and we’ll do our best to feature Q&As with other authors as well.

SESSION ONE: Building out your idea

HOMEWORK GOING INTO SESSION TWO: Complete a worksheet detailing your idea
