In this class\, we will take a deep dive into workshopping your novels and the complex lives and experiences they reveal. We will address how to revise and deepen overarching creative choices such as character\, voice\, and setting\, and we will undertake a nuts-and-bolts approach to how to construct structure\, plot\, and tension. Craft issues that emerge within participants’ work will guide our writing exercises and the published material we read. We will also spend some time discussing the publishing process and what agents and editors are looking for in the novels they acquire. Over the course of the 10-week class\, participants should be prepared to workshop two 15- to 25-page excerpts of their novels-in-progress and a novel synopsis. \n URL:https://inprinthouston.org/event/novel-2018-405/ LOCATION:Writers In The Schools-Meeting House\, 1519 West Main\, Houston\, TX\, 77006\, United States CATEGORIES:Writers Workshops ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://inprinthouston.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/person-writing-with-books.jpg END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
