Have you always wanted to write a novel but you’re not sure where to start?  Are you already writing but unsure of the basic building blocks for a good novel?  Are you nearing the end of your first draft and aren’t sure what to do next? If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, this workshop can prepare you to move up to the next level of novel writing.
