This workshop will provide a comprehensive overview to the novel writing, revision, and publication process. Participants will workshop the opening pages of their novels; discuss key overarching elements including plot, structure, pacing, tension, characterization, and more; and receive tips and advice relating to revision, the agent hunt, and the publication process. Participants should be prepared to submit the opening 10 pages of their novels during the workshop; they will also have the option to submit a synopsis and query letter for discussion. Open to advanced writers with a novel in progress. Led by writer and Gordon Square Review editor-in-chief Laura Maylene Walter.
