A few of the Great ones...Can you name them? See below.
Have you run out of energy on the novel you’ve been writing? Are you carrying around an idea for a novel that never actually gets drafted?
This three session, early spring online class offers exercises and feedback on your work from the teacher aimed at getting you started or restarted on your novel. (This will work for a memoir or other prose narrative too). To
enroll, send a note by email explaining why you think this would
be a good class for you to MeredithSueWillis@gmail.com.
If you are accepted, you will be sent the next step.
The first session goes online (and is emailed) on March 20, 2007. There are three sessions. For information about how an online class operates, see online classes .
This class will focus on getting your novel moving forward. There will be personalized feedback from the teacher,
who is the author of more than a dozen published books and the originator of "Beginning Your Novel" at New York University's School of Continuing and Professional Studies. She will read up to 1000 words from each student each week. Each
session will consist of short written lectures with exercises and writing assignments
that can be used to draft new material or to rework and expand material
you have already written. All
communication will be by email and online.
For the complete schedule, see below.
The
class costs $150, payable in advance. The fee must be received
by March 19, 2007. This means you must apply, be accepted, and send your fee by US Postal Service so that it arrives by March 19, 2007. You will be e-mailed where to mail the check after you are accepted. Your canceled check is
your receipt, and you will receive an email confirming your place in
the class and telling you next steps.
The
small red print:
Enrollment
is extremely limited as the teacher is primarily a working writer. No
applications will be accepted after March 20, 2007. The
class will close earlier if it fills up. If the class closes, a notice will be posted here and at Http://www.meredithsuewillis.com. You are not enrolled until
payment has been received. There are no cash refunds.
