Is your dream to write a bestselling novel? There’s no formulas, secrets, or “insiders’ tips” that’ll guarantee you will: it’s up to the marketplace, not the writer, editor, publicist, or agent. No trendy How to Write a Bestseller seminar featuring New York agents and editors will make you a bestselling author.

Better to begin at the beginning by learning how to write well-crafted fiction. In this two-day crash course for absolute beginners and experienced writers in need of a refresher and/​or inspiration, we’ll work with the building blocks of compelling fiction, including plot, characterization, point of view, and narrative time. We’ll discuss seeking publication in practical and professional ways (the Teaching Artist couldn’t get an agent for his first novel but sold it to a major New York house anyway). You won’t learn how to write a bestseller, but you will learn how to craft a good read. You won’t learn how to get published, but you will learn how to seek publication.

Note: There’ll be limited time for questions and your writing won’t be reviewed. Bring a pillow or cushion if you wish, for comfort. Don’t plan on outlets; bring pen and paper even if you have a laptop. Lunch is NOT included, but coffee will be provided. $10 copy fee payable to teaching artist.
