Novel Writing: Chick Lit: Advanced
Take your chick lit novel to the next level
Course Details
You have an outline for the next great chick lit novel. You have a start on your draft, but you don't know what to do next. You need guidance. You need deadlines. You need someone to tell you if you're even on the right track. How can you figure out if you've got something good before you sit down to write 300 pages, and more importantly, how can you stop procrastinating? Join a small group of fellow writers in your pursuit of a polished complete first draft under the guidance of a published novelist. In this rigorous 8 week workshop, you will read and comment on the writing of your fellow students and also get your own work critiqued. In so doing, you'll learn the fine points of craft, when to use an outline, when to leave well enough alone, and how to turn your pages into a best-seller. Be prepared to live the life of a working novelist -- reading selections and turning out 5-10 pages of your book each week -- and then have the opportunity to speak with an agent or editor about how to sell your novel.

Instructor BioLynda Curnyn's Courses No courses available at this time.  Testimonials Lynda is encouraging and open minded and helps facilitate good chemistry between her students. Taking her class was almost like enrolling in a mini MFA program. It helped my writing enormously and has really enabled me to move my novel forward. -- Jaime Cunningham"I couldn't wait to come to Lynda's class each week! Her advice was clear and practical, her interest in our work genuine, and she kept the class interesting and fun. I came with only a vague notion for novel and now have fifty solid pages!" -- Bisanne Masoud "Lynda was a pure delight. It was like having Carrie Bradshaw as an instructor. She was extremely encouraging and balanced the class well between advice, workshopping, and in-class writing." -- Kathleen Lucadamo "Now that I've taken Lynda's class, I am seventy pages into my novel after eight weeks and really believe I can finish it." -- Jessica Rosevear "Lynda's class was perfect! The content was great and the structure was really well designed. The workshops were useful and the length of the class was just right." -- Aarti Arora "Lynda was thorough, supportive, humorous, encouraging, and totally insightful! She really went the extra mile to support me as a first time writer!" -- Kimberly Frye "Lynda is not only encouraging but her feedback is meaningful and specific. I got a lot from this class that I could not have read in a book." -- Caroline Gartner |
