NOVEL WRITING 1ST DRAFT
SUMMER TERM
June 21st to August 23rd
Mondays
6:00 to 9:00 PM EST
10 Weeks of Lectures, Support & Community!
This class is designed for writers working on and committed to finishing a 1st or 2nd draft of a novel (or a memoir).
Each week writers check in with their “wins” and any struggles or roadblocks
they might be encountering.
Some writers might commit to a weekly goal regarding a page or word count.
Some prefer to focus on the amount of time they will devote to writing.
I, along with the rest of the group, address any concerns
and provide brainstorming solutions.
There is a weekly lecture regarding writing .
Topics range from structure to dialogue and everything in between.
I allow at least 90 minutes for writing time.
This ensures that everyone leaves the class each week with some solid writing.
And plenty of support and inspiration under their belts.
"When I started my novel I was lost on how to proceed. The first chapter had been in my computer for well over a year … I was stuck! Nelsie got me unstuck after the first session! Working with her for a few months has made me a better writer and I finished the first draft of my novel in less than a year! She's encouraging and straight forward. Nelsie is meant to do this and she's spectacular at guiding writers!"
-- Deborah Gold, Novelist, July 2020
