Writing Workshops LA: Novel I

Novel I (taught by Diana Wagman in Echo Park)

Tuesdays, 7:30 to 9:30 pm
July 26, 2016 to September 13, 2016

This eight-week class is designed for both those who have begun novels and those who are looking to begin a novel. Students will work on character, structure, plot, pacing, point of view, voice, setting, as well as what makes a good beginning and how to end your story. We will discuss the pros and cons of outlining and read one short novel together over the eight weeks as a basis of discussion. For the first two weeks, students will do in-class writing exercises aimed at forwarding their stories. For the remaining six weeks, students will read and workshop each other’s work in a serious environment meant to challenge and inspire every member of the class. Each student will have the opportunity to workshop one chapter (maximum 30 pages).

This class will take place in Echo Park, where wine and sparkling water—and the occasional gourmet cheese—will be served.

Enrollment limit: 8 students
$390 for new students; $350 for returning students (Payment plans available to returning students.)
