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.
