I suppose I can’t complain since I’m headed to graduate school this fall, but I do regret that I won’t be in town for my fiction teacher Carol Test’s novel-writing workshop. She has this great syllabus structure in which students bring in the same section of their novels at the same time — the beginning, the reversals, section ends, and such. This setup makes each workshop more focused so students can identify specific strengths and weaknesses in their own work and how to give specific feedback in the works of others.
Carol, will you be able to offer this next June when I’m back in town for summer vacation!?
Back by popular demand, CRW 271: The Novel Process is designed to help students take a mass of pages and turn them into a novel with a clear, solid structure. The course will focus on outlining, developing scene lists, structuring the novel, creating conflict and workshopping pivotal scenes.
