Plotting Your Novel

Plotting Your Novel is a workshop series designed to help with the facets of pre-writing for novel-length works. This series will feature workshops on brainstorming, outlining, character sketches, and more.

Got an idea for a novel? Excellent.

Have no idea where to begin? Even better.
