Have an idea you’re dying to write as a novel? A killer thriller, a steamy romance, or cozy mystery? Novels are one of the most versatile art forms for good reason: they can take almost any shape, genre, or size. But that presents a problem: how do you begin one? In this class we’ll dive into the preparatory work of novel writing.
Participants will leave this class with a greater understanding of the novel form, and a game plan for tackling their creative masterpiece.
We’ll cover subjects such as:
- Is my idea a novel or a short story?
- Antagonists and protagonists, sidekicks and mentors
- Brainstorming and exercises to prime your creativity
- Plus the most important part of writing a novel, regardless of genre
This class is taught by a graduate student in the University of Missouri-Kansas City’s MFA Program in Creative Writing.
