Start Your Novel Workshop

This workshop will be Saturday, Oct. 23 from 2-4 p.m. at OSU-Tulsa.
The goal of this workshop is simple--getting you going on a novel that keeps going. Starting, some say, is the easy part. But starting a novel that you'll actually finish is a whole other kettle of fish, one that retains an air of mystery even to well-published veterans of the art.
We'll try to peer into that mystery in this two day course, examining a number of particularly successful novel openings, both past and present, as well as discussing strategies for getting oneself started (sometimes starting *is* the hard part!), and then working on a number of exercises.
Hopefully, by the end, students will have the opening of their first novel.
Scholarships are available for those with financial need. Apply here.
