Course Description

Whether you have a partial chapter or a full-length manuscript, this course will help you improve it by honing your own editorial eye. You will learn how editors look at manuscripts, then how to step back with objectivity and really see yours. Each class will examine one successful component of story: character, setting, plot, point of view, voice, dialogue, beginnings, endings and structure. Each class will also be dedicated to work-shopping two to three excerpts of student works-in-progress.
