So you have a killer novel concept—now what? In this class, Los Angeles author Anna Dorn will help you structure, organize, and develop your novel so that it can reach your target audience. This workshop is a good fit for anyone with a novel idea, whether it’s just a loose concept or a rough first draft. Each student will submit work to Anna each week over email and she will provide feedback.
Assignments include: developing a logline and 3-act outline, answering Francesca Lia Block’s 12 questions to structure your novel, producing the first and last pages of the novel, writing a query letter, and a one-on-one call with Anna to discuss lingering questions and the path-to-publication.
